Washington prepares for LSU game by bringing a tiger to practice

Washington coach Steve Sarkisian invited a special guest to practice Tuesday and you guessed it, the special guest was a 300-pound bengal tiger.

LSU's Tiger Stadium is one of the most difficult places to play in college football, so to get his team prepared for Saturday's game, Sarkisian took the slighly unorthodox route of bringing the tiger to practice. An actual, real, living tiger.

Sarkisian invited Sheena -- a 300-pound bengal tiger from Canby, Ore. -- to practice, presumably so his team won't be intimidated when LSU runs their tiger out on the field in [rip] valley Saturday.

Tacoma News-Tribune reporter Ryan Divish took an excellent photo of the gentle beast, which you can see above. Thanks to Kegs 'N Eggs for a link to Divish's picture.

Lets hope no one at Washington's practice feeds the tiger cinnamon, because as everyone who's seen the Hangover knows, tigers hate cinnamon.

they should have an ambulance as well. Tigers gonna tear that[..] apart.

ah man..the irony if that tiger got out and mauled some of the players

!! ain't gon help. If I had my money on a crazy coon[..] liquored up vs that tiger...im going with the coon[..]..but if nick saban was in the mix id take saban!

jake locker almost got it done against lsu @ home in '09. But washington going to lsu for a night game........Good Luck.

He didn't "almost" get it done. Their offense put up some numbers but LSU had the lead for almost the whole game and had a 15 point lead until Washington got a garbage touchdown to end the game.

Upset alert [pic]

I'm scared. I ain't never scared.

!!ing idiots

refs !!ed that game up [pic]


also, last week i had UW upsetting lsu... but now their RG, RB and a DE are out for the game (and some/most of the season) so I'm not expecting a win anymore...

the fact that you were expecting a win AT ALL makes me wonder about your braincells.

LSu is gonna run it down their throats. Price might have success against our young secondary but how exactly do you expect UW to come into [rip] Valley and win? You're either a homer or just a flat out idiot who doesn't watch enough football.

Did you see what happened to Oregon last year? Washington isn't even on their level.

i have faith in my teams

sorry i'm not a !! that expects them to lose every game [pic]

They're just so outmatched in every way. Price is the only real advantage I'd give them but we haven't even seen much of Mettenberger yet. Nothing wrong with being realistic.
