Next stop ... the upstate.

The nickname tigers came from a group of workers used for dangerous jobs because slaveowners did not want to risk their slaves / property. The confederate soldiers group was named after them for their voracity.

It's a PETA Group out of Cootlumbia Protesting because our Tigers have been killing their Chickens! Now they are afraid they gonna have to play the LSU Tigers if the SEC moves to a 9 game Conference series.

They only mate and hang out with their own kind. Come to think of it, the entire animal kingdom should be boycotted.

They removed confederate monuments a few weeks ago in New Orleans. I suppose this is the next step. There will be another step after this.
