Mediaverse reports that the Memphis Tigers mascot was put to sleep yesterday. He was 17 years old and had cancer. The Tigers site says:

A memorial is planned for the Tigers' Homecoming game versus Southern Miss on October 25. The Tiger Guard asks that any memorials be sent to the Highland Hundred via the Tiger Football office at 136 Athletic Office Building, Memphis, TN 38152.
