Guess who walked into the Tiger locker room just a few minutes ago? Never mind. You’ll never guess. Let’s just say it’s one of the greatest bass players ever: Bootsy Collins. Yes, Bootsy Collins, the man who played with James Brown AND George Clinton.

Turns out Bootsy wrote a song called “Fear the Tigers” as part of some marketing campaign. So he came decked out in a Tiger blue zoot suit, as only Bootsy could.

This has to be a good sign.

Oh, and in the Tiger locker room, I asked Pierre Niles if he knew who Ben Spiva was. A lot of fans compared Niles to Spiva after the former smacked that goofy-looking kid at UAB during that little post-game brawl a few weeks ago.  Niles, though, had no idea who Spiva was, adding, “I ain’t no enforcer.”

See you tomorrow.

At least with the presence of notable personalities you won’t be bored while covering the warm-up games between the Tigers and whoever.
