We’re told—and when it comes to Mardi Gras stuff, we have to be told—that a Mobile Mardi Gras Secret Society will have an Auburn-themed float come February, complete with a giant Aubie decoration up the Toomer’s Oaks (and friend?). At least that’s what the Mystic Stripers Society M.S.S’s concept drawing for the float seems to suggest.
The parade’s theme is “Famous Mascots” or “College Mascots.” So there’s likely to be a Big Al float as well. But there’s supposedly a tiger float every year, so unless the Alabama White Bear shows up, he’ll be outnumbered.
