Pinkel had fun with ALS challenge but takes the cause seriously. Washington coaching colleague Ray Dorr suffered from ALS, died in 2001

What's Your Tiger Name?
I think some combination of the heat or the shock of being doused in ice water affected Gary's memory briefly - either that or Gark is so focused on football he never bothers to remember our national championship winning mascot, Truman the Tiger.
Mizzou lineman Alec Abeln enjoyed it:

Which leads me to the obvious question, what would your Tiger's name be?
