Comment: I grew up in Memphis where everyone roots for the U. of Memphis Tigers. Sometime in the mid-80s (I think in the 85-86 season) loudmouth analyst Dick Vitale supposedly disrespected then-Memphis State and someone sent him a big parcel of Tiger poop in the mail.

More importantly, how did said prankster get his hands on tiger poo? Follow a tiger around with a bag?

Probably got it from the local zoo.

My father used elephant dung in his garden sometimes and claimed it was good.

Zoo manure programs are always handled by "donations" (heh) from non-primate herbivores.
Even then it has to be composted or heat-treated.
You get into serious issues with poop from primates (which is essentially the exact same thing as human poo) and carnivores (nasty).
Most of it comes from elephants and hippos, because they make so much crap. If you've never seen a hippo make a bowel movement, it's something you should plan on witnessing before you die. Not for the faint of heart, but truly amazing.
I'd say it's highly unlikely that someone got tiger poop from a zoo to use in a prank like this.

So the gist of this is, what's the point of going to all the trouble of obtaining real tiger poop if your victim wouldn't know real tiger poop if he saw it? It's not like he's going to open the package and exclaim, "Wow, orange-and-black striped scat -- it must be tiger excrement ..."

he thinks he does, his only concerns is the ACC or the Big East. If a team is from the West Coast or midwest, forget it.

I was thinking more along the lines of "It's for a science experiment."
Works every time.
