BEVO it's what's for dinner

[Goodpasture]

The Longhorns' mascot was named by (or, at the very least, because of) Texas A&M. When the Aggies branded Bevo I with the final score of the prior year's A&M win, some creative thinking was required to change "13-0" so it read "BEVO." When Bevo I refused to become domesticated, the animal was slaughtered and served as barbecue to Longhorn and Aggie fans alike, thus ending U.T.'s live mascot tradition until 1936.

That's a good story - I can like something about A&M or even KSU, those guys are sooo anti PC. Like when KSU tosses chickens out at Kansas, I get real satisfaction from all the socialists urinating themselves over chicken rights.

I'd pay bail money for a couple cowboys from OU (I know, the cowboys go to OSU) to twine Bevo and cut his horns and leave him bleeding during halftime. Probably it would be bad for animal agriculture, but it would do my heart good. UT fans would have a candelight vigil, and the rest of the conferance would have a toast.

The UT football team has the players to beat anybody, its just a matter of when they put it togather.
