So what?

The Tulane “Green Wave” dies every 10 seconds.

The Ga Tech “Yellow Jacket” lives a summer - if lucky.

I wouldn’t eat a brisket from Bevo.. Sad to hear of its passing.

But that does give me an idea for next week’s BBQ offering on Norm’s smack yur lips bistro by the barnyard menu.

Cook ‘em Horns!!

No doubt that the Longhorns’ recent, dismal performance on the field (excluding the recent upset of OU) hastened his demise.

I’m not a Horns fan, but was planning to take the high road knowing that a mascot is special to each school...but I have to admit your “cook ‘em Horns” is hilarious.

XIV inspired the team ONE MORE TIME! To rise up, WIN ONE FOR BEVO, and spank the Sucky Sooners.

XIV was an damned fine Bevo.

He witnesses the rebirth of the Longhorn football program, culminating with the BCS National Championship in 2005. He saw UT win the GREATEST COLLEGE GAME of ALL TIME, with the Rose Bowl win over the USC Trojans.

It’s a sad, sad day.... but, as they say: Death comes to us all.

RIP XIV

May your successor have an equally long reign of dominance.
