The Texas Longhorns’ Mascot Was NOT Happy To Meet University of Georgia’s Bulldog

Sure… a meeting of the mascots SOUNDS cute… but who the hell thought THIS was a good idea?

OMG!

That was SO close.

According to TMZ:

The Texas Longhorns’ mascot, Bevo the steer, was NOT down to meet its University of Georgia counterpart in Uga the bulldog, and it might be ’cause it’d just seen red.

UTA’s live animal mascot was brought out to the football field Sunday ahead of the Sugar Bowl game between the two teams for what appeared to be a photo-op between Bevo and Uga. As Uga’s handler trotted out the pup, Bevo started charging everyone on the scene.

Luckily, Uga was pulled to safety, and no one seemed to be harmed in the incident. Bevo calmed down shortly after going wild, and its own handlers whisked the animal away.

Considering Bevo is at least 22 times heavier than little Uga … it’s a miracle the bull didn’t seriously hurt the doggo, or worse.

Is it me, or is taking a huge longhorn into a stadium with flashing lights and thousands of people and then getting them up close and personal with another animal really not the brightest thing to do? I mean… this isn’t a dog. It’s a farm animal. You can’t really expect it to act like anything more than a farm animal.

I mean… HECK. Even some dogs would act out in a situation like this.

But what do I know? I’m not a mascot handler.

For the first time, I’m glad my mascot is the “Hoosier.” We don’t have to trot frightened farm animals out for that one. We just get hammered at tailgates to show school spirit!
