Reveille X banned in Austin, after Bevo disrespected by aggy last year

Well, bully for you. Bullying small animals and denying children’s moments with a beautiful dog sounds like the script you are performing. Maybe E2 needs to get Rev certified as an emotional support dog just iso we can deal with the stress of being in DKR and possibly having water bottles thrown at us. We need to get our people working on that.

I actually like Reveille. And y’all sing about Bevo in half of your aggy songs, so I would have expected Bevo to have been welcomed at Kyle Field last year, instead of being dishonored…

If y’all built a special Pen of Honor for Bevo at Kyle Field for the 2026 game as a goodwill gesture, I’m sure our upper administrations could work this standoff out…

frick that one eyed bitch.
Texas maybe should revive Pig Bellmont, the original mascot as an addition for aggy game. Take that aggy sloot behind the bleachers and she'd get a bone of her own, American Pit style.


The original mascot of the University of Texas was a tan and white American Pit Bull Terrier named Pig Bellmont, born in Houston on February 10, 1914.
He was brought to Austin by L. Theo Bellmont, the university’s first athletic director and a co-founder of the Southwest Athletic Conference.
Pig quickly became a beloved fixture on campus, roaming freely and attending sporting events, classrooms, and even military cadet training sessions during World War I.
He was named in honor of Gus “Pig” Dittmar, a Texas football player known for his bowlegged running style and nickname derived from moving “like a greased pig” on the field.
The dog’s loyalty to the university was legendary, with reports noting he would snarl at the mention of Texas A&M and bark with joy when Texas was mentioned.
Pig served as the unofficial mascot for the varsity football team from 1914 to 1923, becoming a symbol of school spirit before the introduction of the longhorn steer Bevo.
His death on January 5, 1923, after being struck by a Model T, prompted a large funeral procession with over 1,000 mourners, a eulogy by the dean of engineering, and a memorial marker with the inscription “Pig’s Dead, Dog Gone”.
Today, a marker near the Graduate School of Business commemorates his legacy.

It won’t help tomorrow.

I guess so. Some how a dog just doesn't seem to measure up to the Texas Constitution of 1876 that a "university of the first class" be established as soon as possible.

One eyed Lassie may be acceptable for lessor colleges, not so much to represent the original and only "University of Texas".

Pretty sure nothing compares to branding him 13-0 and Texas having to name him Bevo to cover it up! Texas apparently still has not recovered from it.

Don't know if the SEC has come to this conclusion yet after 13 years of aggy. The aggy will repeat something a couple of times and it becomes true.

The claim that Bevo's name originated from Texas A&M students branding the score "13-0" on the steer in February 1917, which was then altered by Texas students to spell "BEVO," is a widely circulated myth that has been debunked by historical evidence.
The name "Bevo" was first used in print in the December 1916 issue of the University of Texas alumni magazine, The Alcalde, where editor Ben Dyer referred to the steer as "Bevo" during a halftime presentation at a football game.
This predates the alleged branding incident by nearly a year, proving the name was established before the prank occurred.

Furthermore, archival research by Jim Nicar and others found no evidence that the brand was ever altered to spell "BEVO".
The hide from the original Bevo, which still bore the "13-0" brand, was presented to Texas A&M after the steer was barbecued in 1920, confirming that the brand remained unchanged.
The name "Bevo" is more plausibly derived from the slang term "beeve," meaning a cow or steer destined for beef, combined with the common nickname suffix "-o" popular in early 20th-century American culture, possibly influenced by comic strips like those by Gus Mager.
Another theory suggests a connection to the non-alcoholic malt beverage "Bevo" launched by Anheuser-Busch in 1916, though its limited distribution in Austin makes this link unlikely.

Therefore, the branding story is not true in terms of the name's origin, although the branding incident itself did occur.
The name "Bevo" was already in use before the branding, and the alteration of the brand to spell "BEVO" did not create the name.

Well, that's weak (and I don't even drink)....

Like I said, still not recovered from the trauma.

The Allstate commercial also showed how unsafe it is even at their own stadium!
