The legend, accepted by both schools for decades, claims that the name came about due to an prank led by students of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas.[9][10][11] It is true that in 1916, four Texas A&M Aggies kidnapped the longhorn and branded him with "13 - 0", the score of A&M's 1915 win over Texas.[9][12][11] Texas students are rumored to have retaliated by changing the steer's brand to Bevo. Bevo was fattened up and served at a football banquet in 1920, due to the fact the university did not have the money to take care of him and he was not tamed to roam the campus.[9][12] The Aggies were fed the side they had branded and presented with the hide, which still read Bevo.
