There’s no love lost between Bevo and Uga.
Prior to the 2019 Sugar Bowl between the Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs, a little mascot meetup was arranged. Innocuous enough, right?
Well, that meetup turned into a dustup.
Bevo, a steer, didn’t appear to take kindly to Uga, an English bulldog.
Well, the Sugar Bowl just got a lot more interesting …pic.twitter.com/jFtBvIpdCx

You can see another angle of the fiasco here.
It didn’t take long for Twitter to react to Bevo seeing red (literally), with many folks lauding Uga’s ability to read the blitz.
Great read UGA. Read the blitz and got away from the pressure.
Wish my wolverines could do this

You put a small bulldog in red, in the pen area with a longhorn bull; and expected a sweet picture?..really? You do realize how much he weighs and what are on the ends of those horns, right? Well folks, more proof that you can’t fix stupid. #BevoFights

There’s that classic Big 12 defense right there.

The good news is that Uga is fine, but the point remains that this seemed like a really, really bad idea from the start.
Bevo’s energy certainly translated to the gridiron though, as the Longhorns jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
