Texas fans were horrified by an ESPN report Friday afternoon that a dead longhorn was found at an Oklahoma State fraternity. The Longhorn is the mascot for Texas, the team Oklahoma State will play in the Big 12 Championship on Saturday.
Per the report, the cow was found on the lawn at an OSU fraternity:
Police say a dead longhorn cow was found on the lawn of an Oklahoma State fraternity Friday, the day before the Cowboys football team plays Texas in the Big 12 championship game.
Police were notified just after 6:30 a.m. of the dead animal on the lawn of Farmhouse fraternity, according to Stillwater police officer TJ Low.
The carcass had an expletive carved into its side and the stomach was cut open, according to the campus newspaper, The O’Colly.
“It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship,” Low told The Oklahoman. “Nothing is worth doing that kind of crap.”
OSU released a statement on X following the report:
“OSU is appalled at the disturbing display of animal cruelty that occurred overnight at an off-campus location near a fraternity house. The Stillwater PD is investigating the incident, and the university’s Office of Student Support and Conduct has initiated an investigation.
Oklahoma State expects all students to adhere to university codes of conduct, and appropriate action will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation.”

Killing a Longhorn 2 days before the game isn’t coincidence, there will be revenge.

I found a drive-by video taken this morning and this “joke” was anything but funny. I think they need to muck sheds and the parlor by hand at the dairy for the remainder of their time at OSU. 🤬🤬🤬

Finally make it to the champ game and don’t know what to do with yourselves 💀

I hate to think of it this way but that dead Longhorn will be motivation for this Texas team.
A hallmark of a winning program is always finding an edge, a grudge, an animosity to motivate players on an already winning team.
Kirby Smart and Nick Saban are masters at this.

If you think this cow was already dead you know nothing about cattle or how to butcher them properly. You don't kill a longhorn by slicing open its stomach. This steer had a horrible painful death.

That's absolutely disgusting that people would do that because of a football game.
