Nostalgia: When Bevo was barbecue, and other trials of Texas' most famous longhorn
-Jim Weber runs the college football and men’s basketball site LostLettermen.com. This week, he looks at the early trials of Bevo, introduced to Texas on Thanksgiving 1916, ahead of Thursday night's rivalry showdown between the Longhorns and Texas A&M in Austin.
-There isn't a fan base more proud of its school or more in love with its mascot than the faithful from the University of Texas. Longhorn fans stay true to their school by traveling en masse to road games, decking themselves head to toe in burnt orange and obsessively lashing the "Hook 'em Horns."
And they show their affection for the live longhorn mascot, Bevo, with endless merchandise that ranges from golf head covers to Halloween costumes, as well as a student group, the Silver Spurs, whose sole purpose is the care and transport of the 2,000-pound steer. These days, he's treated like royalty while taking in games from the field.

It wasn't Helen's fault. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena gave her to Paris as payment for judging them in a beauty contest. How do you say "no" to one God, never mind three? That poor woman. All she ever did was look better than every other (mortal) female on the planet.

She could have simply thrown herself off the walls of Troy, and the guys could have just gone back to their pizza and beer and football.
Uhm,....watered wine, fish, olives, and ,....uhm,...more "moderate" scale warfare,...( to early for the Olympics. ) But I like Bevo more,....I think Helen was a pest.
Zeus would have liked Bevo. Hmmmm,.....the team would probably ended up having to sacrifice Bevo to Zeus though......Hard to win with gods.
