I-mascot yezemidlalo eNyuvesi yaseTexas ibizwa ngegama elithi Bevo, i-longhorn steer eyabonakala kuqala ngo-1916. Yisizathu sokukhala kwempondo yesikole esithi "hook".
I-steer efanayo ayilona i-mascot kuze kube phakade, yebo. U-Bevo XV wenza i-début yakhe yomphakathi ekuqaleni komdlalo we-Notre Dame ngoSeptemba 4, 2016. Abasandeli babike ngokucasuka ukuthi izimpondo kwi-longhorn zazifushane kakhulu kunabaseBevos esedlule.
Lapho i-1 100-pound steer yaqala ukubusa njenge-mascot, wayeneminyaka engu-19 nje kuphela. Usenesikhathi esanele sokukhula izimpondo ezihlaba umxhwele.
Umlando Nemikhuba
Kusukela ngo-1945, uBevo uye waletha umdlalo ngamunye webhola le-UT yi-Silver Spurs, iqembu lokuhlonipha kanye nenkonzo elibandakanya abafundi base-University of Texas. UBevo naye uhambele imibuthano emikhulu neminye imicimbi, njengemikhosi emva kokuqeda iziqu. I-Bevos embalwa yokuqala yayinobudlova; abanye abantu abathweswe icala futhi baqhekekile. Kodwa-ke, ukufakelwa kakhudlwana kweBevo kuye kwanyiswa ukuba kube nokuthula futhi kujwayele ukuguquka njengoba behlezi noma bemi eceleni kweYunivesithi yaseTexas football games.
Ngaphambi kweBevo, i-University of Texas 'mascot yayiyiPig, inkunzi yenkomo. UStephen Pinckney, owayengumfundi we-UT, wafika nomqondo wokuba ne-longhorn njenge-mascot. Wabutha imali kwabanye abafana, wathenga umphathi, wamqamba ngokuthi uBo, wamthumela e- Austin .
Iziqalo Ezimangalisayo Zegama
Ukubukeka kokuqala kukaBo bekukhona emdlalweni wonyaka we-Thanksgiving webhola phakathi kweYunivesithi yaseTexas neTexas A & M University ngo-1916. UBen Dyer, owayengumhleli weMagazini ka-UT, i-Alcalde , ubizwa ngokuthi uBevo ngemuva komdlalo, nakuba kungekho oqiniseka kungani.
Kukhona umlando oyinhloko wokuthi uBevo wathola kanjani igama lakhe.
Ngo-1915, i-Texas A & M ishaya iT in the game football, 13 kuya zero. Ngonyaka olandelayo, i-Texas Longhorns ishaya i-A & M. Ngemuva komdlalo, abafundi be-A & M badonsela i-prank ngokufaka uphawu lokuphumelela kwabo ngo-13-0 ngo-1915 ku-steer. Leyo ngxenye iqinisile.
Ingxenye yendaba eyavezwa kamuva ukuthi ayiyiqiniso ihamba ngale ndlela elandelayo: Ukuze kuvikelwe amahloni, abafundi be-UT baphinde bafaka igama le-longhorn ngokushintsha izinombolo zibe yi-BEVO, ngaleyo ndlela baqamba kabusha i-mascot. Akukho bufakazi balokhu, futhi ngokusho kwesikhathi, lokhu bekuyokwenzeka ngemuva kokuba uDyer eseyibize ngokuthi uBevo. Kungakabiphi emva kwalokho, uBevo waba yindleko kakhulu ukuba iNyuvesi yaseTexas ilondoloze, ngakho wagxila, wahlatshwa futhi wadliwa ngo-1920. Ithimba le-A & M lihanjiswe eceleni kwe-steer bese linikeza lesi sifihla, esasine-13-0 kuso. U-Bevo uphinde wabuyela emuva kamuva njenge-mascot esemthethweni futhi uselokhu ewuphawu oluthandekayo lwezemidlalo ze-UT kusukela ngaleso sikhathi.
