Butt Bevo!!!! Before 1913, the UT football team was often called “varsity,” “Steers,” and occasionally “Longhorns.” That year UT benefactor H. J. Lutcher Stark donated a slew of blankets to the athletic department, each with the word “Longhorn” carefully stitched on the back. The name pleased students and athletes so much that they deemed it the official name of the UT football team and later presented the Longhorn steer as the team’s official mascot. UT athletes were already known as Longhorns when, in 1916, a maverick longhorn steer was brought to campus on a train from South Texas and introduced at halftime to a cheering football fans. The editor of the alumni magazine dubbed him Bevo, either after a near beer or by combining “beeve” (a plural form of “beef”) with “o.” UT has had more than a dozen Bevos. The Dog will round up that steer: doggydaddyuconn.blogspot.com/2023/11/doggys-uconn-at-texas-pregame-report.html

Damn. Texas is favored by -9.5. I didn’t expect that.
Well, I just hope the fans understand that we are indeed underdogs today. And a good performance is really what we should be hoping for. Similar to the Maryland game last season.

Similar to the Maryland game last season. Don't know why it's important what the odds makers say. I'm not looking for a good performance: I'm looking for and expecting a win!

Rory Harmon: An assist to turnover ratio of 7.5. Almost 6 steals a game by herself. They are 2nd in the nation in turnovers created. Lots of size. This could get ugly.
If we win today it will be an epic performance from supergirl.

South Carolina looked a bit more vulnerable this week. But these were solid road wins. And they really do seem to wear teams down by the 4th quarter.
But they do look more vulnerable. That’s true.

Just to say that, as we know, Chappy is taking some time off. That puts more on radylady and me to keep us all thinking about what we post in real time. It's natural to express frustration at poor play. But let's try to express criticisms as if our players--young amateur athletes--would read them. Thanks!!
