If Texas is going to wrap up a bid to the Big 12 title game, it will have to do it without its biggest supporter. Bevo XV, the famed Texas mascot, won’t be on the field for Friday’s game against Kansas because the Jayhawks have a rule prohibiting live mascots. Bevo will miss the action for a Thanksgiving week game for just the second time in 73 years, according to the school.

Hager turned around and said, “Hey, OU has no defense.” Hager then stopped again, pointed to a nearby clock and added: “Wait, wait — it’s 11:12 and what? OU still sucks.”
