Austin, Texas -- The longhorn steer, mascot of the University of Texas, lost its horns a week before the annual football grudge match between Texas and Texas A&M University.
Vandals apparently slipped into the university’s stadium and cut the horns off the portrait of a steer on a logotype painted on the artificial turf. Police found a razor blade and a pair of pliers on the running track that rims the field.
University officials said they believed the incident was connected to the rivalry between Texas and Texas A&M. The teams were scheduled to play last week.
