Texas Longhorns’ Beloved Mascot Bevo XV Will Not Attend Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl
The Texas Longhorns’ beloved mascot Bevo XV will not be making the trip to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in the next round of the College Football Playoff as the team plays Arizona State. According to a statement from Peach Bowl organizers, Bevo will not be on the sidelines of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta due to safety concerns and logistical constraints.
“We love all of the great traditions of college football and no doubt Bevo is one of the best, but the unfortunate reality is there simply is not enough room on the sidelines,” the statement read. “With the constraints of the stadium and prioritizing the safety of Bevo, the players, all the network cameras, support staff, cheerleaders, and photographers, we unfortunately will not be able to have Bevo on the field at the CFP Quarterfinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.”
Bevo has a history of getting into mischief, including a previous incident where it broke through a barricade at the Sugar Bowl and nearly trampled Georgia’s mascot Uga.
