SEC Bans Bevo from Texas vs. Georgia Championship Game
The SEC has decided that Bevo, the Texas Longhorns' live mascot, will not attend the SEC championship game against Georgia due to space limitations at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Despite efforts to find alternatives, the narrow sidelines and necessary equipment for the game make it unsafe for Bevo to be present. Meanwhile, Georgia's live mascot, Uga XI, will attend the game. Bevo will remain in Texas, continuing a tradition that began in 1916.
