Isn't it BEVO?

BEVO is the name of the University of Texas mascot.

The most-told legend says that back in 1916, either in retaliation over a humiliating loss to UT or in an act of pre-game bravado, Texas A&M branded a Texas Longhorn with 13-0, the score of a previous A&M victory. In a perfect example of turning lemons to lemonade, UT rebranded the Longhorn. 13 became B. The hyphen became an E. A V was added then the zero remained as O.
BEVO was born.

The current Bevo is fourteenth in the line of longhorns that have been the university's mascot. The shape of the Longhorn's head gives rise to the schools hand symbol and saying, Hook 'em Horns. He has been called "the toughest-looking animal mascot in sports.

Bevo XIV, the currently serving Bevo, was originally named Sunrise Studly.[3] He was also born on Sunrise Ranch and he is also a champion steer.[3] He attended George W. Bush's second inauguration in January 2005. Bevo XIV attended the 2005 Rose Bowl win over Michigan as well as the 2006 Rose Bowl game that gave the Longhorns the 2005-2006 National Championship win over USC.

Bevo makes appearances at all home football games of the University of Texas, as well as many away games. He also typically makes appearances at important pep rallies, such as the ones in the weeks before the games against Texas A&M and the University of Oklahoma. Following commencement ceremonies, he is typically on hand for photographs with graduates and their families.

Since 1945, the care of Bevo during his transportation and appearances has been entrusted to an honorary organization of undergraduate students called the Silver Spurs. Bevo rides in a special burnt orange livestock trailer with his name on the side.

During football games, he typically stands or sits placidly behind one of the end zones (the south end zone in Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium) and is occasionally greeted by UT players when they score touchdowns. Contrary to popular belief, Bevo is never drugged, but is chosen for his trainability and experience in exposure to loud situations. He is riled only in the most extreme of circumstances, such as once during a lightning storm during a game against Rice University, in which he broke away from his handlers and charged at the opposition team's bench.
