When it comes to school mascots, the Longhorns are definitely one of the coolest and toughest-sounding ones out there. The most famous Longhorns are from the University of Texas at Austin, where their mascot is a real-life Texas longhorn steer named Bevo 🐂. Bevo is a massive, imposing figure with those iconic burnt orange and white colors, which inspired the school's color scheme. But here's a fun fact: the Longhorns mascot isn't just Bevo; there's also Hook 'em, a more agile mascot version who steps in when Bevo's huge horns can't fit into every space. While the University of Texas at Austin is the most well-known, several other schools also adopt the Longhorns as their mascot, making it a popular choice across different states. In Nebraska, it's particularly popular, adding a touch of rugged Texas spirit to the heartland. So, next time you hear someone say "Hook 'em Horns," you'll know it's more than just a phrase – it's a symbol of pride and strength. 🏆
