Back in 1992, coach Jackie Sherrill had a bull brought to the Mississippi State football practice field and then had it castrated in front of the team as a form of motivation for their upcoming game against the University of Texas. Even though the act itself was somewhat extreme, it worked, and the Bulldogs crushed the Longhorns 28-10 sending a message of what happens to Longhorns at Mississippi State.
The media soon got a hold of the story, and when they asked Coach Sherrill why he did it, he stated it was for educational and motivational purposes. Obviously he was referring to the football team because I am sure the DAMN BULL wasn’t very happy about the situation.
