Texas is visiting South Bend for the first time in 20 years in a highly anticipated opening weekend matchup against Notre Dame. Unfortunately, not everyone is making the trip.
The Longhorns’ mascot Bevo XIV tweeted on Thursday that because of Notre Dame Stadium’s no live mascot policy, the steer will not be joining the team.
Notre Dame has a no live mascot policy at their stadium – so I won’t be making the trip, but I’ll be there in spirit. #BeatND #HookEm

If Texas was going to be a man down Week 1, it may as well have been its mascot.
