AUSTIN, Texas -- A photographer is suing the owners and handlers of Texas' live mascot for negligence, saying he suffered permanent neck and back injuries when the longhorn steer charged out of its pen and plowed into several people at the 2019 Sugar Bowl.
Nick Wagner, who was then a photographer for the Austin American-Statesman, filed a petition Friday in Travis Country district court, the newspaper reported.
According to the petition, Wagner was on one knee shooting photos of Georgia's English bulldog mascot, Uga X, before the Texas-Georgia game at the New Orleans Superdome on Jan.
