DALLAS (AP) — Everything about Texas football seems broken right now.
The Longhorns are 1-4, off to their worst start since 1956 and coming off a humiliating 50-7 loss to TCU. The players were sniping at each other on social media earlier in this week. Now, Longhorns mascot Bevo the steer is critically ill.
It would be tough for it to get much worse for coach Charlie Strong's program, though losing the biggest rivalry game on the schedule would certainly push things in that direction.
Texas (1-4, 0-2 Big 12) faces No. 10 Oklahoma (4-0, 1-0) on Saturday in their annual grudge match at the Cotton Bowl. Longhorns fans must be feeling as if they have already eaten too much fried food at the Texas State fair watching their team play this season.
