Police say a dead longhorn cow was found on the lawn of an Oklahoma State University fraternity on Friday, the day before the school’s football team plays the University of Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 championship game.

Police were notified just after 6:30 a.m. of the dead animal on the lawn of FarmHouse fraternity, according to Stillwater police Officer TJ Low.

The carcass had an expletive carved into its side and the stomach was cut open, according to the campus newspaper, The O’Colly.

“It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship,” Low told The Oklahoman. “Nothing is worth doing that kind of crap.”

    I’m not making fun of anything. I thought it was ironic that you were so incensed about a cow when there seems to be bigger problems to tackle in the lone star state. Since this seems to be an issue of great emotional bearing to you, then so be it. Who am I to judge 🤷‍♂️

      It’s possible to be angry about more than one thing at a time, you know? There are a lot of Texans who are angry or depressed because of our legislature. This is just another thing to throw on the pile.

        Fair enough, that’s a valid critique and I know there are plenty of people in Texas who do not support the status quo. I also know the gerrymandering there is just insane as you said.
