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 don’t get this AT ALL.
The Oklahoma State mascot is “Pistol Pete”:

The Longhorn is the mascot for University of Texas at Austin:

So why would longhorns fans kill and dump a longhorn at the Oklahoma State campus?
I could see it if the Oklahoma State folks dumped a dead longhorn on the Texas campus, that would make sense from a “imma threaten you” point of view.
I could see the Texas folks taking a bunch of LIVE longhorns and letting them trample and crap all over the Oklahoma State campus, that would send a message.
It sounds like somebody has some bad fans who are just horribly, horribly confused.
This sounds more like an Oklahoma State frat sacrificed a longhorn than all those other ideas you said
I could see that too, but why dump it on their campus? Have a big ol’ longhorn cookout, THAT would make sense…
They are frat members. Nothing they do makes sense.
Bingo!
Maybe they are like Philly fans who riot if they win and riot if they lose?
Fuck me. Last year I was at OSU, we partied in the streets whether the Cowboys won or lost. That year we were singing, “Oh Ten and One! (to the tune of Oh Tenenbaum)” in the Eskimo Joes kitchen.
(The Cowboys were 0-10-1, if that wasn’t clear.)
They’re showing Pistol Pete what happens if he shoots first and asks questions later.
“It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship,” Low told The Oklahoman.
So it would have been less cruel if it had been a month earlier?
If everything’s bigger in Texas then everything’s crueler in Oklahoma
Sounds to me like it had nothing to do with Texas or the upcoming game and everyone is jumping to conclusions. It sounds more likely to have been done by another frat at the same university. It was dumped on the lawn of a frat called FarmHouse. I went to a high school that all the other schools referred to as “hick high” because we had an agriculture program (attended by maybe 20 people in a school of 3000). It’s something people like to pick on for some reason.
Looking around elsewhere it appears to be a part of an escalating ‘prank’ war between two frats with terrible timing
Nailed it
It was probably those Asian ticks tbh. They probably coincidentally carved the expletives into it when feeding.
Score is 49 to 21 atm. Fuck OK. Shit state, shittier school.
It’s funny that people think this is cruelty to animals, but they don’t think killing tens of millions of cattle a year for food is cruelty to animals.
Then there is the hundred of millions of pigs killed a year for food.
