The saga of Bevo’s postseason sideline appearances has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride, leaving Longhorns fans on edge. After being sidelined for two of Texas’ last three games due to space limitations at Mercedes-Benz Stadium—first during the SEC Championship against Georgia and later at the Peach Bowl against Arizona State—the beloved live longhorn mascot is finally returning to action!
Get ready, because Bevo is heading to AT&T Stadium for the College Football Playoff semifinal showdown between Texas and Ohio State on January 10. This time, there’s plenty of sideline space to accommodate the big guy, much to the delight of Texas fans!
The Longhorns will face off against the Buckeyes at 6:30 p.m., with a ticket to the national championship on the line. Texas is fresh off an exhilarating double-overtime victory over Arizona State, while Ohio State has bulldozed through Tennessee and Oregon. But if Texas makes it to the national title game, Bevo’s presence on the sidelines could be short-lived again. The final game of the College Football Playoff will be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, which means Bevo may face another ban due to space constraints.
It’s shaping up to be an unforgettable postseason, and Bevo’s return is just the beginning!
