Where is our old Longhorn

Cougar Football

being mauled by a Cougar ? I always liked that piece when it stood in the old UC .Our Admin took it away years ago supposedly to refinish it and make it water proof .
We should place it near the main entrance of TDECU.
Go Coogs…BBQ BEVO !

UPDATE:
I exchanged emails with our Chancelor, Madam Khator. She checked and graciously responded that the sculpture requires major repair. It is currently in storage. Further,I shared my hope that it would come back for our 100th anniversary.
So now we know ,

I actually wondered about this myself. Expected it to show up in the new UC, but still nothing.

I loved that sculpture…

I think they removed it but never reinstalled it on campus which is a shame

I attended UH when the UC opened. The Cougar/Bevo statue was a sensation!

Definitely should still be on campus, somewhere.

Really want to fire up the fanbase should have bbq a whole bovine with the fixins. before game time and fed all in attendance, for free

I think the Alumni Association could do that . Feed the live Cougar the leftover bones!
It will be a long time before we play them again. I am amazed we got them into our stadium as we all know they hate being there,Bleacher Gate not withstanding !

Speaking of, if you guys where at school between 88-92, and saw giant letters in the Architecture building windows, that spelled out B E A T U T, when we played UT, that was me and the free Houston Chronicle newsprint they used to give us. You’re welcome.

That’s it ! I love that old sculpture because it says so much. I can’t believe it has been 13+ years. I truly hope we can see it displayed again. Perhaps as previously stated, part of our 100th anniversary celebration.
Go Coogs!
