I don't get this AT ALL.
The Oklahoma State mascot is "Pistol Pete":
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_Pete_(Oklahoma_State_University)
The Longhorn is the mascot for University of Texas at Austin:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Longhorns_football
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.
They (sensibly) don't have the balls to try to do it at UT's campus
Could be another frat messing with this frat.
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.)
I agree, they should have shot some guy named Pete with a pistol and dumped his body there instead of a longhorn.
They're showing Pistol Pete what happens if he shoots first and asks questions later.
