Silver Spurs and Bevo

 In 1937 the Silver Spurs were formed to take care of the Texas mascot. The organization did not have much to do for over a decade, as the team mascot was never defined. Currently, the Silver Spurs are very busy taking care of Bevo, who travels better than most students in a custom trailer driven by a custom truck. Bevo finds a home in the stadium at the game destination, and the Silver Spurs control him with long leather straps. This works most of the time but not all the time.
