When the Texas Longhorns take the field for the Southeastern Conference Championship game on Saturday against the Georgia Bulldogs, one notable face will be missing.Longhorn mascot Bevo will not make the trip to Atlanta, conference spokesman Chuck Dunlap said."When we received the request for Bevo to be on the sideline in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, our staff looked at several alternatives including the sideline location," Dunlap said.
"We did identify several options for Bevo, including a location at SEC FanFare but there was no opportunity for him to be in the stadium due to space," Vincent said.The No. 5 Bulldogs are appearing in their fourth consecutive SEC Championship game and their 12th overall.
