Texas is blocking Texas A&M\u2019s mascot, Reveille X, from appearing on the sideline at Friday\u2019s rivalry game in Austin, matching A&M\u2019s decision last season to keep Bevo XV out of Kyle Field.<\/p>\n
The announcement comes as both schools finalize gameday plans for the renewed Lone Star Showdown, one of college football\u2019s oldest and most intense rivalries.<\/p>\n
Texas officials cited limited sideline space as the reason for the restriction \u2014 the same explanation A&M used in 2024 when Bevo was not permitted on their field. The move has drawn attention from fans who view it as the latest symbolic exchange between the two programs, particularly as the rivalry continues to regain steam after its long hiatus.<\/p>\n
Reveille, the collie that serves as Texas A&M\u2019s live mascot, has been a fixture at Aggie games for decades, just as Bevo has at Texas. Despite the absence of A&M\u2019s mascot, the Longhorns say all other traditional game elements will proceed as planned as the two teams meet again in one of the season\u2019s most anticipated matchups.<\/p>\n
