Police say a dead longhorn cow was found on the lawn of an Oklahoma State University fraternity on Friday, the day before the school’s football team plays the University of Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 championship game.

Police were notified just after 6:30 a.m. of the dead animal on the lawn of FarmHouse fraternity, according to Stillwater police Officer TJ Low.

The carcass had an expletive carved into its side and the stomach was cut open, according to the campus newspaper, The O’Colly.

“It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship,” Low told The Oklahoman. “Nothing is worth doing that kind of crap.”

    Imagine killing an animal because of a college sports rivalry, and not thinking there was anything wrong with that.

        Texan? You mean the school that had their mascot killed? You’re insinuating Texans killed their own school’s mascot on the lawn of an Oklahoma State University fraternity.

        This was a prank done by a rival OSU fraternity to an agricultural fraternity. The close proximity to a championship with Texas I’d wager is an unfortunate coincidence.
