STILLWATER, Okla. — A longhorn was found dead in front of a Oklahoma State fraternity house Friday morning, university officials confirmed to WFAA.

The carcass had an expletive carved into its side and the stomach was cut open, according to the campus newspaper, The O’Colly.
The incident comes a day before the Oklahoma State football team takes on the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington.
