PHOTO: Arkansas mascot sends recently retired Bevo going-away present

Tusk the mascot wasn't going to let the Arkansas-Texas rivalry stop him from sending fellow mascot Bevo a retirement gift this week. Upon hearing the diagnosis of cancer, forcing Bevo to an early retirement, Tusk sent this gift to the Longhorn mascot:

Thank you @Tusk_UA for the retirement gift. Very kind of you to think of me. Best of luck the rest of the season pic.twitter.com/bnTKCEsuOn

Texas announced the retirement of Bevo XIV Tuesday after 11 years of serving as the team's mascot.

The Arkansas-Texas rivalry dates back to 1903, with the Longhorns currently holding a 56-22 edge in the series.
