A lot of the original history of such things is both interesting and at times probably exaggerated.

Playing football circa 1900 sounds like a tough operation.
I agree with the exaggerated part, who knows what actually happened. The only absolute certainty about a UGA game against Auburn in 1892 is during the 4th quarter there was a large group of Georgia fans screaming "Run the damn ball, Bobo!"

I know several people that ranch, and have Longhorns.  Ain't nobody eating the Longhorns.

What do ranchers do with their Longhorns?  That's an expensive animal to maintain, they have to be good for something.  Leather products?

Also, why do so many restaurants put "Longhorn" in their name?  That would make sense in Austin, but not for chains or local joints elsewhere.  It certainly creates the perception they're good eatin'.

My observation is that very few ranchers , at least in these parts, even raise them. 
The ones that do are more for show.
