The year of 2020 has been a wild one. From basketball tournaments being cancelled, baseball and softball as well. Not to mention it has been the most odd football season as well. From week to week no one is certain which football games will be played, cancelled or even postponed to a later day. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that we have another wild story. This one involved a former photographer suing Bevo. Well at least suing for an event that transpired during the 2018 All State Sugar Bowl.
During the meeting of the mascots, Bevo cleared everyone out of the area. The photographer Nick Wagner was one of those who had to move quickly. He is now asking for damages of between $200,000 and $1 million.

According to the report from Brian Davis of the Austin-American Statesman, the owners and handlers of Bevo are being sued according to the lawsuit filed in Travis County.
A former Austin American-Statesman photographer has filed a lawsuit against the owners and handlers of Bevo XV for negligence that caused “permanent injury” when the longhorn steer surged from his holding pen at the 2019 Sugar Bowl.
According to a petition filed in Travis Country district court in Texas on Friday, Nick Wagner was acting in his role as a Statesman photographer on Jan. 1, 2019. He was taking pictures of Uga X, Georgia’s bulldog mascot, prior to the Texas-Georgia game at the New Orleans Superdome.
