TINSLEY. POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING AFTER A LONG HORNED STEER WAS FOUND DEAD ON THE LAWN OF AN OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY FRATERNITY HOUSE. THE DISCOVERY MADE JUST ONE DAY AHEAD OF THE SCHOOL’S MATCH UP AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. THE TWO TEAMS PLAY TOMORROW IN THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP AT AT&T

STADIUM. SO FAR, POLICE IN STILLWATER HAVEN’T SAID WHETHER THE CRIME IS AT ALL CONNECTED TO THE GAME. FOX FOUR’S BLAKE HANSEN HAS THE LATEST. BLAKE YEAH, CLARICE BEFORE PEOPLE WATCH OUR STORY, WE HAVE BLURRED PARTS OF THE IMAGE. BUT WANT TO WARN THAT IT STILL MIGHT BE DISTURBING TO SOME. TONIGHT

POLICE STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHOEVER DID THIS. A CRIME THAT THE UNIVERSITY CALLS APPALLING. THE DISCOVERY HAPPENED FRIDAY MORNING OUTSIDE THE FARMHOUSE FRATERNITY OFF THE OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. THE LONGHORN WAS NOT ONLY DEAD, BUT HAD A CUT ACROSS ITS TORSO, THOUGH IT ALSO HAD AN EXPLICIT PHRASE DIRECTED AT FARMHOUSE
