Longhorn Spurs
The Longhorn Spurs () form a high ridge, long, extending north from the Prince Olav Mountains of Antarctica between Massam Glacier and Barrett Glacier to the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. A series of rock spurs extend from the west side. The ridge was visited and so named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Party (1964–65) because of the resemblance of the spurs to the horns of longhorn cattle.
Cowboys as a student organization. Mike Perrin, a Cowboys alumnus, leased the cannon to the Spurs for five years at $1 annually with the hope to continue the tradition despite the Cowboys' removal. During this time, the Spurs fired Smokey and looked after Bevo at Longhorn football games. Upon the Cowboys' reinstatement in 2000, the Spurs returned Smokey.
In 2006, the Silver Spurs Alumni Association completed construction of the Silver Spurs Bevo Center. The museum commemorates Bevo throughout the history of the tradition and the organization
