Mascot: The horned frogs His name is SuperFrog!

Why the horned frog? Some say that Horned Frogs was chosen because the football practice field was overrun with the small, spiny lizards. Their primary diet is 80-to-100 red harvester ants per day. The typical Horned Frog is three-to-five inches long. When angered or frightened, Horned Frogs can squirt a fine, four-foot-stream of blood from their eyes. The Horned Frog was named the State Reptile of Texas in 1992.
