Historical Article on Bevo

[HornSports Staff]

Randolph Duke put together an incredible article on the history of Bevo. This is a must-read! His Name is Bevo! Long May He Reign! - Horn Sports - Texas Longhorns football, basketball and baseball - Horn Sports – Texas Longhorns football, basketball and baseball

I wanted to put together a comprehensive piece on the subject of the UT mascots and include things such as 'Varsity, how we became "the Longhorns" and to tell of UT hosting the "West Point of the Air" (made up of actual military cadets, not fake ones).

Jim Nicar was a historian with the Texas Exes for over 20 years. He was the first I know of to totally debunk the aggys story about baing involved with the naming of Bevo. Check out his website if you get a chance. His insight while putting this together was quite helpful.

There should be a few bits of new information in the article for most of the fanbase. I hope everyone enjoys. Hook 'em!
