Bevo Francis

[P. Fanning]

I bought a book about Francis in a thrift store last year that was really good. His college coach was a bit of an opportunist that used Bevo. Having said that, Bevo kept Rio Grande afloat and he put up some great numbers against top level schools as Bevo was an attraction, I believe they played a few games at Madison Square Garden. He reminded me a lot of Kelly Coleman.

Today. Rio Grande competes in the NAIA in the River States Conference with another tiny school, Alice Lloyd College.

The guy in line stayed at a gym at Rio Grande college. A plaque on the gym said the info about Bevo he also said Bob Evans either lived there or started his restaurant chain there. He said this town was an absolute hole in the wall. This happened about 30 40 years ago. Just thought as a basketball site it would be interesting to know about Bevo. How could you not like Bevo. I have never heard anyone called Bevo.

The Texas Longhorn mascot's name is BEVO.

Go Big Blue!!!
