Gotta give some Texas love today.
Austin does what every good Texan fan/alum does when he hears "The Eyes of Texas" he hooks 'em.
"The Eyes of Texas" is the Alma Mater of the University of Texas at Austin and is sung to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad".
- The eyes of Texas are upon you,
- All the live long day.
- The eyes of Texas are upon you,
- You cannot get away.
- Do not think you can escape them,
- At night, or early in the morn'.
- The eyes of Texas are upon you,
- 'Till Gabriel blows his horn!
Its is also the Alma Mater of University of Texas El Paso,(UTEP) which was called also Texas College of Mines and Metallurgy (TCM). During the 1960's it was also know as Texas Western. If that rings a bell it should. The movie Glory Road is the story of Texas Western's historic win over the University of Kentucky in the 1966 NCAA National Basketball Championship.
FYI: Glory Road is the road that runs between UTEP's two basketball arenas.

And who says Jake hasn't been hooked.
