You Dastardly Red Raider!

This is an outrage! Some dastardly Red Raider has somehow stuck a Texas Tech logo in the address bar for my blog. I just found out this is called a "favicon." I wish I was more tech savvy so I could correct this grave injustice. In lieu, I'll just have to sing "The Eyes of Texas."

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!


And for good measure:

Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
And it's goodbye to A&M.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
And we'll put over one more win.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
For it's Texas that we love best.
Hail, Hail, The gang's all here,
And it's good-bye to all the rest!

Yea Orange! Yea White!
Yea Longhorns! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Texas Fight! Texas Fight,
Yea Texas Fight!
Texas Fight! Texas Fight,
Yea Texas Fight!

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
For it's Texas that we love best.
Hail, Hail, The gang's all here,
And it's good-bye to all the rest!



Though of course I've never heard anybody actually sing the "Hail, Hail, The gang's all here..." Most often it's "Give 'em Hell, Give 'em Hell, go, Horns, go!" Or if you're among the students, "Give 'em Hell, Give 'em Hell, Make 'em eat shit!" Or the one that's sung with the most vim and vigor, "Give 'em Hell, Give 'em Hell, OU SUCKS!"

So I tried to fix it. I made an icon, but I can't upload it to blogger because they don't accept .ico files. So I went to googlepages, but I have to have a gmail account. Frankly, it all started to seem like too much work, especially since I don't know if anybody else even sees the TT logo. One of the help topics made it sound like it's probably a problem on the local machine, i.e. my machine. Why would my computer suddenly wish it were in Lubbock? Oh well. Hook 'Em!
