Visions from the Matador Song

These eight mosaics represent glimpses of Texas Tech football
throughout the years. Some of these are visions of fleeting
moments such as a touchdown catch to win a monumental
victory. Other glimpses are timeless, such as the 1925 team
football portrait mosaic, the Masked Rider image, and the
Matador Song. The artist portrays Tech’s traditions and emotions
of glorious victories and heart wrenching defeat as a moment in
time. This piece creates a permanent visual inspiration for past,
current, and future Red Raiders.
