The Texas Longhorns will be singing “The Eyes of Texas” for a long time, it seems.
On Thursday, the UT System Board of Regents said in a statement that the song will remain the university’s official school song. “To be clear, the UT System Board of Regents stands unequivocally and unanimously in support of President Hartzell’s announcement that The Eyes of Texas is, and will remain, the official school song,” Chairman Kevin Eltife said in a statement. “The Eyes of Texas has been UT Austin’s official school song for almost 120 years,” Eltife said in his statement.
