"The Matador Song", which dates from 1930, is the school song of the Texas Tech University Red Raiders.

History

The song was created as part of a contest sponsored by the school newspaper, then known as The Toreador. R.C. Marshall, the editor of the 1931 La Ventana was chosen as the winner and given a $25 prize.^[1] In the next year, Goin' Band Director Harry LeMaire rewrote the music to the song.^[2] Aside from that, it has remained unchanged since its creation.^[3] Despite Texas Tech adopting the Red Raider as its mascot in 1936, the song continues to refer to the original Matador mascot.
