Texas A&I Javelinas Fight Song - "Jalisco"

"Hey Lisco" (Jalisco) - A New Fight Song for Texas A&I As told by Raul Garza by Adan 'Jr.' Alvarez from the book, The Best of Texas A&I Athletics by Dr. L. E. Ramey The birth of 'Jalisco' the unofficial fight song of the Texas A&I Javelinas, started at a game in the football stadium of San Marcos, TX in 1944.* The Javelinas were taking a beating by the Southwest Texas State Bobcats. In the stands with the Texas A&I Band with me were the following: R.S. 'Cookie' Garza, David Gamboa, Sonny Earnst, and Manuel 'Meme' Guerra. I told the guys, "Let's bring these people back to life! Who wants to play 'Jalisco No Te Rajes'(Jalisco Don't Give Up!)" Cookie started; we four picked up the tempo. Then the student body and the Javelina Fans in the stands started clapping and singing. As a result, the Javelinas also picked up the tempo on the football field. Texas A&I defeated the Bobcats that night. After the game, as the Javelina Band was filing out of the stands, one of our players passed by and shouted, "Hey guys, that 'Hey Lisco' was great. It pumped us up and helped us win the game!" After that game, the Javelina Band played 'Jalisco' at every game. I do not know if 'Jalisco' ever became the official 'Hoggies' fight song or not. Looking back at Texas A&I Land, the local University band has been playing 'Jalisco' for a period of about 62 years now. *It has been brought to my attention that the date 1944 may be too early. A&I did not resume intercollegiate competition until 1945 after it was suspended. In 1942 because of WWII, Cookie was a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy assigned to the Marines in Saipan and other parts of the Pacific Theater. Cookie did not get back until after WWII. Incidently, Cookie was a great fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas A&I Javelinas. Cookie and the late Tom Landry both attended Mission High School in the Rio Grande Valley. They kept in touch for many years. "Jalisco" as performed by The Pride of South Texas Marching Band Ay, Jalisco, Jalisco Jalisco tu tienes Tu novia Que es Guadalajara. Muchacha bonita La perla mas rara De todo Jalisco Es mi Guadalajara. Ay Jalisco no te rajes Me sale del alma Gritar con calor. Abrir todo el pecho Pa' echar este grito Que lindo es Jalisco, Palabra de honor. "LEADERS OF THE PACK" (Javelinas Sculpture) The Javelinas sculpture is the most recent addition to the A&I tradition. It was first proposed in 1964 when campus organizations asked that a sculpture be created and be placed in the circle at Santa Gertrudis and University Boulevard. Coach Steinke presented the College with the first check toward the creation of such a statue. However, it was not until 1986, when Dr. Eliseo Torres, himself a graduate of A&I, commissioned the bronze statue by an A&I art graduate named Armando Hinojosa of Laredo, Texas. The Texas A&I Alumni Association™ raised more than $70,000 for the statue. The statue called "Leaders of the Pack," was unveiled February 14, 1986, as a Texas Sesquicentennial event and as a part of the Conner Museum exhibit entitled "Armando Hinojosa: A 20 Year Retrospective."
