<p>It wasn’t me. Honest.</p>
<p>Was it bedazzled? ;)</p>
<p>I saw that UT has painted it twice since. The first claiming that they are coming to take UA’s “swag”. Now it is professionally airbrushed with a trailer, Big Al and a giant twister coming. Tasteless and classless.</p>
<p>That rock gets painted every day, several times a day. It gets plenty of latex slapped on it by opposing schools, and somebody comes along before it’s dry and paints over it. Various campus groups paint it to promote their events. Kids paint it to declare their affection for a member of the opposite sex, or same sex, or bands, or professors.</p>
<p>No big deal. Really.</p>
