The painting was officially unveiled May 6 and 7, 2006, at a gallery called Art on 5th.[1] The work is oil on canvas. Following his usual practice, Otterstad completed the painting without the use of paint brushes. The painting consists of 15 separate images, each painted on a separate canvas and then stitched together to form a single work measuring approximately 5 feet high by 8 feet wide (1.52 by 2.44 metres). Each image features one moment from either the championship game or the ensuing Texas celebration.
Some figures from past Texas seasons are also included in the background, such as James Street handing off to Billy Dale which was a famous play from the 1969 championship.[2]Darrell Royal's face appears as a shadow behind the image of Mack Brown holding aloft the championship trophy.
