Journaling reads: The first bonfire was a pile of junk that students threw together and lit on fire to keep warm. As the years passed, the tradition evolved into an organized event to display school spirit against the school's arch-rivals, the University of Texas. Each year both schools played against each other in an annual football game on Thanksgiving weekend. The idea behind the bonfire was to symbolize the Aggies' "burning" desire to beat the "h*ll" out of t.u.. These photos are from our freshman bonfire. Jenny and I made our best effort to be a part of the whole process, from cut, to stack, to the bonfire. It was a unifying and unforgetable experience.
