10 Years

The 10th anniversary of the Bonfire collapse is Wednesday, Nov 18th at 242 am...

it feels like yesterday. I recall that call in the middle of the night...what??... the shock.. wondering how this could have happened. That was the night, that for MANY (aggies) everything changed.

10 years later, we still build and burn a Bonfire ( off campus) and are close to getting it moved back to campus.

10 years later, we remember our friends and fallen fellow students..

10 years later, we haven't forgotten ...They said we couldn't have Bonfire on campus 10 years ago.. and people said it was over..
O NO NO NO.. we Aggies do not give up..
we still have Bonfire.. it's NOT on Campus.. but it burns still.. We will do most anything to keep our traditions alive..
we Do it for the Fallen..
to REMEMBER them..
to Honor them..
we will not Forget...
that morning.. sitting on logs..watching the sun come up and staring at a mangled pile that represented the heart & soul of Aggie pride.
We were, gasping.. it was the single worst night in aTm history ever..
The famous Werecking Crew ( football team) came down from their dorms, and moved logs.. trying to find students..
We learned. We build it .. Better now.
For those of you that don't understand and like to talk about what we should and should not do... well, this is all this Aggie has to say...
" Unless you are an Aggie, then shut up & get the hell oughta my house".. period. No one knows.. no one knows, unless you were there.. unless you stood on stacks.. unless you are one of us..
