I gotta say, I do miss "Bonfar," for the term conjures up for me some of the most miserable and some of the most enjoyable moments of my college days ... nay, of my life.
I fondly remember the way everyone seemed to rally around the fallen Aggies through Texas, even those whose horns needed sawing off.
I appreciate the memorial erected on the campus in their honor, but I hope someday there will be another bonfire at Texas A&M in their honor, to signify student dedication to the school and our burning desire to BTHO t.u.
As we learned as fish in the Corps of Cadets:
"Before the football game with t.u. each year, Aggies gather wood and timber to build a huge Bonfire which symbolizes the burning desire to beat the HELL outta t.u., and the undying spirit that all Aggies have for Texas A&M."That burning desire has never wavered, but I hope one day to take my kids to experience its expression through the biggest intentional fire on the planet.
