Aggie Traditions: Bonfire & Spirit

Texas A&M Universitys rich history is marked by unique traditions, including the iconic Gig em hand signal and the late-night Midnight Yell. One of the most significant traditions was the Aggie Bonfire, a massive bonfire built annually before the rivalry game against the University of Texas. However, a tragic collapse in 1999 led to its postponement and eventual move off campus. Despite this, other traditions like The Twelfth Man continue to thrive, symbolizing the deep-rooted pride and camaraderie among Texas A&M students.
