On Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2020 Student Bonfire held their annual Burn Night five days before the Aggie football team is set to kickoff against the LSU Tigers. Following a reading of “The Last Corps Trip,” the 2020 Bonfire was set ablaze. During the burn, students had a Yell Practice and enjoyed seeing all of their hard work pay off.
The 2020 Bonfire is topped with a “LSU Tiger Litter Box.”
