Bonfire Burn Night 2015: LIVE on TexAgs

November 20, 2015

In 2014 Bonfire burned bright once again — this time, not just for the thousands of Aggies in attendance, but for tens of thousands more across the world.

Indeed, last year TexAgs streamed Burn live to roughly 50,000 viewers across all 50 states and 52 different countries, connecting one of the most revered traditions in all of Aggieland to the Aggie Family at large for the first time since Student Bonfire assumed its current form.

This year we intend to do the same, with an added bonus. Beginning at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 24, TexAgs Radio host Gabe Bock '03 and Student Bonfire Board of Directors member Dion Mcinnis '03 will broadcast live from Stack Site in the leadup to 'dark thirty' — when the stack is lit.

The pre-show will feature a litany of guests with profound and well-known connections to the fire, including former Texas A&M football coach Jackie Sherrill, former player Brian Gamble (of the Bonfire Game legend), a 12th Man Kickoff Team member, Red Pots of past generations and current Senior Red Pot and Head Stack Kenneth Searl.

After Burn begins, the proceedings will continue to be live-streamed until roughly midnight.

Visit TexAgs.com/LIVE on the night of Burn to view the show and the stream.

To see an extensive collection of images from this year's Cut, Load and Stack, take a look at Dion's Bonfire photo galleries.

Please join us in bringing the Aggie Family together to celebrate the burning passion we each have in our heart for Texas A&M.

Gig 'em, Happy Thanksgiving and BTHO LSU!

Gabe, Looch and crew,

You guys are sometimes maligned and sometime applauded - this is one of those time to put our hands together.

As an Ag who attended my first bonfires on Duncan field (and with a few nights of stack during push) I applaud you guys for providing the live stream!

Thank you and Gig 'Em!!

This is great! I watched last year and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for bringing us one of my favorite traditions.

I am curious about the event being called "Student Bonfire." Are the organizers prohibited from calling it "Aggie Bonfire"?

Yes. The university has a (state-level) trademark on the word "Aggie" and doesn't let SB use it.

With Bonfire broadcasting live to the world, we are going to be firm with the start time. In the past, we would delay to allow late arrivals the opportunity to get in in time for lighting. There won't be delays this year, regardless of how many cars are lined up to get in. Arrive early and enjoy one of our many vendors, grab a shirt, take pictures around Stack, share good bull stories.

At 8:30, Burn Night will officially begin with Burn Night speaker Brian Gamble. Do not plan on arriving at 8 and catching the start.

VERY disappointing. Do the students have to put a shroud on the appropriately marked "Aggie Bonfire" trailer?

No. They used to cover up the aTm logo on it, but they don't anymore.

Is the stream live? It doesn't seem to be working on Android mobile.

Pretty sad that there are more posts and threads about Manziel than Bonfire.

Everybody around for Unity Project knows how instrumental Dion was and obviously continues to be. I'm curious if Luke still has any involvement? He was the driving force behind keeping the fire burning (at least in my eyes at the time). Would love to hear from him & have him get the credit due.
