The Aggie Bonfire was a long-standing annual tradition at Texas A&M University as part of the college rivalry with the University of Texas at Austin. For 90 years, Texas A&M students—known as Aggies—built a bonfire on campus each autumn, known to the Aggie community simply as "Bonfire". The event symbolized Aggie students' "burning desire to beat the hell outta t.u.", a derogatory nickname for the University of Texas.

  • 农校篝火(Aggie Bonfire)是德州农工大学的一项长久存在的校园传统,同时也是该校与德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的大学竞争的一部分。九十年来,德州农工学生,也称Aggies,每年秋季都在校园里搭建篝火。农校社区将其简称为“篝火”("Bonfire")。这个每年秋季举行的项目标志着农校学生的“痛打德大(t.u.)的强烈欲望”,而德大(t.u.)是德州农工大学对德克萨斯大学(University of Texas,简称实为UT)的贬称。篝火传统上在感恩节前后点燃,与每年和大学橄榄球比赛相关的节日合并举行。 虽然早期的篝火不过是燃烧成堆的垃圾,但随着时间推移,年度项目变得有组织。多年后的篝火已经尺寸巨大,并在1969年创造了世界纪录。几十年来,篝火一直是蓬勃的大学传统,直到1999年,建造过程中的坍塌造成了12个人死亡(11个在校学生和1个校友)和27个人受伤。 这次事故导致德州农工大学宣布中止官方性的篝火。自2002年,一个学生發起的联盟,本着前人的精神,开始自行搭建未许可的校外“学生篝火”(Student Bonfire)。 (zh)
