Really wish the school would revisit their policy on an official bonfire. I honestly think that permitting this tradition to go on would be the most appropriate way to honor their memories

Honestly, that memorial is an appropriate honor. It's pretty powerful in detail describing the bonfire tradition, the importance, and those who were injured. I think this might be one tradition A&M should let go. IMO, it represents the game against Texas, or should I say tu? I think it should maybe only be revisited if A&M ever plays Texas again. Whether its an OOC game or bowl game, then and maybe only then. That would make it a little more special. But that's only my opinion and LSU ain't worthy of the bonfire.

I went to bonfire in '89. What I can remember of it, it was pretty fun.

This. I listened to a caller on TexAgs today suggest that it could be brought back on campus if every participant signed a waiver, and I know he meant well but he just didn't get it. Waivers or not, to me this just isn't something to continue after 12 kids were killed - and I lived and breathed bonfire. The teamwork and ridiculous hours required to build that sumbitch for me pretty much defined my time at A&M. But I can't imagine looking any of those families in the face and saying, "Yeah, we think it would be a good idea to bring it back."
