Only a bigot like you would see a burning cross where an outhouse is.

That is pretty damn awesome.

Can't tell what the sign on the top says.

Seems a little hollow though without playing Texas as the original purpose was to symbolize a "burning desire to BTHO t.u." (in Aggie speak).

I love that the student continue to do this and I think all the ways they honor the students who died in '99 is really great heartwarming stuff. We give the Ags a lot of shite but their love for tradition and honoring the past and those who came before is second to none.

Looks awesome. The article I read said it was 40’ tall.

Is it just off campus or quite a ways away? I think I’d like to attend one of the lightings one day to see it in person

Thanks for the info Ags

We use to put an outhouse on top and call it a tu frat house. Idk what’s up there now. Looks like a Baton Rouge sign. Maybe we just transfers the joke to y’all.

Don’t pay attention to that putz.

The bonfire is very cool tradition. I bet it would be amazing to see in person.

Not authentic. You're supposed to write it on the inside with saltpeter so that it shows when it burns.

It is indeed an outhouse.

Here we go... "LSU LITTER BOX" (not bad)

I found a couple pics on The Battalion's website:

There is a group that tries to keep it going and it has occurred for sometime now. The University, listening to its legal advisors and insurers, go to great lengths to keep it completely separate from the school.
Your shite school screwed survivors and the dead's families by refusing to properly pay damages and rigging corrupt Texas courts against their suits.

They need to save that box. It would be a helluva good deer stand.
