Lighting the bonfire has been a Texas A&M tradition since 1907.
However, the celebration used to take place before the Aggies’ traditional Thanksgiving game against rival Texas.
Since those two teams no longer play each other every year, the Aggies have a new Thanksgiving rival — LSU.
On Wednesday night, Texas A&M students lit the giant bonfire, kicking off the holiday celebrations.
The Aggies host the Tigers at 6:30 p.m. Central time. The game can be seen on ESPN.
