Serious answer:
Thats not done on campus anymore after it collapsed and killed 12 people. Theres a memorial to them.

Theres abunch of weird occult lore around the school. Basically theres a mythical figure called the 12th man, which embodies the spirit of the school.
The legend as I remember it, is that in tje old days of football the aggies had an injury, tje coach didnt have subs, and someone came down from the stands to fill in. Eg the 12th man.
On gamedays the 12th man is the audience who are as loud as possible for morale and to daze the enemy team. You can literally hear the stadium for miles.
It sort of evolved into a concept from there that someone is always willing to step in and be that little bit of extra support. Comradery. Unfortunately this has eroded over time.
This is why the bonfire accident killing specifically 12 people is so odd. The idea was to build it bigger every year, but in 1999 a cable snapped and the pile collapsed. The bonfire memorial is built with a ring that has 12 gates, each one memorializing a different student and facing their home town.
It used to be a prestigous place to go but as far as I can tell its become continued daycare for oil fund rich kids to stay insulated from "the woke poors" and to go drinking in college stations northgate district
Which is incredibly ironic given that "Farmers fight" is literally the endimg chant of the Spirit of Aggieland.

Also the entire football war hymn is a diss on Texas University because it "stole" that noscript since Texas A&M was there first :P
The two schools arent even in the same leauge anymore

The bonfire was a ritualistic burnimg of an outhouse with the University of Texas logo on it, and University of Texas students would try to light it early. Apparently one plan involved a small plane and incindiary charge.
Aggies will also call "longhorns" "tea-sips" as a slur xD
Although the aggie prank against the longhorns in 2014 was really funny tbh
