Before the 1941 game, a group also attempted to hex the Aggies with a bonfire, similar in structure to the Aggie Bonfire. However, there was not sufficient lumber to build one as large, and student interest was lacking. UT Bonfire eventually died out in the mid-1980s. The physics department at the university decided to build an iron candle-like torch as a replacement, which is lit each year at the rally. Copied from article Hex Rally. In 1986 members from the college committee created the spirits and traditions board. the board's underlining mission was to create a stronger sense of community at a large university.
