Bonfire is a tradition.  So it getting cancelled wouldn't surprise me in the least.

What do we need a bonfire for? if you want to watch something burn just keep following the football program:

Guys and gals, don't get your panties in a wad; it's not like any of those student orgs wanted to do this. The leader of the Talons even stated, "hell, late's just take the misdemeanor".

Read the article. Everyone involved is pissed.

The season & off-season have been epic failures. Playing off your Star Wars stuff from the podcast.. Is Jeffery Wilison our only hope? Is he the type of guy that can be a program changer?

“Our biggest goal is to find some way to encourage all the students and alumni to come on out to the bonfire and celebrate UNT,” said Daniel Suda, the coordinator for campus-wide events and traditions. “But also understand the bonfire isn’t happening, so we want to have a fun alternative to the original plan.”

Best of Luck dragging people out there to do nothing........Ponder High School had a Homecoming Bonfire last weekend with no ticket issued so please tell me how a much more controlled burn situation would be cut down? Surrounded by Concrete?....Check, Next to a body of water?.....Check, Its rained recently?.....Check

[Withers940]

A fire is a fire during a burn ban if I am correct. If some Tom, Dick or Harry was burning leafs in a garbage can during a ban, its still a ticket.

 

One is in the middle of nowhere surrounded by grass and the other is in the City of Denton surrounded by concrete. See the difference Ryan??

Strange isn't it... to have a burn ban 19 days after receiving an inch and a half of rain?

I think it is McNulty's Idea!! He wants to drain the spirit out of the MEAN GREEN populous, not just our will to live

AND we burn it right next to a pond 

[James329]

It's ridiculous. If the university doesn't have enough power to force an exception take the damn misdemeanor. Hard to believe this would happen anywhere else.

[Withers940]

You think the Aggies during the Time they did the bonfire ever had to worry about a burn ban?

[Withers940]

F THA POLICE!!!

Am I right?

Sorry But NO,

You might be thinking Fire Marshal

Just make sure that they have a fire truck there and water down the grass. It's a huge event, with a lot of hands on deck. Not a couple of rednecks burning a couch in their backyard. 

I guarantee you A&M would never be told this...

I believe the Fire Marshall can grant an exception to the burn ban if an application is made and a fire truck is on the scene. 

If we aren't trying to get an exemption, it is strictly because of give up. 

[Censored by Laurie]

do we have any supporters with any sort of fire containment/extinguishing expertise? 

[Green P1]

So THIS is the stand someone finally takes against burning down our athletic program???

[CMJ]

I remember when Bonfire was cancelled for drought in 2000, it was like the first time in over 50 years one had been.  This is about the 4th or 5th time since.

Not sure if serious...

Actually UNT could tell the Denton Fire Marshall to pound sand since it is on State Property, but of course the feckless administration wants to play nice with the city for some unknown reason. City refuses to work with UNT so F' them

Just looked up on the Denton County Website and the burn ban has been in effect since the beginning of August. Denton has had 3" of rain and we just got rain today about 1/4". I think if they talked to the Denton County Fire Marshal, he would let them do it since this is a controlled fire
