Episode Synopsis
Hey Reveille, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for November 17 through November 24. Let's get you set for the week—fast.
First up—the 25th anniversary of the 1999 bonfire collapse is this week. A remembrance ceremony is scheduled for 2:42 a.m. on Monday at the collapse site. It's a time to honor the 12 Aggies we lost and reflect on our community's resilience.
Next, the annual Elephant Walk is happening this week. This tradition symbolizes seniors' transition and the passing of the torch to juniors. It's a meaningful event that embodies the spirit of Aggieland.
Lastly, the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band continues to impress with their performances. Known as the largest military marching band in the U.S., their complex maneuvers are a must-see. Catch them at upcoming events and support our talented musicians.
What a weekend for Aggie football! Our No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies pulled off a historic comeback, overcoming a 27-point halftime deficit to defeat South Carolina 31-30. Quarterback Marcel Reed was on fire, throwing for 439 yards and three touchdowns. This win keeps our unbeaten streak alive and marks the largest comeback in school history. Looking ahead, we've got a home game against Samford on Saturday, November 22, at 11:00 a.m. Let's pack Kyle Field and keep the momentum going!
AggieCon, the oldest student-run multigenre convention in the U.S., is coming up. Hosted by Cepheid Variable, this event celebrates science fiction, fantasy, and horror with panels, art shows, and gaming. It's a great way to connect with fellow enthusiasts and dive into various fandoms.
On the dining front, the food truck lineup this week includes some campus favorites. Be sure to check out the rotating selection near the MSC for a quick and tasty meal between classes.
This week's forecast for College Station is looking warm and humid, with temperatures breaking records set in previous years. Expect highs in the upper 80s and lows in the 70s. There's a chance of thunderstorms midweek, so keep an umbrella handy. Stay hydrated and dress in layers to stay comfortable throughout the day.
Your move: Attend the remembrance ceremony for the 25th anniversary of the bonfire collapse on Monday at 2:42 a.m. It's a significant event that honors our Aggie family and history.
