Burn Trojan Burn!
Tonight was the annual Beat ‘SC Bonfire, held below the Janss steps. It was pretty impressive, actually. I belive two or three TV crews were there, one being CBS 2. That’s the only one I can remember. I think ABC was there two, but I didn’t see their news van. Anyway, the night started off with a brief cheer from the cheerleaders followed by the Mighty Bruin, played by the band. Then Bob Toledo and the football got up and said a few words. Brian Poli-Dixon was the funniest, saying that this Saturday “will be crackin’.” They even hinted at allowing the fans to storm the field, although I’m sure it’s not up to the Bruin football team, since the game is away.
The actual fire wasn’t that big, since the school follows fire sanctions. However, it did burn quickly and was overall a sight to behold. I’m sure it will be on the 11:00 news, which I plan on watching. If you didn’t go this year, definitely mark your calendar next year; it is a very cool event that is easy to miss.
