About 900 students gathered on Johnson Field on Thursday night for the burning of NMSU's mascot during Red Rally. The event was a pep rally for the football game against NMSU. Matt Maez, ASUNM's Lobo Spirit Committee co-director, set the Aggie ablaze. "A burning Aggie - that's what I like to see," said student Joel Garcia. Student Jessica Buckmaster said it took too long to light the bonfire, but she still enjoyed the event."I think they should set more things on fire," she said.
