Red Rally showcases school spirit before NMSU game

If you missed Zozobra or Burning Man, then you’re in luck.

The University of New Mexico has a similar tradition during its 12th annual Red Rally Bonfire and Pep Rally, hosted by ASUNM’s Lobo Spirit Committee.

This year’s rally begins at 8 p.m. Thursday on Johnson Field and will feature UNM’s Spirit Squad, Marching Band, members of the UNM football team and, of course, a 25-foot tall Aggie effigy to be burned to prep before the NMSU-UNM game.

The fire is expected to start around 8:30 p.m. after players and coaches speak and the marching band performs the fight song.
