This argument for me is invalid because Texas A&M essentially held us hostage and demanded it be played then. Had it been out of their control I'd understand.
To be fair, A&M wanted Thursdays and LSU wanted Fridays, so the compromise was that when we played in CS, it would be on Thursday, and when we played in BTR, it would be on Fridays.
It didn't last long because I think the networks realized that the Thursday game between LSU/A&M didn't have the draw the A&M/Texas game did, and the networks wanted to move the Iron Bowl to Friday.
A&M/LSU is now played on Saturdays, and I'm ok with that.
ETA: I'm wrong about the Iron Bowl in Fridays. Derp.

I'm almost positive LSU did not want the Friday game. And the Iron Bowl hasn't been on a Friday since 2010 so I'm pretty sure there's something wrong there. As far as I know LSU made a big push to play it's home games on Saturday again which it has done in 2015 and 2017 (all the available games since dropping Arkansas as its end of year opponent).
