Here are the important parts of the article (the rest has nothing to do with A&M vs LSU);

If Texas A&M wants to play football on Thanksgiving in future years, it appears as if the Aggies will have to find a new Week 13 opponent.
Last week at SEC spring meetings, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said the Tigers have no intention of playing their regular-season finale against A&M on the holiday.
The reasoning is pretty simple. Alleva said Thanksgiving is a day to hang out with the family.
"We're not playing on Thanksgiving," Alleva said.
Since the two teams became each other's Week 13 opponent starting in 2014, the game has been played on Thursday when A&M hosted at Kyle Field. In 2016, the Houston Chroniclereported the arrangement would no longer work because ESPN needed an annual series on Thanksgiving. The network settled on the Egg Bowl, the in-state rivalry between Mississippi and Mississippi State (which is one of the most heated contests in college football right now).
