The whole desire is to stick it to Texas. They don't care about anything else. Think of who you are dealing with here.

Actually, Aggies care about a lot of other things but this does hurt our primary recruiting rival. A&M goes up against Texas in recruiting in a big way and Texas has tried to sell their TDay game as a reason to go there. For A&M to play a bigger TDay game helps A&M while hurting Texas and thus helps our recruiting.

We realize the Piggies are mad we took their TDay weekend game, DWI. As for LSU, frick you and maybe this makes you hate us a little more which is better for a rivalry anyway.

well we certainly don't dislike you for any on-field reasons so i guess if they are going to develop this rivalry it will have to be with little things like this

Umkay. Scheduling the LSU game on Thanksgiving when given the choice has nothing at all to do with Texas.

We're all buying that one.
