It hurts Texas and helps A&M to have the game on TDay but that's not a Daddy issue. It's just a reality of recruiting in Texas. Texas is the one that has promoted the TDay game as their game and even got the B12 to go along with allowing them to always play at home. For A&M to play a bigger game on the same day minimizes them and helps us in recruiting.

More than that though, Aggies like to play football on Thanksgiving. That's what we have done or tried to do for a very long time. Having a TDay tailgate of turkey and watching the Cowboy game is just what we do.

That's great. Should have done it with someone else then. Our AD really is spineless.

That's fine. I've no issue with your traditions. Just force them on someone else.

How does a thanksgiving day game that sees them winning and you losing help in you recruiting?
