Do you have a link that states the bye week stipulation? I don't remember that being part of it. I thought the agreement was the years it is played in College Station, it'll be on Thursday, and the years it is played in Baton Rouge it'll be on either Friday or Saturday.
from the rant that was after an ESPNBR interview. He said it in an email to TAF members too I think, but I deleted the email

He also said that the only reason that he agreed to play A&M on Thanksgiving is because LSU would have a bye week immediately before and he wouldn't agree to play on Thanksgiving for years where that wasn't the case.

That is just LSU's AD getting leverage against the REC. He knows we are Slive's pet project now and this is the only way he can get leverage for LSU. Congrats, the wand will be waved and yall will get the bye week before Thanksgiving every year.
Kinda sad LSU has to use us as leverage though.
