A&M can only carry Arkansas so much. You had the crazy FSU/NCSU game going on as well and the Texas game was on at the same time which split up some of the casual fans in Texas. FWIW though they actually broke away from the Texas game in Austin to show the end of the A&M/Arkie game just to show how far Texas has fallen.

Arkie had huge sections of the stadium unfilled and apparently large numbers of hillbillies forgot to pay their electric bill so they only had 27 actual viewers of the game.

On the A&M side there was a rash of Dad's that were coaching their son's Pop Warner football game and had to DVR it. I fell in that category myself.

The primary reason was definitely FSU and NC St, but in addition to the secondary reasons listed a large part of our fanbase was getting drunk on Dickson St as part of the Bikes Blues and BBQ motorcycle rally.
