Missouri and Kansas need to suck it up and play each other that week until the end of time.

Arkansas vs LSU is just a no-brainer. Not as high profile as the rest of the rivalry week games but there is a precedent, and no other good options.

I’m going to miss ending the year with LSU tremendously but obviously our final game has to be TX. Hope we can keep LSU in November at least.

I’m down for the 2nd weekend of November after they play Alabama every year if that’s what it takes

If this happens then the Aggies better eat thanksgiving dinner in the morning because they won't feel much like eating later.

Hate to break this to you, but if you still want the OSU game it won't be around Thanksgiving. That will be a divisional game.

We play Arkansas that weekend.

More than likely OU will get the kU treatment and OSU will refuse to play them in all sports because they are leaving the conference.

Thanksgiving is Thursday the last week of the season. UK plays UofL then. Why would OU not play OK State that week?

Vols play Vandy that weekend now. It used to be Beer Barrel weekend, but thanks to you sumbitches and Mizzou the SEC scheduling got redone, now we play Louisville last instead of Tennessee. Used to always begin season with Birds and finish with Vols.

They need to move Arkansas vs LSU back to that weekend.

We can play Mizzou at another time in the year.

Didn’t y’all just start playing them during thanksgiving week a few years ago though? I thought y’all always played Tennessee for the last game until a few years ago

I will be very much surprised if Okie Lite plays Oklahoma. They can't compete now and the divide between the two will only grow wider. If state is smart, they will save face by bowing out and keeping their mouth shut.

Georgia plays fricking Georgia Tech every year for rivalry week so I don’t want to hear it. It’s good for the sport and good for the state of Georgia.

You’ll play Okie State and like it, Sooner.

I get what you are saying, but Ark/Mizzou do actually have a game. So the only team looking for a game is LSU.

To me the solution is to see if Mizzou/Kansas can resume and that would allow “The Boot” game to be pushed to that weekend. Because if OU/OSU is going to continue to play then there should be no reason Mizzou/Kansas can’t resume

Other than that, something tells me the team that probably will get kinda screwed here might be Mizzou. Their games just mean less to ESPN when it comes to ratings.

I want to play OSU thanksgiving, keep things more local to balance the entire season schedule plus we dont want to listen to them say they would win if we played... ut vs aTm debate has been insufferable

The point of the post was to point out someone (missouri, Arkansas or LSU) may be stuck playing a small in state school on thanksgiving because you would then have an odd number (5) playing OOC games on thanksgiving
