TV ratings when LSU is involved are pretty bad. Heard this was the main reason it was moved to Saturday.

Football means more to folks in Texas.
It’s all good.
I’m just pleased that the series has been renewed.

Maybe y'all have lost 8 in a row and the result is a foregone conclusion?

It's because LSU fans have turkey eatin', beer drinkin', and sister frickin' to do on that day.

No, those game ratings were okay. It's overall as a draw for televised games. CBS has LSU as the #27th ranked college team for drawing viewers.

Unless LSU is playing Bama, Florida, Georgia, A&M, etc... the ratings are in the toilet. Other teams are carrying the ratings as shown in the CBS rankings. Pretty obvious when Cotton Bowl selected A&M over LSU to play OU. TV ratings were through the roof.

I don't mean anything bad by it, it is just what the CBS rankings show. Half the time LSU fans can't stay past the end of the 3rd cause they can barely stomach watching. It's okay.

Where is this CBS link? Y'all still hanging on tight to the Johnny Manziel era?

Yep, still living in the Manziel era. All two years of it. Both novelties wore off quickly.

Don’t mind him.
That’s just Randy Dee.
He harbors a bit of a preoccupation with the Ags; it’s driven him mad.
Best to just nod and move on.

because we realized forcing yall to play on thanksgiving, while hilarious to watch your fanbase melt every other year, was really disappointing because yall arent the kind of name program like texas is so there was no anticipation for us on that night. so we then allowed the game to go back to saturday

Well yeah. It's been 23 years since A&M has won. No one wants to watch a game when they know the outcome.

Remind me again, doesn't the 2006 Rose Bowl still play on a constant loop on ESPN-Jefferson Pilot...I mean the longhorn network?
