I don't like this. thanksgiving is a NFL day. wish it was on Friday, would have a lot better TV ratings

agreed. I don't mind necessarily but with the NFL now playing a night game on Thursday it doesn't really make any sense.

If I were picking, we'd schedule it Friday prime time in both locations. It does need to be a night game imo.

But playing on that day is tradition, and that means a ton.


But playing who is a tradition? Definitely not LSU on Thanksgiving day. How about all of the A&M games in Baton Rouge be at night then? That's one of our traditions.

Mike Slive cajoled LSU into playing the Ags on Thanksgiving in 2014.

I do not care for LSU fball games to be played anytime on Thanksgiving, anywhere. I hope LSU sticks to its guns and does NOT agree to play on Tgiving at A&M unless it is a 14 playing date season like 2014.

And a rivalry with A&M? That is laughable.

I know that aTm fans like this, but how do the LSU fans feel about playing on Thanksgiving Day?

reading the A&M boards now. I'd say it's about 80/20 against playing on Tday any longer. The problem is that the 20 is probably the only people that matter (ie, old frickers with juice)

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.

Friday makes more sense from a logistical standpoint, but the head to head this year will probably make me love it forever.

Yeah, I picked up on that. The part of my post you quoted was followed by "but seriously" indicating the forgoing text was also in jest.

150000 @ Kyle! REK halftime concert! Aggy playing to become bowl eligible! Might be almost as good as those Egg Bowls on Thanksgiving night.

Playing tu on Thanksgiving Day is the tradition, not playing LSU on Thanksgiving. We should let playing on Turkey Day die with the tu rivalry.

I think we should play LSU on the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Friday would be best, that's when LSU always played their Super Bowl against Arkansas.
