Will be surprised if it doesn't simply occupy the exact slot that LSU-Arkansas is currently in on Friday.

Mizzou-Arkansas likely gets the SEC Network Saturday 11AM slot.

I'm all for the aTm game back on the schedule just wish they didn't screw it up by slotting it on Thanksgiving. I'd much prefer they leave as a Saturday game.

Only A&M fans are saying it will be on Thanksgiving, only because were used to that. Will be shocked if its actually on Thanksgiving.

I have no problem with the game if it is on Saturday. LSU has never liked the Friday game, but the SEC office screws us every year but two. They once put the Iron Bowl on Friday, but Nick Saban cried and the Birmingham Boys did their thing.

For me, Thursday night, Friday Night, or Saturday night are preferable to any option...NIGHT game is the key

Apart from a few on here, I think you'll find that most Arkansas fans are pretty un-rustled about this in general.

And most think a "rivalry" with Mizzou is kinda silly.

Its a downgrade for sure.

This topic has rustled Arky jimmies since its inception--and for good reason.. It's yet another indictment of the Arkansas Razorback football program.

New kid comes in and immediately snatches your featured game? Are you kidding me?

K.

There's been very little discussion or GAF about it on Arkansas boards that I've seen. Virtually none. Many see moving LSU to Fayetteville as the first step to finally getting rid of LR games.

I know you Aggies have to take anything you can to claim superiority over us or anybody outside Baylor. I'd throw in Texas Tech, but that series is pretty tight.

Get one with it, since 41-25 won't be evened in your lifetime.

If there's any anger, its that Mizzou does nothing for us as an opponent. Not a lot of GAF there. I wouldn't care if we never played them.

I think you will learn to love the Thanksgiving night matchup.

It was a great family tradition for us against Texas.

When it's away...normal Thanksgiving, then the entire family gets to watch a great game Thanksgiving night instead of normal boring family holiday crap.

When it's at home, we do family Thankgiving at the tailgate, which obviously is much better than normal boring family lunch.

What's not to like?

They are never happy. Happiness is not a part of Aggie tradition.

Like I said yesterday, this game will be an all out blood feud in due time. As soon as A&M beats us a couple of times its gonna get nasty like it was in the 90's. I'm fricking pumped about this. I hope its on Friday and not Thanksgiving day but if it is oh well. Battles over recruits, tons of LSU alumni in Texas, last game of the season....this series is about to get epic.

When this happens it will be devastating. Playing Mizzou on ESPN the Ocho at some obscure hour that weekend will hurt the last big recruiting exposure we enjoy each year. LSU and A&M have too much power and too large of an alumni footprint for us to overcome it. sucks


quote:

It pisses me off that TAMU has been here one season and now they are stealing our slot. That's just wrong. I hope slive catches herpes.


quote:

if this happens, then TAMU will quickly become my most hated team. the battle of the boot has been my favorite game as long as I can remember, with the exception of when we play texas. at this point I hope we be the snot out of TAMU until the become eternally irrelevant, and Slive realizes how stupid he was for messing with tradition.


quote:

Unless Mizzou can consistently finish in the Top 15 year-in-year-out and CBS/ESPN adds our game as a doubleheader with the LSU/A&M game, then yes, imo, it is huge. That Friday was all ours...it was LSU/Ark day for what, 15 out of the past 16 years or so? Moving the game to another day just makes it another game. I think it's a big deal.

Hogville is almost as bad as TexAgs. You should be banned just for linking that board.

Hang out there more often and then come back and tell us how calm and rational and not one step away from a nervous breakdown they actually are at all times.
