Arky-Mizzou to end the season could be good as the states border each other.


Agreed...Arky and Mizzou need to play each other as their finale....

Very surprised that LSU would agree/want another forced rivalry and agreed to having a tougher opponent as there last game.

You still don't get it, do you?

LSU doesn't have any say as to their conference schedule. The Iron Bowl got moved into LSU/Arky's game slot for a couple years until Saban whined and cried about it, then they switched back. But I guess it's not 'whining' when it's effective.

Apparently LSU just has to play whomever, whenever - and schedule bye weeks whenever - Slive, as told by Saban, says.

I say, frick it , whatever, bring 'em on.

I really hope not. I want to make a game at Kyle Field at some point, and Thanksgiving weekend will make it very tough. I want to keep Arky there. I want to see all SEC stadiums, but Kyle much, much more than Razorback Stadium



Agree. I'm heading to Baton Rouge this year and hope to make future games. Thanksgiving would hurt that IMO.

For what it's worth I do not think it will be on Thanksgiving because of the NFL taking more interest on that day. So I think we're safe.

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

ANY night game is preferable, even on Thanksgiving Night. Start a new tradition. Spend TG day on campus, have your feast at your tailgate and then go to the game at night! Much better than the Friday or Saturday afternoon BS that most LSU'ers hate.

Don't worry about us little Aggie. We'll be just fine.

LSU provided A&M with a more than suitable replacement opponent, therefore the terms of the contract were met by both parties.

Oh, and...

Final Score: USL 29 - A&M 22.

To be fair, no one at the time knew that the Cajun QB would go on to play in a Superbowl, and that one of their receivers would still be playing in the NFL today.

...but if I remember right, it was that crazy Cajun D that won the game.

As for the Eggbowl being played on T.giving nite, everything I hear is that both are lobbying the league & ESPN to make that game a holiday fixture. Mite boil down to the network, who will have a lot to say in it, wanting the Tigers vs the aggies over the dawgs & black bears for ratings. Hope not.

I hope it is on Saturday. But it won't be the end of the world if it gets put on T-day

Tupac had been shot the day or so before and our team was distraught

Seriously, I've heard this before

Don't you know that one of our players in that game said it was because Tupac died that day?

If Boozoo Chavis had died that day instead we would've won 50-0

CBS is entitled to a game on T+1 per the contract. But there were hints CBS may drop that in favor of an early season game now that they've lost the US Open.

Last I heard Egg Bowl on T-day, A&M-LSU on T+1 potentially in prime time slot on ESPN. If so I think we'll all be happy.

Better than closing the season with fricking Arkansas so I would be down for this.
