We can play the sips any time any day but not on thanksgiving weekend. They gave it up and should live with their punk decision not to play us when we originally left the big dumpster fire. LSU was kind enough to fit us in on rivalry week and while we haven't been particularly competitive, it's really grow into something special, especially after 74-72. I hope our admin doesn't screw up the good rivalry we started up with LSU.

I'd like to keep LSU on Thanksgiving weekend as well. No reason to change that.

If we're going to play them every year, let's do it right and renew the tradition the way it's supposed to be. Thanksgiving is the way to go.

This is about $$$, ags vs sips on Thanksgiving means $$$, just like sips vs ou in early October means $$$. The SEC just bought those marquee games, why would they not play then when most valueable? It would be like buying a bentley to drive to Walmart otherwise. This is about $$$$$$$$$$$$$

1) I wonder if OU wants to keep Bedlam. If not, t.u. and OU have the opportunity to move their game to Rivalry Week. We still play LSU.

2) Or, if they want to keep their game when and where it is, OU can keep Bedlam and we still play LSU. Then who does sip play on Rivalry Week? And who the hell cares?

3) We may not even be in their Pod, so we might play 'em only every other year.

4) We alternate sip/OU for Rivalry Week.

Multiple possibilities until we know about Bedlam, RRS and SEC scheduling decisions.

I don't think there's any way in hell that Texas & a&m don't play every year on thanksgiving.

Pretty simple if the Ags and the horns are in the same pod tu is season finale ; if the Ags and the corn dogs are in the same pod it is L$U for the finale.

Ou v tu have a contract to play at fair park not sure when it expires but unless that game goes home and home it won't be the season finale

I'm against playing tu in general, with that being said some of you are delusional that LSU is more of a rival than the whorns. If we play them again it should be on thanksgiving

Yes; we should play the horns the weekend after the OU game every season.

A&M Texas is one of the top 5 college rivalries. A&M LSU doesn't crack the top 100 college rivalries.

This won't be good for LSU. Early season games with A&M typically have a 12th man that is active and we usually play well when healthy earlier in the season. I think we will be beating LSU like we did in the 90s under this arrangement.

It used to be about $$$. With them in the same conference and with a conference network it doesn't benefit us monetarily except for when it is a home game and the benefit to businesses in BCS.

The ratings for one game don't benefit the conference, or the teams, with direct dollars. The ratings put money in ESPN's pocket, not ours.

From historical results, I would rather play LSU early before they have time to gel. They always seem to get stronger as the season progresses.

This times a million indeed. By the way, after we take 3 of the last 4 from them this year, LSU hate will flow and it will be a beautiful thing. Jimbo>>>>Coach O

I've come to prefer games on Saturday and Thanksgiving with my family. Stay with LSU.

I don't think any college game will be on Thanksgiving (except maybe the Egg Bowl). As for the Friday or Saturday after I expect it will be tu. I don't think LSU cares much about it although after recent some of the recent ruckus around our games with LSU the intensity has been increasing.

It doesn't matter if the game is played week 1, 3, 7, or 12, the $$$$$ is the same.


Regardless, I expect cow will now be our last game, LSU will end with Pig as they have done for many years, that is a trophy game after all.


The scheduling concessions we should be pushing for our Yes vote is that cow and t.u. are split home/road unlike how we play both Bama and Auburn home or away, and also IMHO the cow game should be on Saturday no T-day.

I don't understand why people don't know that. ESPN makes the money off of the ratings. Does nothing for the conference money as that is set by the contract.

I always thought the LSU game was way more fun earlier in the season, i didn't want it to move to Tday regardless of sip situation.

No, we don't. Play Texas every thanksgiving and kick their butt. That is only path for us now!

Exactly this. Plus the nfl has overtaken all of thanksgiving. And no to 11 am kickoffs t+1. Keep it on Saturday.

Key is not letting tu dictate their own schedule. They will want to keep OU game at the normal Oct timeframe and us on thanksgiving. If they have OU in their pod, they need to play them on Rivalry weekend.

We do not need to be playing LSU and Alabama back to back weekends because tu wants our game on Thanksgiving and OU on the historical date. They separate these games on purpose and to their advantage, not tradition.

Can't let them drive their schedule.
