Do we not play Oklahoma too?

---

No present SEC team plays both OU and Texas next year. They split them evenly for whatever reason.

---

So what does that mean for the following year with Texas? We get Oklahoma instead?

Sorry if it's clear as mud, I'm not seeing how all of it works. I assume there's 3-4 teams we play every year no matter what?

I will try and help
Currently the contract with the networks is for an 8 game conference schedule which will be a 1-7 scheme

Each team plays 1 team every year which for A&M is LSU Under the 1-7 over a four year period A&M would play every team in the conference 2 one home game one road game

The SEC is in talks to go to a 9 game schedule which would be a 3-6
Same 3 every year with the other six being set up that over a four year span We would play a home and home with every school

If it goes to 3-6 the rumor is A&M 3 games will be tu , LSU & MSU
tu's three games will be pig, OU and the Ags
If it stays at 1-7 the Tennessee Bama game will not be an annual event and the tu A&M will not be an annual event

SEC and the networks have some time to work out a deal because for year 2 the schedules would be the same but with home teams being different

Year 3 is when it gets interesting because games like tu A&M ; Tenn Bama & UGa v Auburn would not be played
If the conference went to 9 games for next year it would have required breaking the contract and buying out 1 OOC game for each team

Pretty sure the only thing driving all of this is TV money.

Would the networks like to be able to show A&M/tu every year or every 4 years?

There's your answer as to how the schedule will work out.

Thanks for that.

Let's hope for the 3-6 then. I'm sorry but LSU is not a rival, it's a made up rival. We need a true rivalry game every year and this is it.

I am looking forward to 3-6 also
The Ags are yet to host Georgia and still have not been to Lexington

Under both the 1-7 and the 3-6
Home and home with every team in a four year span
USCe is a game I do not get excited about

Search 3-6 in forum titles there are some very thorough threads about it

Going back to the first couple of years we played Mizzou In The season finale which really was disappointing

Arky traded with us We took USCe they got Mizzou and we got LSU as the season Finale
IMO the people that put that together did not want the tu game to come back as an end of year OOC rivalry game

Get the sips to drop ou as an annual game and we keep this date. I think the SEC wants 3-6 to keep games like Bama- Tenn and Auburn v Georgia. So they scheduled 2024 as if it's the last year of 8 conference games.

We could have a really good schedule next year with bye weeks before LSU and before hosting tu on Nov 30.

8/31. ND at home
9/7. Easy non conf at home
9/14. At Florida
9/21. Easy non conf at home
9/28. Ark at Dallas
10/5.
10/12
10/19. Bye?
10/26. LSU at home
11/2
11/9
11/16. Last non con at home
11/23. Bye?
11/30. tu at home.

Gotta fit Mizzu at home plus games at Miss State, at Auburn and at SC in the empty weeks or move the byes.

If they can't get something worked out The SEC can stay at 8 games and just reverse the 24 schedule and play the rivalry games that are not the designated annual rivalry game for one more season

So we lost our Georgia game, got the sips in the SEC, lost our rivalry weekend game with LSU, and replaced it with the sips. The SEC keeps screwing is over. What's with the sips' obsession with us anyway?

---

Another (better) way to look at it is we got rid of stupid divisions. We will now play GA (and all other SEC teams) on a more normal rotation and we now have a big rivalry game but still keep our lesser rival LSU.

---

tu hasn't been our rival for over 10 years. We've moved on.

Until you watch any A&M game in any sport on TV and see the entire crowd flashing horns down when we're not even playing Texas

I am okay with playing the sips during rivalry week. I hope they become our permanent rival for the last Saturday of the regular season.

BTHO tu!!!

This! The sips live rent-free in our heads because they are our rivals no matter what any Aggie tries to say otherwise.

Beat the Hell outta tu!!!

Here is a more complete list as all
Non conference games have been set for awhile but still missing a few games and off weeks.

8/31 Notre Dame
9/7 McNeese
9/14 at Florida
9/21 Bowling Green
9/28 v Arkansas (Arlington)
10/5 ?
10/12 ?
10/19 ?
10/26 LSU
11/2 ?
11/9 ?
11/16 New Mexico State
11/23 ?
11/30 t.u.

I sure hope we can take care of "?" since we play them so much. Ha!

Got to fit in 2 off weeks and at Auburn, at Mississippi State, at South Carolina and Missouri at home in those "?" slots somewhere.

Keep in mind TV usually swoops in by February and schedules the big national network games for the first few weeks (especially Labor Day weekend) and around Thanksgiving weekend, so do not be surprised if ND is moved to Saturday night, Sunday night or even Labor Day night, and t.u. game could get moved around as well.

All other TV times are set a couple of weeks prior to the game as usual.

As for demand for tickets and attendance for the t.u. game in late November, it may set the Kyle attendance record and secondary market price record, but fully expect it to be eclipsed once Georgia comes to town. They travel beyond well and will pay very high prices. I know many that already have plans to come once it does actually get on the schedule. Would not be surprised if 25,000-35,000 Georgia fans will come and try to get into that game as they did at Notre Dame a few years ago (and yes there were easily 25,000-30,000 Georgia fans in the stands for that one - ND fans are happier to sell their tickets to anyone). It obviously will be a big game for all Aggies too being their first ever trip to town. That one will be interesting.

This. Or our new coach PC where we saw off varsity's horns. Yep, we moved on.

You are correct that the first three weeks is scheduled early but iirc it's more like June than February

Given we have an ooc Cupcake the following week The ND game could be Sunday or Monday
- no nfl Labor Day weekend for those who don't follow scheduling closely

Would've rather kept LSU on Thanksgiving weekend, kept Bama on the schedule, and played tu every 4th September or so.

---

What's so magical about having LSU on Thanksgiving weekend??!! it's not a rival game and never will be. I'm glad we play tu every year, hopefully it will eventually be back on Thanksgiving day where it should be!

---

We don't know if we will play the sips every year or not. If we go with the 8 game, 7/1 schedule, we will not play them every year (only Oklahoma would play them every year). There is nothing sacred about playing LSU the final weekend, but, given the scheduling parameters, if they stick with the two models they have been talking about, playing Texas rather than LSU that weekend would require a lot of juggling.

I hope it's every other year and we keep LSU on rivalry weekend but tu will probably get whatever they want.

that is one brutal schedule, good lord

Texas game belongs on Thur/Fri/Sat Thanksgiving weekend!

Nothing

It's a one off schedule.

I would assume our schedule would be pretty salty in 2025 bc they gave us a nice one in 2024.

And we will be playing Texas every single year. Thats a given.

schedule release date?

The A&M- Texas game at Kyle next year will be the biggest crowd in the history of Kyle Field and will be the most sought after ticket in the history of A&M football.
The following year in Austin it will be the biggest crowd in the history of DKR stadium

A&M and LSU games in CS or Baton Rouge never drew the biggest crowds of season for either

I like the idea of A&M/Lsu around Halloween every year
