It's so obvious what ABC is doing...at Michigan, at Vandy, at Arkansas all 11am games. We all know that home field advantage for 11am kick offs are cut in half. ABC/ESPN will make the 11am kick off happen to increase the sips chances of winning.
I will bet the ranch that sip game will be 11am kick off

What are the other "big" games that day?
OU/OK State?
Florida/FSU?
It'll be interesting to see. I bet it gets the night game slot

Don't think they put us up against OU/Mich
Literally not possible.
Doubtful they put a rivalry game that includes a top 3 team at the 11 am slot at the end of the season

You know what time the OU/Mich game is every single year, right?
Pretty sure our game will be the 6PM ABC game.
ESPN forced this stupidity. They better make money off of it to fund the increase to pay us. I hope we make the Fire Marshall deny entry to the SROs because there are 75,000 SRO tickets sold…

Doubtful they put two of these games at 11
Plus, it's in the afternoon/night flex window, so it was never going to be at 11 anyway.

I will take this bet.
Thanks for the ranch!
they don't look at it… but basketball is home that night 6:30…
i'd bet A&M tu is the mid afternoon ABC game

It doesn't matter- we gonna beat the hell outta 'sip!!!

They can move the bball game to mid afternoon.
I was thinking the same thing: a night game at Kyle Field definitely gives the Aggies a home-field advantage.maroongoon95 said:

We have only played six home night games against the teasippers, and our record is 5-1, with wins in 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, and 1993.
Since joining the Big 12, all our games against them have been during the day, except for a night game in 2010 (away) and another in 2011 (which I'd rather not discuss).
Not sure if you are serious or not, but basketball is playing in Las Vegas that day, they are not at home.
oh i was being serious… guess i forgot those games were out in Vegas
This is the stuff that I just say cmon man to. No, ABC if any pro Texas any more than they are pro Bama, UGA, etc. They want viewership. Typically they put best game for that at 6:30 PM. The next at 2:30 and next at. 11am.
Are you saying you believe Tex/Ark produce more eyes than UGA/Tenn? Even LSU/UF rivalry? Now skip ahead to Tgiving week. What better matchup than Aggies/Tex? There isn't one. So it will be 6:30.

You do realize that they've already announced it is a flex game between 230 and 7 pm kick right?
What's the value of your ranch? Do you have Venmo?
Wow some of you guys are some tin foil hat wearing people 
Proud father of an Aggie undergrad!
Op doesn't even have a ranch. Maybe he meant ranch dressing.

First of all, the Michigan game was on Fox and believe it or not…11am is the prime time spot for the Big Ten (Big Noon Kickoff is what it's called).
Second of all, Vanderbilt and Arkansas can't move the needle anywhere near what A&M vs Texas will do. It will be a top ten matchup most likely with a trip to Atlanta on the line…it will be prime time on ABC without a doubt

Basketball would
Move their game before football gave one thought to a schedule conflict with basketball games

About 1/2 of Texags.
OP misspoke - it is not his ranch, but his 1950s ranch style house.
Class of '95 is thinking, "Wonder if we could talk him into changing his name to maroongoon94 or maroongoon96?"
Photo of the ranch:
I'd bet the farm it's a night game. Too many eyeballs lost to play it at 11am.

It's already slated for an afternoon/evening FLEX game. Has been since the beginning of the season. Should your grandma move out of the ranch house now or…?

Who freakin cares. That game is setting up to see who goes to the SEC title game. Who cares what time it is at. 11 am or 6:30 pm, it will still be a big game. Quit acting like everything is some kind of slight towards A&M.
Kiffin knows we'll have a night game vs t.u.
People have been crying about this all season.
The advantage is supposed to be getting home games at night, right?!?!?
Guess how many conference games they'll have at home?
Exactly one.
None of the cherry-picking stat criers paid attention to that one though.

2009 was at night
