You seem to think the eyes of the world will be on us on Thrusday night, do you really want them to see a 3/4 filled stadium?

You act like this hasn't happen before with LSU. Also, stop acting like this is the end of the world and the worst idea ever. LSU isn't going to receive special treatment and have this game on a Saturday like the Iron Bowl [Which this is what most LSU fans want]. Putting this game on primetime the day of turkey day is a smart move for the league/TV Ratings.

Which supersedes everything else.

I'm not sure what this has to do with me, the only things I have said regard keeping the game on Friday.

The "last" A&M-UT game in that time slot last year got a 2.4 rating. In 2009 it was a 3.7. That's an historic rivalry. By contrast last years LSU-Arky game got a 6.1 on Friday, Au-bama in 2010 got a 7.5 and a 4.8 in 2009. The 2010 LSU Arky game on a Sat got a 4.2, 2011 Iron Bowl on sat a 4.3. 2009 UF-FSU got a 5.1 on sat. Id link but I'm on my phone, but please tell me how it will help us to play on a Holiday night.

ETA: the Ravens-49ers game from last Thx, on opposite tamu-ut game got a 4.1 on the fricking nfln.
