Putting this game on Turkey Day prime is a smart move for the league and TV ratings


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.

To be fair, A&M & UT weren't exactly top contenders last season and it's a bit ridiculous to try and compare the Au-bama in 2010 & 2010 LSU Arky game to them.

The aggies at my new most hated SEC opponent bc of the infestation I have been exposed to here in Houston. THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!! None of them are realist. I can't wait to cream them year in and year out, especially on Thanksgiving when the whole country is watching.
