Yes. My wife has relatives in Little Rock. We would make a Thanksgiving week vacation out of it by going to Branson first, then going to the game in Little Rock.

Yes. And then you still had Saturday off.

problem now is we are not in the 80s and 90s anymore.
all games now are televised and we have been big time on the national scene since saban playing day games. no way around it now with the $$$$$ involved.

I liked it because I pretty much base Thanksgiving weekend around hunting. Pretty much start hunting on Wednesday morning, do a little hunting on Thanksgiving, and then Friday you could go to the game and all that bullshite, then you can have the rest of the weekend to hunt.

not when it was at that dreadful Little Rock stadium - the fans around that stadium were meaner than the fans in Gainesville. Fayetteville is much better but i would rather the game a bit earlier in the year

I never understood why Arkansas likes to play in Little Rock. War Memorial is a small stadium and looks rundown.

Friday after thanksgiving but not the early kickoff time.
I think these two things went together which is why most LSU fans didn’t like it.

What does it really matter? Arkansas, A&M, etc.

Hated it. We played for a few years on Saturday back in the '90s and that worked out better. I always hated playing the Hogs on Black Friday.
Posted on 8/13/23 at 7:39 pm to bdavids09
Yes.

No
You could always count on a pretty bad weather day up there around that time

Not really. I'd honestly rather play A&M the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I know that's blasphemy for some people. Whatevs.

I like the occasional day game. It's a good feeling watching the big games that night knowing we already got the win.

I understand why people didn't like those games, but since I live out of town and usually visited Baton Rouge for Thanksgiving, the afternoon kickoff worked for us.
I vividly remember the 2007 game, both the noise during the overtime and the silence afterward. I also had a great angle on the Jennings to Duval TD in 2013.
GEAUX TIGERS!

I liked it because it was different and interesting home Game Day atmosphere and it gave us an extra travel day get to Fayetteville without using PTO.

Hated it. Tiger Stadium is a shell of itself on Black Friday afternoons. I prefer Saturday Nights.
