The Texas 8$4 game has been moved to October 26, the egg bowl and Texas & Texas 8$4 game will likely be on Thanksgiving weekend.

It could be Arkansas, Missouri, or Oklahoma. Everyone else is locked up in their in-state rivalries.

Texas and Texas A&M will also renew their rivalry next season after a 12-year hiatus. The game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 30 in College Station to close the regular season, according to sources.

I hate that late season trip to Fayette-nam.

The weather is always abysmal.

Yes

OU would be so much better.

For nostalgia purposes I’d love to see the game return to Fridays…however Friday games are extremely fluky.

I honestly feel like Texas will become LSU’s natural rival. OU and Florida just seems right in my head

Chicken,
Did you like the Friday game vs Arkansas every year? I was probably 50/50 on that when we played. I didn't really like traveling from Houston to Baton Rouge in the evening on Thanksgiving. Usually got sleepy driving over and I didn't want to leave so early on Friday.

It gets cold in Norman, OK too.

Do people just want a home game on 11/30/24 instead of traveling to Fayetteville?

Probably. It's Arkansas or Oklahoma and from a rivalry week perspective, there's a much longer history between LSU/Arkansas and Oklahoma/Mizzou than the other way.


And we probably get sent back to Friday which I hate. The CBS game is going away but ESPN/ABC does air some black Friday games. ABC had a 2:30 and 6:30 game this year which you figure could be SEC next year.

A Black Friday 6:30 Arkansas game wouldn’t be terrible. That 1:30 time slot always left you wanting more tailgate time.

I hate playing Arkansas or OU that late in the year.

If the SEC votes to stay at 8 SEC games, we will be back to playing the Ags on that last weekend as Texas and A&M wont be playing every year.

I liked the Friday 1:30 Arky game. If the Indy bowl was in better shape I would love them to play in Shreveport every few years as well.

That 1:30 slot on black friday always felt like LSU was stuck in a Thanksgiving hangover state
