Alleva said the networks continue to push for LSU to move its game with Texas A&M to Thanksgiving day, but he has continued to refuse.

“As long as I’m here, we will not play in Tiger Stadium on a Thursday,” Alleva said. “I guarantee you that.”

LSU working on deal with home and home with Maryland
Gets LSU in the nation's capital, maybe they play that one at Redskins field.

I still don't get why the Aggots like playing on Thanksgiving? That was traditionally a Loss to UT, now it's a Loss to LSU. They constantly boast about killing their UT rivalry, yet they keep all the traditions that went with it

They're positioning it to make Friday look like a win.

I'll be happy with Friday this year though

This.

It makes it look like we got our way when CBS forces us to move the game to Friday afternoon.
