i kind of liked it. maybe it is because we win but i thought it was a nice changeup to the holiday. and for all those saying 'we should be playing on friday!' you are probably the same lot saying "we should be playing on saturday!" all those years we played arkansas on friday.

personally i'd rather play saturday but i enjoyed the game and more importantly the outcome. won't really bother me if this happens whenever we play at TAMU every other year, provided we have a bye the week before.

I don't like it, Thanksgiving is for the NFL.

And it's impossible to have the bye before this game in years with only one bye week, which is most years. Enjoy your week 11 matchup with SE Missouri St in future years.

I think it is unfair. If our fans are forced to travel on Thanksgiving, their fans should too.

F that. I loved having yesterday free. Thursday was great for a road game. Finish eating at about 6 and watch the Tigers beat that aggy.

i get this angle. although its a relatively short and easy trip, probably an easier drive than traveling to arky for most.

I want to travel to College Station and see a game but being on Thanksgiving makes it harder.

I liked it. It makes the lull after dinner more enjoyable.

If LSU and Texas A&M are both #1 and #2 playing the game on Thanksgiving we are still 2nd fiddle to the NFL...

I didn't mind it. It was nice to watch it with my family, who I never get to watch games with.

My entire family was at the tailgate on Thursday so we didn't miss out on being around family or having dinner together; we just happened to be sharing it with Aggies around us.

Besides, tickets were easy to come by. An aggie came up to me and gave my wife and I tickets for free.

Thanksgiving is for family, NFL, and Texas football. The fact that A&M tried to stick it to Texas and got run through all night made it a little better. It's just funny to see those two bitches slap each other back and forth but no one will throw a punch

Ok with it as long as it's an away game..and as long as we have a bye the week prior.

It worked out okay for us. Dinner at 1:00, NFL, naps, and then rally for Tigers. I liked having Friday free, but we wouldn't travel for the game.
