Why in the hell would they not have Texas and Texas A&M rivals that play in the last game?

I also wish we could get Arkansas rivalry game on Black Friday back. We had good games with them.

We each have 1 permanent opponent. That 1-7 schedule model won the vote 9-5. A&M wanted LSU and LSU had no preference. Texas wanted OU and NOT A&M. That's the way the SEC voted for the 2024 season at least.

That 8-game schedule is not going to change unless ABC/ESPN agrees to pay the SEC more for that 9th SEC game and maybe not even then.

Right now every current SEC member is not getting even one more dollar because Texass and OU are coming into the SEC. We will get more $$$ than now but we would have gotten that even if UT/OU had not wanted in. The deal Sankey negociated is not working like he hoped it would.

We had really bad games with them. 2002 and 2008 were terrible, as was the three OT fiasco in 2007.

I don't embrace a return to LSU/Arky on Black Friday.
