Where is our annual battle for bowl eligibility Egg Bowl? Where is Texas/Texas A&M?

Oh good, we get more N.F.L. football on PeaCOCK tonight.

What I think of this decision

That might be the greatest celebration with the worst consequences in college football history.

believe the Egg bowl replaced whatever name they made up for the annual Mizzou beat down of Arkansas

Didn’t like the year lsu played a&m but I truly miss the egg bowl on thanksgiving night. I thought with Texas coming into the league they’d put it on thanksgiving. Guess they don’t want to give a&m an advantage since Texas would have to travel on a short week. So fricking tired of the schedule advantage Texas has gotten this year.

I used to love as a kid the Egg Bowl being the only game on Thanksgiving and Kirk, Lee, and Mike would broadcast it and award the player of the game with their favorite pie.

ABC ruined the Egg Bowl by saying they wanted it on Fridays.

Well, ESPN and all the mouth-breathers on here are hell-bent on turning college football into the NFL. So, why not?

Yawn. I prefer LSU playing on Saturday. I don’t even like the Labor Day Sunday game, especially since they’re 0-3 in it.

I always liked the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night.

I have no desire to watch any NFL football today

The ONLY football game I’m watching today is the Tulane game tonight.

Has Alabama ever been a traditional Thanksgiving day game? What exactly is your point?

It’s a shame they didn’t bring UT/A&M back on Thanksgiving.

I miss the Black Friday game because it cleared up Rivalry Week Saturday for me to sit on my arse and watch all the games.
