Which means I will not ever see an A&M game at Tiger Stadium.



That is a horribly stupid idea. Horribly stupid.

I assume this is the friday after game. No way they challenge the NFL hold on that day.

As long as it's not a damn 1:30 kickoff, i'm fine with that friday.

If its on Thanksgiving evening, i know I'm in the minority, but I have zero problems with this. Fried turkey and tailgating!

That is terrible. I also don't like having to play on a shoort week following Ole Miss (I understand it was already short playing on Friday, but putting it to Thursday is worse)

I love love love this! Primetime on a night with tons of TV's watching it. I have no doubt TS won't be full either. If you don't like this you have no understanding of how to make $ in athletics. 20 yrs from now this will be a tradition that you bitchin girls won't be able to live without.

I think UT and A&M used to do this on Thanksgiving. Will be huge exposure for both programs.

This is a terrible idea. I don't care who the opponent that week is, but the damn game needs to stay on Friday.

There is no sense in putting it on Thanksgiving. If Alleva doesn't fight this, he needs to be fired.

I love it. It will make Thanksgiving exponentially better. To hell with Arkansas.
