The SEC has a series of contracts that prevents LSU from playing all its games at night. Just deal with it. It's ok.

This is a fact of life. LSU gave up its right to dictate these things the second it signed up along with all the other SEC schools with CBS and ESPN's contracts and then taking the money.
hools should be more mad at Alleva for taking away marquee OOC home games every year just to get a payday. That is the bigger issue at hand.

I hate that we don't have as many night games, but with success comes that sacrifice.

What hes saying is this argument is no longer valid if ESPN broadcasts this game.

TAMU requesting the thanksgiving night game essentially takes away CBS' traditional friday 1:30 matchup and it forces a prime SEC game into ESPN television.

This is the same thing as if LSU requested 1 marquee home SEC night game a year. It would essentially force either CBS to use their once a year primetime slot on that game or save it and let ESPN have that coverage.
