As an A&M fan in college station, it made sense when playing Texas since Austin was 90 miles away. Everyone did their family meals at lunch and then jumped in the car for the night game.

If fans want to go to that road game in person now your entire Thanksgiving is shot with travel. You may even need to take off work Wednesday to travel. That is asking too much in my opinion and I go to most road games.

I have not seen many Aggie fans happy about it unless they do not actually go to the games.

Lotta LSU fans live close enough to college station to where this isn't true. I'll be doing my family thanksgiving about two hours away.

I don't know how much that would factor into your point, which is good, though.

But isn't "tradition" more important than work and family and any of that other stuff?

Really though, you're right about Aggie fans getting screwed here. With so many LSU alum in the Houston area, LSU will be way better represented in College Station than Ags will be in BR.
