may be wrong, but I think CBS controls the time slots, not the day a team plays. I think any home team could move a game to Thursday night if they so choose without CBS' approval. I was always under the impression playing the Friday game was with LSU's permission.
Agreed. A&M picked a day (Thursday) that CBS doesn't control. CBS would rather broadcast NFL that day. ESPN doesn't have a better option, so they'll play at night.
Next year, because we wanted not Thursday (Friday/Saturday, which CBS controls) we are subject to the time slot CBS picks. Iron Bowl will probably get the Saturday night spot...leaving us with Friday night or Saturday afternoon, most likely.

Les Miles said he was NOT in favor of playing A&M on Tgiving in CS UNLESS we could have TWO open dates so we could have one the weekend before that game. In 2016 that game will NOT be on Tgiving day is my understanding as that season has only one open date opportunity. LSU is not playing 11 straight weekends before an open date just so the Ags can play on Tgiving.
And, make no mistake about it: LSU must give its approval for any game to moved to a Thursday no matter where it is played.
