Back in the day, LSU played either Arky or aTm on Thanksgiving. I’m talking about back in the golden ages, 1970 and earlier.
Playing either one of these teams Thanksgiving weekend has some roots

LSU has had two rivals - Ole Miss which fizzled in the mid 70s and Tulane til we stopped playing them. LSU has only become Alabama's rival in the last decade. The record is clear that in the past 50 years, Alabama has dominated us and embarrassingly so, so let's stop with talk of that "rivalry". We're probably # 3 on their list.
As for ATM, Texas will always be their biggest rival, and I think many Aggies would say LSU is now #2. There are A LOT of Louisianians in Texas, and A LOT of them have sent kids to their highly-ranked institution. And just because we have had their number since they joined the SEC, it was not always this way.
It is not a manufactured rivalry. It's a natural one that happens to have history. Once they beat us a few times, things will ramp up a bit. Yes, leave it the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Pffft, LSU closed their seasons with Tulane then.
