ESPN wanted a permanent pairing to play on Turkey Day, and LSU would not agree to that. Egg Bowl stepped up to fill the void.


And just a couple of years ago, the Aggies were all "we dictate the series with LSU" and "SEC honors our tradition of playing on Thanksgiving" on the Rant.

Now, we don't even play on Thanksgiving at all.

That crap went out fast.

A lot of Aggies also realized the LSU/A&M game didn't have the same appeal as the UT game did on Thanksgiving.

But yes, prior to that they did run with the "Daddy A&M dictates its schedule to LSU" bullshite.
