It's not a big deal...to some. For others it is. For those people, it's not bitching but arguing legitimate points.
If A&M can get this game moved to Thanksgiving because it's "their tradition" and in doing so makes it so that CBS will not be televising an SEC game during the week like they have done for a long time (the LSU-Arky Friday game), why then can't LSU do the same for that Friday game?
Why isn't A&M being told to play when CBS wants to televise the game? I could actually see if this was a case of CBS televising the game every year, but showing it on Thanksgiving when it's in college Station and on Friday when it's in Baton Rouge. but we've already established that this won't be a CBS game. Did they stop wanting to make advertising money on big SEC football games or something?

The day of the game that will be played in Tiger Stadium in 2015 is yet to be determined. If you want to just go ahead and speculate so that you can complain about this then that is your deal, but they are saying either Friday or Saturday for now. Could end up being on Thursdays, who knows, but it certainly isn't set in stone for Friday either.
If it gets moved to Saturdays, I'll stand corrected. Until then, there is no reason to assume that game will be any day other than the day that game has traditionally been played for most of the previous decade...which is Friday.
FWIW, I personally don't mind the Friday game, but I have no issue with those that hate it.

For the record, the egg bowl is played on Thanksgiving.
For the record I said "marquee game"

Again it is our tradition to not play thanksgiving day at all, not just our home games.
And if that is the case then everyone one of our home games should be saturday night...but they arent.

So now the visiting team should dictate when games are played on the road? Or does that only apply to LSU?

That is what a lot of the posters on this board think. There are some fairly rational people. But a lot of them are irrational and think this way.

My personal take as an Aggie fan. I've lived in both Texas and Alabama for many years. Not many college football fans I knew growing up in Texas watched the Bama Aub game. It was always obscured in with other games on a Saturday.
A large amount of people I knew in Alabama watched the Thanksgiving A&M vs Texas game because it was really the only interesting college game on Thanksgiving.
I know since I grew up with Thanksgiving day being a college football day and the only family I experienced that day with was the family that also participated in going to or watching the game, that it's not a big deal to give up a big family thanksgiving at home. But I also think that it's pretty selfish to cry about how much of an inconvenience it is for you when it could do so much for the schools involved when it comes to national prestige if the game can become a national Thanksgiving tradition as the old tu vs A&M game was.
Now I know the typical LSU fan thinks they have enough national prestige already, but you can never have enough. Otherwise you would get all 5 star recruits.

i can understand A&M pushing to get the game on Turkey day if that's their stupid tradition.
conversely, I think LSU agreed to play on Fridays, it wasn't thrust upon them. LSU agreed at a time in the 90's when we sucked and CBS was saying, "hey, we aren't showing y'all much these days, but here is one way to get in the national slot for at least one week", so LSU agreed.
LSU may very well now change it's tune on this A&M thing and say they only want to play Saturday after Thanksgiving when hosting A&M. We'll see. If that's true, I cannot imagine the SEC and CBS forcing LSU to play Friday. Only thing that may be wrong in my assumption is if it's already written into the CBS contract (with LSU's prior approval) and that contract is still in effect a while.
At any rate, count me in the old fart camp of having family plans conflicting with my desire to stride into BFE east texas and watch LSU beat the monsanto gmo corn out of those farmers.
