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.
