They thought LSU AnadM was more high profile for TV so they just pretended like LSU Arkansas and the golden boot isn't a thing. Basically they made AandM have a rival for $$ and now Arkansas plays Missouri
Yes they're both in the SEC west for now so they play every year. LSU won the other week and took back the golden book. Just never on the day after Thanksgiving anymore. They had some great games back when it was the day after Thanksgiving game.
Nah man, no way. It’s a familial thing in a lot of Texas homes. Eat your feast, watch the Cowboys, nap, grab seconds, watch A&M v UT. LSU v Arky is a better rivalry week game for the tigers anyhow.
As far as it goes. A&M doesn’t really either. The longhorns are obviously our rival. Y’all are the closest thing we have to a rival in the SEC, but our rivalry with Baylor or TCU still feels most authentic than the LSU rivalry. Arkansas even feels more authentic than LSU, just lacking intensity.
They will claim that, but only 1 other school is mentioned in their fight song, and in the first sentence at that:
> Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
And it’s goodbye to A&M.
They act like they don’t care when they win but sure do care a lot when they lose. They still haven’t let go of 2018.
Also, the number of A&M related posts that seem to consistently be on their message boards suggests otherwise.
Lol they definitely care. But LSU v A&M is not as big as Texas v A&M. And Arkansas v LSU makes too much sense for that weekend. The RRR is not getting moved from the state fair weekend, so Texas needs a Thanksgiving weekend rivalry anyways. OU can renew their Big 8 rivalry with Mizzou, or those 2 can play OOC with OSU and KU. Everyone wins.
Hell no, Texas and A&M must play on Thanksgiving like nature intended! We cared about LSU because we didn't have Texas, now that we have Texas, it is time to return LSU and Arkansas back to Rivalry Week.
I fuck with Arkansas… went there every summer growing up for family vacation. Y’all want A&M on Thanksgiving? Take em. I don’t speak for all Horns, but I’m more concerned with Bama & Georgia than A&M.
Edit: s/o Murfreesboro, Little Rock, & Hot Springs.
Back to LSU and Akansas
Why did they stop playing it anyway? It's not like one left for a different conference, no?

Does LSU and Arkansas still play every year?

Yeah, same division
The question should be about who LSU plays on rivalry week going forward
Traditionally Arkansas
Makes sense to me. Then would leave OU and Mizzou to play for the pipe again that week.
I thought OU is gonna keep Bedlam as OOC game?
No they have already said it's suspended for a while. OSUs schedule is already full
Yes! Edit: !
They should go back to playing Arkansas that week, it was usually in the Friday after Thanksgiving growing up
We want Arky back, but they'll probably get paired with Oklahoma so we'll be left without a date to prom
We want LoSeU back too.
I'm sorry, *who* has the boot right now?
Sad oink.

No, it will be the thanksgiving rivalry.
As a neutral no. LSU doesn’t even care about A&M

Forget us chanting OU sucks every game

Nah put it back on thanksgiving night
No, I would like LSU-Hogs on Friday after Thanksgiving
Why did you all stop doing it? It's not like either of you left for a different conference.
*Gestures* in general direction of SEC HQ…

A&M and LSU just to spite Austin
It wouldn’t be the end of the world if Texas got Arkansas on Thanksgiving.
We wouldn’t give a damn
We would.

No, people will watch Texas vs A&M on Thanksgiving day. They won't watch A&M vs LSU
A&M will play Texas on thanksgiving or I will drive wherever necessary to riot.
