When did that even start? I remember being in college from 87-91 and it was always Tulane on the Saturday after Thanksgiving ... I've always gone just don't remember when it changed.

Good

The TV exposure wasn't bad(Except we have lost the last two ) , but the crowd was always lackluster and the game a huge PITA

I think its been 16 years or so. I like the after Thanksgivng game. I am shocked a early afternoon game is now replaced because of the Iron bowl. I thought that game was at night anyway

frick the Friday Arkansas game. LSU loves to come out flat and play like crap in it.

Just recently 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2008 are all games that LSU came out flat as shite vs. Arkansas on Friday.

A recent tradition.

That makes a lot of sense.

I liked the game the day after thanksgiving. But i also prefer a night game. CBS contols the schedules for us now. That sucks. Wish their was another way to get the exposure.

Good I hope it becomes the best Saturday night game there is. Beat the shite out of the Hogs every year, and every SEC West, any team they play.

If you want a Saturday night game, hope that Florida State has a decent year, so CBS picks up UF-FSU for the 2:30 slot on Saturday.

It's going to feel like the LSU-Ark game is on Sunday, though Oh well.

What are the chances of a night game with this move?

I am all for moving the game to Sat, this will definitely benefit the Tigas!
