That's dumb showing the Thanksgiving day off network. They are messing with a tradition that earned them more than immediate money.

They could be shooting themselves in the foot. Thanksgiving used to be a big college football rivalry day before the Dallas Cowboys started playing on Thankgiving back in 1967. If football fans were given the choice between Texas A&M vs Texas on network TV at the same time that the Dallas Cowboys are on pay per view, which game do you think would have higher ratings?

The NFL Network is not pay-per-view.

I cannot wait for that tv contract (or is it Dr. Pepper?) to be done with so TAMU vs tu reverts back to where it should be... Thanksgiving evening instead of T+1.

And while I'm at it, get Bonfire back on campus (especially to its former home - Duncan Field. I don't care if it is scaled back to a virtual glimmer of its former self... it just needs to burn. Dr. Gates/Board of Regents/State of Texas - settle the law suits and let Stack burn again.

Are you from Texas? Congrats to the Longhorns, not just for a great game, but also for rehabilitating the best college team logo.
