that is scheduled for next week.

I do not know what the announcement will be.

But I have confirmed with a high-ranking official at the University what it will not be — any sort of neutral site arrangement. Beyond that, you’ll have to stay tuned for what CDC and Trev Alberts have to say. 

Definitely has my curiosity up 

Good. A neutral site game for this rivalry would be horrible for CFB. Glad it will remain a home & home. 

Moving the game to Thanksgiving Day?

probably some kumbaya moment with the rivalry at its heightened state.

I think Alberts wants to publicly apologize for the buffoonery at texags. 

oh goody…the traveling “Lone Star Showdown” trophy is making a comeback!

Building a new neutral site stadium in Dime Box

Has to be a sponsorship. Trev looking in the couch cushions for cash and we need to keep filling up the vault to Scrooge McDuck that thing.

Trev's gonna hit CDC with the pie-to-the-face trick and Ags will laugh themselves silly for the next decade about how they pwn Texas.

 I grew up with this game on Thanksgiving and we still don't really know what to do with ourselves on Thanksgiving afternoon. The Cowboys just don't cut it but it will be hard to go head to head with the NFL.

It would be a night game with no other games on.

Can we send Schloss with CDC?

I much prefer T+1. It's nice separating the holiday from the game day.

Can we call it the “Lonestar Shootout”

The Cowboys are what they are….a rich, underachieving, overpromising, uberhyping, always disappointing team with glitz, glamour, and zero to show for it.

There is a night game on now, that comes on NBC at 7, I believe.

I have zero idea why people misremember Texas vs ags as always on Thanksgiving every year. That is history reinvented.

The last 38 times (1974-2011) Texas played the ags only 14 times on Thanksgiving night. The other 24 times was the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving.

As a UT student, I still remember driving down to College Station in 1977 on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to watch Texas and Earl Campbell beat the ags 57-28.

I’d take a 57-28 Texas win this year.

Me also. That 1977 season brings back some good memories.

I’m not sure what I’d prefer. A 57-28 thrashing in college station or a Justin Tucker last second FG to crush aggy spirits.

My nerves can’t take a 27-25 Texas win.
