In other schedule news, I'm not sure when it'll be officially announced (may already have been?), but Texas v. Texas A&M will take the old Egg Bowl slot on Thanksgiving. The Egg Bowl is moving to Black Friday.

- Start date
Still part of the tv contract... each school has to play one of them.

Yeah. I know. Expansion is leading to exclusion unless you are willing to drop a dime or two on a weekend.
Wanted to correct this... while that was the plan by the SEC and TV side, the schools wouldn't agree... so they'll play on Saturday. This year (barring a last minute change), there will be no SEC game(s) on Thanksgiving Day. That Saturday will be stacked with rivalry games...

Dang, I loved the Egg Bowl in that night slot. Always a good one.
I liked it too, but I'm almost always traveling that day and sometimes miss part of it. I'm ok with it being on Friday now, but wish they'd still move some SEC game to the Thursday night spot... I know it's the NFL's day, but I like the tradition of it. Even if it was Kentucky v. Louisville. Something.

UArk and the Illini have announced they are playing. That should be a pretty good basketball game.
