Texas Longhorns AD Chris Del Conte and Texas A&M Aggies AD Trev Alberts hold a joint press conference in Houston to discuss the revived Lonestar Showdown.
The big rivalry game between the Aggies and Longhorns, which was last played in 2011, usually occured annually on Thanksgiving. In fact, out of the 118 times the two teams have clashed, 72 have been on Turkey Day.has always been on the side of playing the game on Thanksgiving, but with most things today in College Football, tradition is getting put to the side in the name of profit.
"You always want to go back to how it was," Del Conte said. "We all think that. I think that the Thanksgiving game, I've heard it from everybody that it was great. The reality is, a Thursday game used to be us and the Cowboys. I think Detroit had a game. Now, there's three NFL windows.""You're the only game and the only show when you think about it from coast to coast. A Friday night game would be spectacular. But this year we get to play on Saturday.
"I think that I have the indubitable knowledge to tell you that it is going to be a neutral site game." Del Conte said. Before he almost caused a statewide outrage, Del Conte said, "Just joking!"
