Personally, I've liked having UA-LSU as the Friday after T'giving classic. Especially because the womenfolk are mostly out shopping, so you can eat, drink, cuss, and do what you please during the game. Last year for me, that involved a near heart-attack going from down and out to jubilation in 30 some odd seconds.

The long presumed day after Thanksgiving football date between Arkansas and LSU was made official Monday by CBS sports.
CBS announced it would televise the Arkansas-LSU SEC West regular-season finale at 1:30 p.m., Nov. 28 from LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.
Though the game originally was scheduled for Nov. 29, Arkansas' 2003 schedules have long listed the game for Nov. 28.
This marks the eighth straight summer that CBS has announced it was moving the Arkansas-LSU from the Saturday after Thanksgiving to a 1:30 p.m. kickoff the day after Thanksgiving.
Other than the first Arkansas-LSU SEC game in 1992 that Arkansas won, 30-7 in Razorback Stadium at Fayetteville, all of Arkansas' SEC games against LSU have been played in either Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium or at Baton Rouge.
The Razorbacks won, 21-20 last year in Little Rock.
Arkansas now has two games, the Sept. 13 nonconference game at Texas to be televised at 11 a.m. by ABC is the other, set for network television in 2003.
Three SEC games, Sept. 20 at Alabama, the Oct. 11 homecoming game with Auburn in Fayetteville, and the Oct. 18 game with Florida in Fayetteville, have kickoff times still to be announced because of possible telecasts.
The other games set are the season-opener with Tulsa, 6 p.m., Sept. 6 in Fayetteville; 6 p.m. against North Texas, 6 p.m., Sept. 20 in Little Rock, and a 1 p.m. with New Mexico State, Nov. 15 in Fayetteville, plus SEC games with set kickoff times are at Ole Miss, 1 p.m., Oct. 25 in Oxford; at Kentucky, 1 p.m. Nov. 1 in Lexington; South Carolina, Nov. 8 in Little Rock; and Mississippi State, 1 p.m. Nov. 22 in Fayetteville.
