The Texas-Texas A&M football rivalry may be done forever or at least put on hold for the near future, but the Aggies may try to work out some future non-conference football games with Oklahoma.

“There is mutual interest,” a Texas A&M official told the American-Statesman on Monday. “There’s a lot of mutual respect between the two ins utions. We got a very welcome reception at their stadium.”

The Oklahoma fans even gave the A&M band a standing ovation at halftime. Officials from the two schools met over the weekend when OU beat the Aggies 41-25 on Saturday, but neither side has any idea of their schedules next year after A&M joins the Southeastern Conference.

Could a Thanksgiving night meeting between OU and A&M be possible? Don’t rule out anything because that is rivalry weekend in the SEC, the date when Arkansas faces LSU, Florida plays Florida State, Clemson plays South Carolina and Georgia meets Georgia Tech. But I’m not sure OU would want to play A&M the week before its Bedlam game with arch-rival Oklahoma State.

It won't happen but wuld be fun

.....I agree it will be very difficult to schedule on Thanksgiving week in football because the SEC has a championship game the following week while the Big 12 does not. So, the Big 12 has scheduled marquee conference games in the last week of November and the first week in December beginning this season. This means we would likely need to play our friends in the state capital in early September. Our new issue is that we will likely be scheduling SEC games in the month of September as part of their TV package. That will make it doubly hard.

Even Bill has a hard time seeing the Ags playing on Thanksgiving.
