Not a bad idea. We will take the easy win with Texas.Wish the SEC West would pair off with some Big12 teams for regular games like the SEC east has with some ACC teams.

Arky, Mizzou and the two Oklahoma schools are the only ones I can think of. And OU already has Texas and Okie Lite. I'd think they'd prefer to rekindle the Nebraska rivalry than play Arky or Mizzou. JMO.I like this idea, but are their any natural rivals? UGA/GT, UK/UL, Clemson/South Carolina, FSU/UF are all long standing rivalries. UT/A&M obviously could be, but outside of that, it's not something that could be done every year, IMO.
I don't know why Texas and Arkansas don't play every year on Thanksgiving.

Mizzou and Kansas.
But I think I'd rather see a rotation done rather than set rival games, and only among the higher tiered teams. If I had to pick 1 team for Alabama it would be Oklahoma. But then what about other teams, they might want to play better Big12 teams etc. And then maybe Oklahoma or Alabama isn't good in the future and you get stuck with a subpar opponent for many years(aka like Alabama vs Tennessee is almost always).
And then only the higher tiered programs because fuck playing Kansas as part of the rotation etc. Oklahoma, Texas, TCU, OKST and WVU or so I guess. Alabama, Auburn, LSU, A&M and Arkansas probably. Arkansas more so due to history and location.
And others could still do their own things when they wanted.
But if I were to design a way for the teams to get good matchups frequently, something along those lines would be best IMO.
That would be fun. I miss Arkansas-LSU during thanksgiving. Some great games in that series.

You could take the basketball approach. Why not have a yearly challenge and do it over a weekend. 2 sites Dallas and Atlanta. That will give flexibility on scheduling. Do the schedule 6 months in advance with the idea of trying to match like teams. Plenty of time to get plans made. You will sell out both sites.
"We have no plans to renew the rivalry game at this time for very practical reasons,"
Better yet, most of the SEC plays out of conference rivalry games the last week of the year A&M and Missouri should do the same against Texas and Kansas respectively.
Really should be Texas and A&M. Both fans bash each other constantly. You have factions of both sides that act butthurt over a bunch of administrative BS, but they know they want the game played. It’s the only game where fans on either side dread going to Thanksgiving dinner or the office the next day, because those “loudmouth assholes” are going to run their mouth all day. That is what a rivalry is about
PS: I would bet that Texas asked, because they knew the answer. It’s just another game within the Cold War that is Texas vs A&M

Texas vs Texas A&M - no brainer
Oklahoma vs Alabama - They deserve each other
Oklahoma State vs Auburn - Ag school battle
TCU vs LSU - Purple War
Texas Tech vs Ole Miss - Raiders vs Rebels
WV vs Miss State - sponsored by the American Dental Association
Arkansas vs Baylor - Left overs
Kansas vs Missouri - And everyone can go back to not caring
Kansas State vs Vandy - so the Big 12 can win one of the games
Iowa State vs Tenn - UT only team left without a yearly out of conference rival.
Big 12 should beg for this deal as it upgrades their network value tremendously.
Can’t keep Texas running your life.Ohh I don’t think the B12 will be the problem for scheduling this, even with one less OOC game. We all know exactly who the problem will be.
