    And neither will Texas Tech or any of the other B12 teams. They still get their game at home as will TCU and KState and anybody else who comes to play us on Thanksgiving.

    I guess I don't understand the others willingness to always be on the road for the holiday unless they were strong-armed into it.
    Bowlsby implies they didn't want to host, but implying doesn't make it so...

    They won't "always" be on the road for the holidays. I think what is going to happen is that you'll see the B12 teams rotating through this, so that each team will only be on the road for Thanksgiving like 1 time in 8 or 9 years.

    As Gip pointed out the Cowboys and Lions do exactly this on Thanksgiving Day...they are always at home.

    Yeah but the Cowboy and Lion players get paid for it where the kids just miss time with their families....
