Rabalais: It's only half a ‘tradition’ for LSU and Texas A&M

It’s hard to imagine Thanksgiving Day without football.
Personally, I have a theory that the Pilgrims and Indians used
Plymouth Rock as a crude football on some unsuspecting meadow after the
first turkey and stuffing was consumed.The Indians would have had home continent advantage, ’tis true. But the Pilgrims, being English, would have had the ever-present threat of football hooligan violence as a trump card.
Final score: Pilgrims 7, Nervous Native Americans 6.
If you follow LSU, Thanksgiving Day football has been about watching the Detroit Lions lose to, well, whoever, then the Dallas Cowboys engage in some sort of slapstick. (“It’s Leon Lett! No!”)
But LSU on Thanksgiving? That hasn’t been part of the plan since 1983 (a 20-7 win over Tulane in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome) and only twice since World War II.
