A&M drops 1 game, adds 2 to 2012 schedule

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M has revamped its 2012 football schedule, dropping McNeese State and adding Louisiana Tech and South Carolina State.

The Aggies, moving from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference for next season, still need one more game.

Athletic director Bill Byrne says their options for scheduling were limited because of the move, but that they expect to have a game for Nov. 17 lined up soon.

Texas A&M was scheduled to host McNeese State on Sept. 1, but replaced that game with Louisiana Tech on Aug. 30 in Shreveport, La.

They'll play South Carolina State at home on Sept. 22.

Byrne says the location of their Sept. 29 game against Arkansas still hasn't been determined, but that it will be soon. It has recently been played at Cowboys Stadium.

Keep the game at Cowboys stadium! Very nice watch, and it will be very fun to see it as an SEC matchup! I'd like to welcome the Aggies to the SEC, and I can't wait till my Vols are able to put another beating on them some day! GO VOLS!
