Both Texas A&M and LSU will practice in the comfortable confines of Cowboys Stadium this week as they prepare for Friday's kickoff.
Texas A&M's practices are open to the media for the first 15 minutes. LSU's practices are completely closed to the media. Both teams will make coaches and players available for interviews after practice, in addition to their daily press conferences at the AT&T Cotton Bowl media headquarters.
Ole Miss and Oklahoma State found an advantage in practicing at Cowboys Stadium in the days leading up to the game: By kickoff, the "awe factor" of the Cowboys' giant video screen has worn off.
Texas A&M has a slight advantage in that area because the Aggies have played a game in Cowboys Stadium each of the last two seasons. However, the Aggies lost both times to Arkansas.
"Hopefully we're going to break that losing streak we've got here," Texas A&M linebacker Michael Hodges said. "Hopefully they're a little more star-struck than we are and it [the video boards] will be a little bit of a distraction for them."
