How did a thread about replacing NMS U game end up about chicken farms and processing plant visits? So RP...
. . . that is a loaded question . . .
Well, to bring it together, NMSU made a real chicken $h!+ move.Quote:

Didn’t Wyoming and Tulsa back out on games with Louisiana of late?

Welp options are not looking good.
But, But, But....In Maggard we trust....Quote:

I know we’re losing a home game. Odds are we’ll end up overpaying a FCS team since they know we’re in a bind.
SMU, meh…that’s more exciting than McNeese or an other FCS.
Scrap it, go 7-4 or better (which is the minimum I expect in year 2) and go from there. And take notes, no NMSU in any sport.
Memo, Ohio is traveling there first. We needed a home game this season. Just say.Quote:

Any other P5 looking?
What's more valuable? A home game (this year) vs SMU as part of a 2 for 1 or getting a bottom feeder FCS school at home. Maggard needs to look at value. Forget the fuzzy math he uses to justifiy against a 2 for 1. ALL of our peers in the belt have 2 or 3 for 1 deals with P5 schools. Marshall and App both parleyed victories into more exposure than you can ever buy. In fact, App turned its win at Texas AM into 500 Million Dollars of free exposure! Is Maggard that damn blind?
We just did a 2/1 with UAB, so what's the difference? I'd take that with SMU.Quote:

If not, do a deal with SMU.
We don't HAVE TO schedule another FCS, and we shouldn't.
Another home game is more valuable to the staff and the program. It's the AD's job to facilitate his staff with the support financially and in scheduling to help them win.Quote:

There is no guarantee that signing any 2 for 1 deal with any such program today will eventually not end up being bought out when it's time for the return trip to Lafayette. It happens alot more often than people think.
The best thing for this program is another P5, single game.Quote:

Completely different, and to insinuate that we would get similar results as they do by merely scheduling the same number of P5s is very disingenuous.
Negotiate a 2 for 1 quick with the zero cost to the opponent game be up front. (unheard of)
This year UL goes for free, next game they pay, third game Louisiana gets a quality opponent at home.
They did beat us this year...Quote:
