    NMSU was also in a no win situation. I’m not holding animosity towards them. But I’m also not forgetting that they didn’t help with in any way possible.

    Apparently, Old Dominion did us a favor. They dropped Buffalo from their schedule to allow them to schedule the Cajuns at home.

    Old Dominion did not have a FCS opponent on their schedule and by dropping Buffalo they scheduled Texas A&M – Commerce out of the Southland.

    I guess we owe Old Dominion a favor.

    Think EMU this past year. Stuck it to us in the first. Looked more than 2 steps slow in the second.

    I hope that is sarcasm? What more did you expect at this point when most schedules are made years in advance?

    Too bad there wasn’t a two hour lightning delay in the Independence Bowl. Probably coming back to overwhelm Houston.

    I'll be there, just don't think this moves the needle much for the program
    Considering the situation this late you really can’t ask for much more. Great home game addition at this point.

    IS NMSU subject to any sort of payment/punishment for backing out?

    If true that is beyond awesome! Very grateful!

    You may be right and that comment rings more true with the original scheduling of NMST the independent, at the time, desperate for a game. The last minute scrambling to try and pick up any G5 opponent is not the time to complain about scheduling quality opponents. Doc was lucky to find any opponent to come to cajun field at this point.

    “Louisiana added the 2023 contest against Buffalo after their home game against New Mexico State was canceled due to the Aggies moving to Conference USA. The Cajuns already had a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) opponent scheduled and likely wanted to avoid playing a second.

    Buffalo was previously scheduled to play at Old Dominion on Sept. 23, 2023, but the two schools mutually agreed to cancel the game so the Bulls could fill the opening on Louisiana’s 2023 slate. Old Dominion replaced Buffalo with a home contest against Texas A&M-Commerce”.

    Some people will never be happy until Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Notre dame or Southern Cal visits Cajun Field. Which means they will never be happy.

    Only if they all come in the same season.

    Great work and thanks ODU for being so accommodating.

    I think people are upset It's been 13 years since the last P5 team came to cajun field.
