2023 Home Opponent

[MountainDew]

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

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.

If true that is beyond awesome! Very grateful!

I just think, for better or worse, UL can do better. Our peer University's in the Belt seem to outschedule us on a regular basis...why is that? Somehow, we should always strive to do better, especially with scheduling ( and just about everything else the athletic department touches)...
I'll be there, just don't think this moves the needle much for the program

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”.

Who the hell do you want to schedule in this situation? From the attitude you've shown lately, the admin could have scheduled a home game with Alabama and you would still complain.

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.

That was a good get based on the circumstances

It could have been much worse!

I saw Alabama at Cajun
field. I stood 4’5” at the time.

Exponentially better than I expected. I'm excited.

7-6 last year, lost to Covid Carolina and ended the year winning one of the last 4 regular season games and beating GATA in a bowl.

No offense, but you really don't seem to be a fan of anything that is done in our athletic department. I don't get it but I do hope you are able to become a fan again in the near future. You do bring a lot of good things to this board.
