Va Tech has cancelled their home game and will now play VMI and Old Dominion as home OOC games.


James Madison will travel to San Diego State and pick up a 2nd check.

The last meeting between Madison and Va Tech was in 2010 a James Madison win.

Uhmmmmm...VT should get crap a lot but this one is the ACC went to 9 conference games and asked us to move the Sept 25th game that happened to be JMU. The new team on our schedule is SMU who replaces JMU.

Is someone going to claim LSU is punking out when they have to cancel a game vs Mcneese in 2029? (They have 13 opponents currently)

Both schools will be in rebuild mode - so maybe a win-win here.

Franklin and his Penn State transfers will be unbeatable. Go Big Game James.

Unless it is mandated that we cannot play FCS teams anymore, LSU is much more likely to cancel the SMU or ASU game that season instead.

Honestly, just play SMU at Jerry World once in 2028 and call it a day. A home-and-home with them doesn't move the needle much.

I remember when coaches used to say, “Any time, anywhere, anybody!”
