First FCS game to be called off. App St vs LSU saw a time change and we'll see what happens with the game between Southern and Houston (more concerned about SU getting back)...
Here's the release from Nicholls Athletics...
THIBODAUX, La. - With Hurricane Gustav forecasted by the National Weather Service to make landfall around the Thibodaux area, Nicholls University and New Mexico State University have agreed to cancel their football game scheduled for Thursday September 4.
"Nicholls University appreciates the incredible amount of support we have received from New Mexico State University in approaching the urgency of this situation with Hurricane Gustav," said Dr. Stephen T. Hulbert, Nicholls University President.
"After speaking with New Mexico State University President Dr. [Waded] Cruzado this evening, we came to the conclusion that it was not in the best interest of our student-athletes to send our team to Las Cruces. We had alarming concerns from the parents and families of our football team, and went ahead and made the decision."
