This should be an interesting game for all fans. My perception of Rocky Long has always been the more Pat Hill culture of coaching without the grandiosity and boisterous macho-bravado. I see Fresno's new coach (DeRyuter) as being more the Boise's Chris Petersen type. Listening to interviews of both you would think it the same person.
Watching the games played by these to teams, I have not learned enough to say, "Who should or who shouldn't". Both teams have a game prior and this should give a better idea. At any rate, I do see it being an entertaining game and well worth the price of admission.

It will be televised for those of us that want to avoid the Fresburgian Urine Bombs.

Whats the WORST story any of you have from a previous Fresno visit? Are they really THAT bad of fans out there??? I will be the first to say, our fans had to be one of the worst at one time. However, it has changed now and I don't see Fresno fans any worse than anyone else. I have gone to countless road-games and every place has their share of idiots. I have also found in most cases, fans who have a poor experience bring it on themselves. ....again, I will say, there was a group of Fresno fans who were a total embarrassment.....by and large, these were people who never set foot n a college campus classroom. I blame Pat Hill for part of it with his insecure Macho, bravado, rhetorical BS. "Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere" was just BS and could never truly back it up on the field. SDSU fans come-up and I hope you enjoy your trip with the exception of the Fresno State victory....should be a fun game. |

Whoa, forgot to put on what I wanted to say.
fangdog, you sound like a reasonable, knowledgeable fan. I have been to Fresno many times (working), though not to a game. Not sure I can make it, but I am very interested in the match-up.
I always regarded Fresno State as a pretty good, and tough team to play.You may not have had the success you were looking for, but your team has beaten some quality teams at home, and on the road. You have had more victories against them than we have had, and that is what I admired about the Bulldogs.
I look forward to a great game Saturday myself.

We have a new coach and although the players are the same players as last season, the difference is night and day. If one did not know any better, you would think the coach brought-in a whole new crew with him.
What is going to interest me, I may be wrong, but I see Rocky Long as more "Old School" as was Pat Hill and Tim Deryuter as more "New School" as is Boise's Chris Petersen. I am also looking forward to SDSU's game with Boise. Boise is vulnerable this season and it remains to be seen how stellar they will be.
I do hope the SDSU fans who make the trip have a good college game-day experience when they come to Fresno. I root for my team to win, but I don't get all caught-up in the rah, rah, but glad there are some who do. It makes the whole package fun as long as they keep it fun.

Whats the WORST story any of you have from a previous Fresno visit? Are they really THAT bad of fans out there??? Attending TC's first game, losing on a last minute field goal attempt, as we're walking back to our car, we're getting some serious attitude from FSU "fans" telling us how lucky we were the game was as close as it was. No doubt I was jousting with trailer park trash. Still wearing my Aztec gear I went back to the casino(s) and a number of fans came up shook my hand and said what a great game it was, escaping with a win. Night and day. If you have a chance, make sure you visit Raisin City and get a t-shirt.. |

When you run across a Fresno fan, just tell them when Lorenzo Neal was with the "Chargers" You were a fan of his. Hell, tell them Lorenzo was a friend of yours, they won't know the difference. It doesn't matter if you were a Charger fan or a Lorenzo Neal fan. What matters is Lorenzo Neal is a Fresno State football icon around here and what Fresno fan is going give a SDSU fan grief who was a Lorenzo Neal fan or knows Lorenzo Neal? The answer is "no one", unless he wants to answer to Lorenzo Neal. |
