I have a bad feeling about this one.
I am afraid I am predicting a Fresno St win....by double digits, say 12.

Yes, Pete, the writer is correct. However, we ran all over SJSU but still lost so there's no reason to think that will be the key to this game. Instead the key will be whether we put any decent amount of pressure on Derek Carr. If we do, we can win. If we don't, Carr figures to throw for close to 500 yards.

I say Fresno State wins by 28. Take that with a grain of salt Obviously I am a Fresno State homer!
In all reality I think a lot of what happens depends on what teams show up. Niether team has had much consistency in either offense or defense.

Although I see Fresno winning, I don't see winning by a huge score some predict.
I have always pulled for SDSU, however, I have never figured what it is SDSU settles for so much mediocrity with their coaches. Hoke was great for SDSU and I optimistically thought SDSU was finally going to be all they could be. IMO, Rocky Long is more "same-song second-verse.

Tonight's game will be very close since both teams are equally fair. Each about a 5 on a 10 scale of NCAA schools. And Rocky is a hard working Ted Tollner. As such, he will never have back-to-back 3-8s like Ted did but OTOH, he has never had nor do I think he will ever have, a breakout season. |

Fresno by two touchdowns. Just being realistic. We will not beat them in Fresno. I just posted another homer vote. Head says Bulldogs but heart says Aztecs. |

Rocky Long reminds me so much of Pat Hill without the grandiosity and macho BS. Just enough default wins but not enough beyond much of a pulse. Mediocrity acceptance can linger a long time because of "hope" and "hope" requires no proof. Its ally being "wait until next year". |

fangdog, I have to disagree at least in one sense. Pat Hill pulled off plenty of big victories over AQ conference opponents. Plus, he won his share of bowl games. Rocky has beaten a number of AQ conference schools but they were all lousy teams in the bottom half of the conference. Plus, with the exception of when UNM shut out Nevada in the NM Bowl, his team has never performed well in bowl games. Upsetting good AQ conference teams and winning bowl games are what brings national attention to schools like SDSU and Fresno so although Pat Hill brought some positive national attention to Fresno, Rocky has never brought such attention to the school he works for.

I understand your point. However, how well would Hill had done had he coaches where Rocky coached and Rocky coached where Hill coached? Big difference in location and resources. Have you ever checked how many BCS team wins Hill had over .500? Hill did get a lot of miles out his "Anyone, anywhere, anytime". But I soon seen it as nothing more than "Talking the walk" and as it proved out it was all it was. I am not saying Rocky Long would had done any better or worse, just that I think they are both losers. More important, I hope the SDSU football program doesn't drift back in to the fan apathy I have seen in the past. To me, California programs such as SDSU and Fresno squander their vast resources with underachievement compared to other programs and it is rather tragic if you are a fan of either school. |

Well, that's the bottom line. And I think it goes all the way to the Chancellor's Office. Having our two schools in the Pac wouldn't bring millions per year into the state's coffers yet UCLA and Cal reportedly do everything possible to keep us out and the CSU does absolutely nothing I'm aware of to lobby the Legislature to force them to help us get in. That said, we both need to get our houses in order first. And in Fresno's case, you still have braindead fans who keep saying on the MWC board that it's better for you to remain in the MWC than go to the BE/Big Lots for considerably more TV revenue and considerably less travel costs. Duh isn't strong enough a word. |

last team to have the ball. There will be less defense in this game than WVU/Baylor, but not as much offense

last team to have the ball. I hope to be wrong, but likely the last team with the ball will be FSU taking a knee. |

Duh isn't strong enough a word. It is those same "brain-dead" who kept saying "wait 'til next year" with Pat Hill. Vision doesn't go much beyond the end of the cotton-row for some of the Fresno fans. Thank-God they wouldn't have anything to do with it if Fresno was to be invited to the BE. |
