The short answer is that I don't like them because I don't want to be associated with them in any way, shape or form. And get their name right...its officially California State University, Fresno.

Our hated rival tends to morph through the years. Our most senior folks remember Cal Poly as our heated rival. Our semi-seniors remember you. Some remember San Jose State. Now the youngsters think of Boise State. Our rivalry has suffered because you have been so chicken sh*t through the years that, every time we get in your conference, you up and leave so we can't embarrass you. Oh, and I'm speaking of football. Basketball doesn't matter. At least it had better not. Especially not today. Yoda out... .

I'd love to have Fresno and UNLV in the nBE with us. Both teams are completely dislikable and have mangy fan bases. My personal distaste goes back to when we had a huge brawl vs them in the '92 season conference finale. Marshall got hurt early and we couldn't overcome it. Having that said, Fresno has a really die hard football community that supports big time. I respect them, but boy do i hate them.

I hope we keep in the same conference as Fresno State. I agree with a lot of the trashing of the town and the residents, but it is the program that jim Sweeney built and I loved Jim Sweeney.

I'm kinda meh on the Fres. No offense to our fellow charter member, but they are just another nondescript CSU who does not move the tv needle or improve basketball much on our end. They'd do wonders for baseball though. I'd be okay with welcoming Fresno back, and not too heartbroken if they stay where they are.

Great former rivals, but the emphasis is on former. Our program has outgrown them and we need to look to schedule up. Additionally, it is to hard to get in and out of fresneck due to lack of direct flights and horrible fog conditions. Team is having to bus up to Fresno for tonight, which I am sure is helping X's back condition. Well I guess that it will get us ready for the BW if that is they direction we go. Would you be busing up to San Jose as well?

Season itcket holder since 1980 . so yeah , I guess I do have a lot of t-shirts. YBU has always been our rival since then and FSU ...well, just not that interesting. I'm sure FSU never drew more fans to the Murf/Q than YBU...

I like Fresno state and have no bad feelings about them, I prefer not losing to Fresno State though, but wish and hope they do well in the MWC with or without us.

I used to like Fresno State but stopped because of all of Yoda's annoying posts.

That did not make any sense. Why don't you want to be associated with them? Please don't say "because I don't like them".

I don't like Fresno State much either, but I want them in our conference for the following reasons:
1. We have a long long history at playing them. In basketball, we have played them longer than any other school. They are a natural cross-state rival for us. 2. They are the only Cal State program other than SDSU with a history of success in both Division I Football and Hoops. 3. They are strong in other sports, including a recent national championship in Baseball. 4. We need to pick the big schools in the west that are competitive in both Football and Basketball so we can get that Western Division. Fresno is so much better in Football than some of the other Western choices like UNLV and NM. 5. They are not at high altitude. 6. Fresno has a strong fan base. The Fresno support base is much bigger than many people think. It is the only major Div I university sports program in the central valley with rabid fans from Bakersfield to Sacramento. I drive through there a lot and see many Bulldog bumperstickers. My brother-in-law lives 80 miles north of there and his whole family are huge fans. Fresno itself has 500,000 residents but the whole central Valley has millions of residents with many cities of decent size (Bakersfield, Stockton, Modesto, Sacramento, etc.)

Because they from Fresno. Population: 500,000. They are a small time school in a small time city with a small time atmosphere. If we want to be big time then we have got to stop associating ourselves with the likes of Fresno State. I've got family and friends that played for them in the 90's. This type of statement is the reason why THEY hate us... I will say they are proud (trash talkers) and support their fball. I'd love to play them every year or ever other year to keep it alive. Go Aztecs!!! Go STATE!!!
