    Wow, what a shoot out this is shaping up to be.

    That little # 8 for Fresno has got some nice moves...

    Fun game to watch so far.

    Fresno 34

    Both teams move to the Mountain West next year, along with Boise State. I have a feeling that conference is going to be like the old AFL, with more shootouts than the OK Corrall...

    Hey wasn't Fresno a couple of years ago in the same position Boise State is now? Seems like there was a lot of talk about them playing for the NC too. :?:

    Fresno has had some moments, but no where near the success on the field as Boise..

    Not even in the same building.

    Ah I see! ok I thought we were having the same arguments a few years ago, except Fresno was the program du jour. My bad. 8)

    David Carr! The Fresno Kid! Got 44 Million out of the Texans. Got the crap beat out of him, I guess that alone was worth the 44 Million the Texans paid him. He is the classic careful about annointing college QB's as ready to play on Sunday. He's still not ready to play on Sunday.

    :p
    The only people who were promoting Fresno a few years back were those living in the Fresno area. They had improved from average to good, but they still had light years to go on the way to the top and they still do. Boise is a completely different situation. The Broncos haven't lost in years, against all comers including, Oklahoma, Oregon (home and away in consecutive years), TCU, Virginia Tech, Oregon State, and yes, Fresno State, whom they have now beaten five years in-a-row...
