Fresno State Bulldogs vs Boise State Broncos: Don't Miss It, I'm Just Saying!

Friday night the Fresno State Bulldogs will play the Boise State Broncos, the highest-ranked team to ever play at Bulldog Stadium.

“Why should I bother going to the game or watch it on television?”  “The Bulldogs are going to get rolled up.”  Any of this sound familiar?  It does to me.

If the Bulldogs win this game, it would be the biggest win in the history of Fresno State football.  That’s why!

What do you have to lose? If you’re a fan and usually go to the games, why on earth would you miss a chance to watch them play the No. 5 team in the nation?

In 2005, my wife and I traveled to southern California to watch the Bulldogs take on the mighty Trojans of USC, the No. 1 team in the nation at that time.

The situation was a little bit different, the Bulldogs were actually on a pretty good roll, winning seven games in a row and were ranked 16th in the nation heading into that game.  Still, expectations were low and most fans, including myself, gave the Bulldogs no chance in that game.

We all know how that game turned out, but when I left the L.A. Coliseum that night, I told my wife, “that was the best football game I had ever attended, college or pro”.  I stand behind that statement still today.

I’m not saying that another heart breaking loss is what Bulldogs fans want or need. I’m just asking you to think back to how you felt during that USC game; It was a fun ride even though the final destination was not ideal.

Appalachian State Mountaineers vs the No.5 ranked Michigan Wolverines in 2007.  Remember how that turned out?  If not, I’ll refresh your memory.  The Mountaineers, a Division-1 FCS team went into Michigan Stadium and upset the Wolverines 34-32.

Anything can happen!  Yeah I know, that phrase is old and tired and Bulldogs fans are tired of hearing it.

Sports is one of the best forms of entertainment,  if you like reality television, there is no better show.

If the Dogs pull off this upset, don’t come whining to me if you didn’t go to the game or tune in to watch on ESPN.

I’m just saying!
