Aw, don't be too hard on the football team.

Pat Hill, the head football coach at Fresno St., has done an outstanding job there. Because of location, playing in a low-profile conference, and very limited national exposure, he is unable to recruit the top-of-the-line athletes. Yet he churns out teams with winning records every year and isn't afraid to schedule major powerhouses whose level of talent is far greater than what the Bulldogs are able to suit up. Yet, for the most part, they are able to go toe-to-toe with these athletically superior teams, and even beat them on occasion.

Maybe if I've got internet down there, I'll try and jump on and say hi :)

Oh.. I'm bringing some Jdrama goodies with me for vacation watchings!

Have fun, dude! Wow, Mexico! Awesome.

A belated Happy Birthday to you! :victory:

Sorry to hear about your birthday woes. It's happened to me before, and I have to say it's really crummy at times. When family and friends forget, it just makes your birthday feel like it's just any other day, not a special one. The only thing I can suggest is when next year rolls around, a few days before your birthday, just bring it up somehow. Talk about how excited you are to be turning 15, and how in just five more years you'll 20. If your family and friends don't get that hint, well, uh, throw the birthday cake at 'em? :sweat:

I certainly agree that Pat Hill has done an outstanding job for the football program and I'd certainly take what we have now over what we had before (although Jim Sweeney was pretty darn successful himself). Fresno State gets a lot of national exposure compared to other non-BCS conference teams, primarily because Pat Hill is willing to take on anyone, anytime, any...well you get the point.

It's gotten to the point where I wonder if Fresno State can truly get over the hill, and crash the BCS party like two fellow WAC members in Boise St. and Hawaii. Sure, Fresno State can beat BCS teams at times, but what really bugs me is when the Bulldogs beat a team like Virginia or Georgia Tech then turn around and lose to a team like Utah St. I haven't forgotten how Fresno State hung with Reggie Bush, I mean USC back in '05 only to lose the rest of their games against conference opponents and that Liberty Bowl. Yes, the Trojans won, but I was happy that Fresno proved that they could play with the big boys. The rest of the season was just frustrating to follow. I'd just like to see for once Fresno State beat the BCS teams on the schedule, win the WAC outright for once and go to a BCS bowl.

Yep, don't forget UCD when it comes to Aggie talk! :beaten: Well, Aggies isn't probably appropiate for the school or town. UCD Bikers would be a better fit :sweat:

Ahh, you must be a fellow Aggie. :D

Sadly, I haven't biked as much since I finished school years ago. My bike must feel lonely.

Chances are I won't be biking as much when I'm done with school here as well. I mean I have a purpose for a bike in Davis, which is to bike to class or to the supermarket. Considering Davis is a very bike friendly town, I haven't had the need to bring a car up here to drive around. I'm sure once I'm done a car will be my primary mode of transportation unless I find work in an area I can bike to without difficulty, or gas is like $7+ by then :sweat:

Biking to work rocks. I live less than a mile and a half from my job in Tacoma now and it's so convenient to be able to walk or bike to work!

Oh, btw.. I'm home in Newbury Park, CA 'til Sunday morning - when we fly off to our resort down in Mexique! And hell, we may have internet down there and I'll definitely have my notebook along (gotta offload the crazy number of pictures I'm going to be taking somewhere!)

So I'll be around for the next couple of days at least - hopefully finishing Seikei Bijin in the interim!

Oh, and I shared the first ep. of Orange Days with some local friends here - we had a nice time watching it this evening.. got a little teary when I saw Kai walking up to Sae for the first time.. still my favorite jdrama couple, at least along with Nodame and Chiaki ;-)

You'd have better luck Googling for an answer, I'd think.

Sorry, for some reason June crossed my mind. :puppydog: :sweat:

I'd say UC Berkeley and UCLA are the the top 2 non-private universities (public) in California for economics...and for everything else for that matter.

Jim Sweeney was a heckuva coach and one of the great characters in college football. I remember years ago hearing him speak at a clinic in front of 200 high school football coaches. He was insightful, profane, and hilarious. At the end of his talk, he thanked the coaches, raised a fist, and with a big grin said: "And with your help, God willing, we'll stamp out soccer." Of course he got a standing ovation.

I'd like to see that too. Every year in college football it seems there's always a Cinderella team (last year's unbelievable once-in-a-generation season had several). Perhaps in the near future it'll be Fresno St.'s turn to get the glass slipper.
