What a coincidence. My hometown Fresno State Bulldogs will be facing the Trojans of USC in the Las Vegas Bowl...when I just happen to be in Vegas. It's a big thing in Fresno. There will be thousands of Fresnans in Vegas that weekend...including many, many people I know. FSU is a 6 point underdog and I predict the Mighty Bulldogs will win this game in a blowout. USC has fired their coach and they are ripe for the picking

You have no idea what will happen when you get 50 busloads of Fresnans together.

You need hats.

My Alma mater, Rutgers, is playing Dec. 28th against Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium. Tickets are about $200 each. How much are tickets to the RPLVB?

$35, $45, $65, & $110.

I imagine we could get some free tickets if we were actually going to the game, which we're not....But I may wear my 2008 Fresno State Baseball National Championship Lucky Cap on Saturday.

Have a great time. We were going to Vegas for the bowl game if our team was invited this year, which it was not. Glad to know someone from the LVA will be there to represent us!

Those prices sound reasonable. Paying $200 to sit in the nose bleed seats of Yankee Stadium on a windy frigid winter day is too much for me.

I agree that David Carr Jr. will lead Fresno St to victory.

For the record that's actually Derek Carr, David's little brother...not David Jr, David's young son. Derek leads the nation in yards (4866) and TD's (49) and has set many Fresno State and Mountain West Passing records.

Many Fresnans feel he deserved a Heisman nomination but was snubbed in favor of lesser quarterbacks from bigger named schools. I'm hoping the Texans draft him #1 next year...oh the irony...but most make him a second rounder.

Derek isn't doing it by himself as the Bulldogs Junior Receiver Davante Adams has set some mountain west records of his own....including touchdowns in a season. This guy is big and fast and has great hands. He'll be playing on Sundays for sure.

These guys can score from anywhere and they score a lot of points each game. The Bulldog defense is rebuilding and has had some injuries, so it's likely to be a high scoring shootout. 62 is a lot points for the O/U, but I could see the Dogs scoring over 40 themselves which they've done 8 times this season (5 over 50).

Take the Points and the Over on this one.

I was joking and I knew his name was Derek. David Carr isn't old enough to have a kid in college.
