New Mexico Bowl

My alma mater (Fresno State) officially decided prior to the New Mexico Bowl that they would get into the record books. Unfortunately, it was for not being able to tackle. The 'Dogs got ran over by the Colorado State Rams, click here if you really want to see all the records Colorado State broke in this bowl game. The 'Dogs officially ended their disappointing season, well I knew they would disappoint, I just didn't expect them to finish 7-6. So much for all the BCS talk back in August. If you ask me it's time to move on and that means getting rid of coach Pat Hill. Sorry coach, but you have took us as far as you can. It's time for a change. I wonder if Adrian Wiggins will coach our team? Let the Ebahn Feathers era begin!!

Derek Carr to Fresno State

I'm very upset with the Bulldogs and how they played this year. Now with the New Mexico Bowl in about a week, the 'Dogs are looking to end the season on a good note. Yeah whatever, who cares it's the New Mexico Bowl. The talks have already began about highly regarded Derek Carr. Derek is the little brother of former Fresno State quarterback and NFL #1 pick David Carr. People in the valley are already calling the younger Carr the savior of this highly overrated Bulldog football program. The Fresno Bee had an entire article about Carr and whether he can make an instant impact for the 'Dogs next year as a freshman. You should stop by and read that article, just click here. You might agree with the article or might not. I think the 'Dogs need more than just Carr, and besides in my opinion current freshman (redshirting this year) Ebahn Feathers is a bigger threat at the QB position. However, if Pat Hill will continue to; run left, run right, screen left, screen right, then Feathers will not succeed in that offense. Feathers is a crazy athlete with legit 4.4 speed. While Carr is the more "polished" passer, Feathers has an entire year under his belt learning the playbook. But no one knows what Hill will do, I'm pretty much preparing for Ryan Colburn to start next year because Hill never does what should be done.

Fresno State Football 2007 Outlook

OK so where to begin with the beloved home-town Bulldogs. Let's face reality, it's going to be another tough year for the Valley boys. Not only do they have an unproven, has yet to live up to the hype quarterback, in Atwater native Tom Brandstater, but the loss of middle linebacker Alijah Lane for the entire season is a huge blow. Oh, wait you want to hear more bad news, well their most experienced and leading receiver from a year ago, Chastin West, is also out for the season. Pat Hill has to be sitting at the dinner table wondering what he's going to do to save his job. Many people in the valley want him out, but he's the second highest paid coach in the Western Athletic Conference and buying him out will cost Fresno State a lot of money they don't have (Thanks Lindy Vivas). By the way, who are they going to convince to come coach the Bulldogs. Let's not give up all hope just yet, running back Lonyae Miller still looks like he's going to be a stud. The offensive line is still in tack, and if they can stay healthy they will be a good bunch of hog mollies paving the way for Miller, Anthony Harding and Batman himself (Clifton Smith). I'm not even going to start on the receiving corps, some may confuse them for corpse by season's end. Chastin West is gone and he was the leading returner with a total of 33 catches, yes 33. Now the leader is Bear Pascoe, don't get me wrong this guy is beast, but he's not Vernon Davis or Kellen Winslow Jr. Defensively things could be scary for the secondary. They are going to have to grow up quick. Moses Harris and Marvin Haynes, both sophomores are oozing with potential, but potential doesn't win games. Let's not forget quarterbacks couldn't get any Bulldog defensive backs to catch their passes, as they finished with less interceptions than refrigerator Perry has touchdowns. And the WAC possesses heisman hopeful Colt Brennan. But the defensive leader is back however, Marcus Riley, is ready to roll at his outside linebacker spot. He's a stud period. But can he really anchor the defense alone? Tyler Clutts has to become the great defensive end he can be and Jason Roberts (DE) has to live up to his Jason Taylor hype from high school. Oh it's going to be an interesting season and with just two weeks before powerful Sacramento State comes into the doghouse, the Bulldogs better be ready to roll.
