Well, let me tell ya, this Fresno State football thing, it’s somethin’ else. Folks are always jabberin’ about it, and I reckon I got a thing or two to say, even if I ain’t no fancy expert. Just an old woman watchin’ the games, ya know?
First off, they talk about “predictions”. Sounds mighty highfalutin, don’t it? But it’s just guessin’, plain and simple. Like predictin’ the weather, sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re soakin’ wet. These fellas, they look at all sorts of stuff – how the team played last time, who’s hurtin’, who’s new. They got computers and numbers and all that jazz, but in the end, it’s still just a guess.
Now, this Fresno State team, they’re the “Bulldogs”. Tough name, ain’t it? They play hard, I’ll give ’em that. Runnin’ and jumpin’ and smashin’ into each other. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, just like life. But them boys, they give it their all, and that’s what matters, I reckon.
This year, they’re talkin’ about the “bowl games”. Sounds like a fancy dinner party, but it’s just more football! They got all sorts of bowls – Potato Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl… Lordy, it’s enough to make your head spin. But it’s important, see? It’s like the big finale, the last hurrah before they all go home for the winter.
- So, what about these predictions? Well, some folks say Fresno State gonna do good, real good. They say they got a strong team, a good coach, and a whole lotta fight in ’em.
- Other folks, they ain’t so sure. They say the other teams are tough too, and it’s gonna be a hard fight. And that’s the truth, ain’t nothin’ easy in this world.
- But me? I just watch the games. I cheer when they score, I groan when they fumble. And I hope them boys play their hearts out, win or lose.
Them experts, they like to talk about “odds” and “betting”. I don’t hold with that nonsense. Football’s a game, not a way to make a quick buck. But these fellas, they got their numbers and their charts, and they try to figure out who’s gonna win and by how much. It’s all a big gamble if you ask me.
And then there’s the “college football news.” They’re always yappin’ on the TV about it. Rankings and projections and all that. Who’s number one, who’s gonna play who… It’s a whole lotta fuss, if you ask me. But I guess folks like to know, they like to have somethin’ to talk about.
This “Famous Idaho Potato Bowl” they’re goin’ to, well, that sounds like a mouthful. But it’s just another game, right? Two teams, one ball, and a whole lotta yellin’. And they say Fresno State is gonna be there, playin’ their hearts out. That’s good, that’s real good.
Now, some of these games, they play ’em on what they call “smurf turf.” Can you believe that? Blue grass! It’s a sight to see, I tell ya. But it don’t change the game, not one bit. It’s still football, still tough, still excitin’.
And they talk about other teams too, like “Nevada Wolf Pack.” Sounds like a bunch of wild animals, don’t it? But they’re just boys, same as the Bulldogs, playin’ the same game. And it’s always a good match-up, a real nail-biter sometimes.
So, if you’re askin’ me for a “fresno state football prediction”, well, I can’t give you no fancy numbers or odds. I can just tell you what I see. I see a team that plays hard, a team that fights for every yard, a team that makes their fans proud. And that’s good enough for me. They gonna win some, they gonna lose some, but they gonna give it their all, every time. And that’s all you can ask for, ain’t it?
And this “2024-25 college football bowl season” they keep talkin’ about? Well, it’ll be here and gone before you know it. So, enjoy the games, cheer for your team, and don’t take it all too serious. It’s just football, after all. And let me tell you, after a long day of workin’ in the fields, or in the kitchen, there ain’t nothin’ better than sittin’ down and watchin’ them boys run around. It takes your mind off things, ya know?
“California State University”, that’s where them Bulldogs come from. A big place, I hear. Lots of learnin’ and lots of football. And that’s a good thing, I reckon. Learnin’ and playin’, that’s what life’s all about. And these boys, they doin’ both, and doin’ ’em well.
So, there you have it. My prediction, plain and simple. Fresno State’s gonna play hard, they gonna fight hard, and they gonna make us proud. And that’s all that matters, in the end.
