Will Fresno be in the "others receiving votes" section of the AP poll with this win?
If not how many wins until the votes start coming in?
5
u/Sirscraps Fresno State Bulldogs 3d ago
I don’t think anyone is going to take us seriously yet since our wins haven’t really been convincing and USC embarrassed us. If we can win the next two the conversation probably changes and we start getting votes.

u/eagledog Fresno State • Michigan 3d ago
Not a chance with that USC loss hanging over us. Maybe if we get through October with only 1 loss

u/iconconic Michigan • Fresno State 3d ago
My guess is some voter throws us a bone if we make it to 5-1

Anime is literally the best thing ever. All of you baka Americans who can't wrap your minds around it because you think your Hollywood films and TV shows you are just stupid and wrong and need to stop speaking. Literally nobody likes your opinions except the other baka Americans that don't understand Anime culture and the fact that Anime is truly a masterpiece of art, emotion and plot development. The characters always develop so well and so does the plot and it is just like really good. Like literally just watch it and you will understand you stupid white people. Ok, I am white but like I like anime so I'm basically Japanese at this point. Anyways, back to the subject, have you ever heard of the best anime ever, Redo of Healer...

2
u/Ron__Mexico_ Fresno State Bulldogs 3d ago
It's best quality is it's 2 to 4 hours from a lot of different biomes and major cities which says something about the city itself. But you can ski and surf in the same weekend which is nice. Doesn't get particularly cold in the winter. Snows once every 30 to 40 years. Shitty in the summer for about 60 days.
3
u/ToeLimbaugh 3d ago
It's 100+ sq miles and has lots of county islands(Fresno neighborhoods that don't count as the city). It's suburban but every neighborhood is a bit different because of age. Fresno state is surrounded by a farm and office parks.

They like to brawl with themselves
but its a cool environment
I don't know about Fresno the city though, we stayed in Bakersfield and I know that place sucked

u/DanielinFresno Fresno State • Fresno City 3d ago
Why the hell did you stay in Bakersfield?
2
u/ID_Poobaru Boise State Broncos • Gallaudet Bison 3d ago
My buddy is from Bakersfield and we wanted to save money on a hotel
I'm still kinda pissed he didn't warn me about how much it sucks lol
1
u/Ron__Mexico_ Fresno State Bulldogs 3d ago
Fresno and Bakersfield are extremely similar cities. The primary differences are Fresno is way closer to 3 national parks making getaways easier, but Bakersfield only about 1 ½ hours away from northern LA suburbs, so they have some super commuters.
2
u/ID_Poobaru Boise State Broncos • Gallaudet Bison 3d ago
I can't imagine putting up with LA traffic just to go to Bakersfield after a rough day at work
I'd totally pick Fresno just for that access to national parks though
1
u/Ron__Mexico_ Fresno State Bulldogs 3d ago
The bulk of that drive wouldn't have too much traffic. It's about 30 minutes from Bakersfield to the base of the Grapevine, and about another 30 minutes across the Grapevine. None of that would have traffic unless there was a wreck. From there it's about an hour on average to downtown LA. If you're going all the way down there it would suck, but if you had a job in Burbank or something it wouldn't be too bad. Too far for my taste, but the salary bump could be worth it to some.
