Fresno with a side of insecure Fresnan

Call me an insecure Fresnan but I love finding out what other people think of Fresno or, in this case, of Fresno State.

The Houston Chronicle's Ben Solomon wrote today how Fresno was robbed of a game they were supposed to steal.

And some Fresno exerts from Red State Diaries (Who knew red state folk could write a non-political blog?). He wrote a live blog about on the day in college football:

5:24 p.m. Fresno State has the ball inside the Texas A&M 10, down eight in the fourth quarter. Do this one thing for me, Pat Hill.
6:27 p.m. After roughly 30 years of instant replay, Fresno hits a field goal, and we go to double OT at A&M.
6:34 p.m. Touchdown, Fresno State! The team not coached by Dennis Franchione takes the lead. And there was much rejoicing. Except from Jackie Sherrill, who is still in the broadcast booth.
7:01 p.m. Heartbreaker for Fresno State. A&M hangs on to win in three overtimes, 47-45. As good as the Bulldogs are, though, Oklahoma isn't Fresno State. Neither is Texas or Texas Tech, for that matter. Franchione has some long days ahead of him if the Aggies don't step it up. Somehow, I'll hold back my tears.

Lastly, there's this ummm, I guess, "character" named Coach FuManchu.

Funky Fresno State atmoshphere

Dorktown sucks at recording videos. I admit it. They are not so much for look-at-our-quality-of-production, more for atmosphere. One day we'll get all professional and stuff.

Until that day, here's some atmosphere from the Fresno State vs. Sacramento State game this past Saturday: Fresno State Game Video

FRESNO ST. TAILGATE BLOG: UPDATE 2

Nerd blogging experiment alert! Trying our first timeline blog from the parking lots of Fresno State, before the Sac' State vs Fresno State game. If (and that's a big IF) we can get some internet connections. Refresh this blog throughout the day, up until tonight's game.

TIME: 2:15 BEERS DRANK: 0 HOT LADIES SEEN: 0 COACH FUMANCHU SIGHTINGS: 0
Heading out to purchase some fine beers and pickup Reggie the Caruthers Connection. Hope the next blog comes from Dorktown's tailgate party. If you see nothing updated below this post by five, then it didn't work...and we suck.

TIME: 12:10 AM - SATURDAY NIGHT:
Yes, well aahh, obviously, the live blogging didn't work. There was actually free WiFi but I couldn't get my official POS Dorktown Laptop to connect to it. So there ya go.

The Bulldogs won. Pat Hill's the most boring play caller in history. Enough said.

A season of blogging and beer begins...maybe

Saturday, Dorktown's gonna begin a season of blogging from our Fresno State football tailgates. I hope to be doing it live, but that's unlikely. We are starting out in the Library lot then moving on to the North Gym lot. If I can pick up some magical wireless Internet in one of the lots (real doubtful), I'll be doing a timeline blog from our tailgate.

I will try to start close to 4:00. If you're around your computer before the game, check it out, you might find some nerd blogging as he downs Negra Modelos.

Dorktown's braving the heat like good Fresno soldiers. Lets hope it doesn't bring folks down like it did last year when EMTs had to get involved:



I'm not the only one blogging about Fresno State today. Check this crazyass blog I found: Coach Fumanchu Blog

Fresno State Quarterbacks...Scrimmage

Nobody debates who should be the starting left-tackle or corner-back, they debate about the starting quarterback. There was plenty of Brandstater vs. Colburn debating going on at the Fresno State spring scrimmage game Saturday.

Dorktown was there to check it out and take some video. The REAL debate became, which quarterback is better at signing his autograph. You decide:

Fresno Famous Dorks

Not only can Fresno State students now download podcasts of class lectures and Fresno State news, they - and everybody else in the world - will soon be able to download Jarah Euston and Joshua Tehee's appearance on the Dorktown Podcast.

Jarah and Josh are scheduled to be on Dorktown - Episode 38 - Saturday night. The podcast should be ready for download very late Saturday night. I think all Famous Folks know what will be major a topic.
