Hey everyone, so, today I decided to dive into something that’s been on my mind lately – the biggest rivals in Fresno State football. You know, those games that just get your blood pumping a little faster? I started by looking up some recent matchups to get a feel for the current landscape.
I saw that Fresno State is playing Air Force on November 9th, 2024. That got me thinking about how important rivalry week is, usually happening in week 14 of the college football season. It’s those games that really stand out on the Fresno State football schedule, you know?
Then I stumbled upon some info about the upcoming San Jose State vs. Fresno State game on October 26th, 2024. That’s when it hit me – the “Battle for the Valley.” It’s always a big deal, that game.
- First, I made a list of potential rivals.
- Then, I started digging into the history of these matchups. I wanted to see which ones had the most intensity and history behind them.
- After that, I looked at recent game results. I figured that recent wins and losses probably play a big role in how fans feel about these rivalries right now.
- Finally, I made a note that they use the green “V” on the team’s gear to show love for California’s Central Valley, especially the San Joaquin Valley.
I even checked out some news about Fresno State’s top players and new recruits. There was a piece about a 2018 linebacker from California joining the team. It’s always interesting to see how the team is evolving.
I also read an article about Michigan Football’s first game against Fresno State. It’s cool to see how these teams prepare for these big matchups. There are always so many questions and debates leading up to the game.
So, after all this digging, it became pretty clear to me that the Fresno State-San Jose State rivalry is a major one. But I’m sure there are other strong contenders out there. I’ll probably do more research in the coming weeks to see what else I can find. Maybe I’ll even catch some of these games in person!
