Paul George became the highest draft pick in Fresno State history on Thursday, after the Indiana Pacers selected the forward with the 10th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. George, whose draft stock skyrocketed since the end of the 2009-2010 season, averaged 16.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game for the Bulldogs this past season.
At 6′8 and possessing elite athleticism and shooting touch, George went from a potential late-first round selection to a lock for the lottery in a matter of months. Despite an inconsistent season for Fresno State against perceived inferior opponents, George nevertheless wowed scouts with his raw tools and had NBA teams sold on his upside. (Read More…)

Fresno State Bulldogs forward Paul George is expected to hear his name called during the first round of the NBA Draft.
George may not be quite as well known as some of the other players because he played at a small school.
However, there is nothing small-time about his game, although he still has to shed the “soft” label. (Read More…)

Eight starters back on both sides of the ball have hopes high the Fresno State Bulldogs’ football team can continue its growth in 2010.
The Bulldogs went 8-5 a season ago, finishing third in the Western Athletic Conference with 6-2 mark in league action.
The returning starters on defense are highlighted by two All-WAC first-team honorees in defensive end Chris Carter and middle linebacker Ben Jacobs (who led the Bulldogs with 106 tackles). On offense, quarterback Ryan Colburn is back, as is Joe Benardi (one of the top centers in the nation), two-year starter Devan Cunningham at left guard, and No. 2 receiver Jamel Hamier highlight the returnees.

The Fresno State Bulldogs will take on the Wyoming Cowboys in the Dec. 19 New Mexico Bowl. Despite the success of both teams this year and the quality of the game itself, an even bigger story might be the possible departures of Fresno State head coach Pat Hill and star running back Ryan Mathews.
It has ben speculated that Hill could be on the way out after an 8-4 regular season, despite his unrivaled success at the California school. But because he’s yet to earn a WAC title outright, there are those that aren’t satisfied and think the program should head in a different direction.
Mathews, meanwhile, could be gone because he has been too successful. After leading the country in rushing this season, Mathews has said he’s considering declaring for the NFL Draft. His future could be directly tied to Hill’s, too; if Hill is shown the door, it could pave the way for Mathews to say adios to Fresno State. That might be something worth considering for the university brass; with Mathews, the Bulldogs should contend for a WAC title next year.
