Fresno State football, coming just after hosting Wisconsin of the Big Ten conference, made a huge announcement this afternoon regarding their schedule for next season.
The announcement, made by Fresno State athletic director Thomas Boeh, was that Fresno State will play three teams from BCS conferences as a part of their 2009 non-conference schedule. The Bulldogs will play at Wisconsin (Sept. 12), at Cincinnati (Sept. 26) and at Illinois (Nov. 21).
In turn, the Bulldogs will host Cincinnati (Sept. 18) and Illinois (Dec. 5) as part of a 7 game home schedule in 2010. This marks the first time in school history that the Bulldogs will host more than one BCS conference school in a single season.
If this doesn't show that Pat Hill and Fresno State still believe in the "Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere" mantra, I'm not sure what does. Will this make Fresno State more attractive to local and national recruits? I think it should, but I'm sure there are plenty that will disagree and are done watching Fresno State get beat by big time teams like Oklahoma, Tennessee and LSU. I for one, think the Bulldogs are right on the cusp of doing what Boise State did just a few years ago.
