It's baseball season again

Are you ready? No, seriously, are you ready? The Fresno State Bulldogs begin their 2009 season unlike any way they've started a season before in the school's history. This time, it's as the defending National Champions. This year, the Bulldogs have the target on their backs, teams will be gunning for them, looking to make a statement, looking to knock off the champions. The most important thing is how this team responds to the challenge, will they step up and accept the challenge of being the champions and carrying themselves as such, or will this young team falter under the pressure, playing below the level they're capable of playing?

All these questions, and more, will begin to take shape as the defending National Champions will take the field on Friday night as they welcome in the University of Washington Huskies for the first of three games at Beiden Field. The Bulldogs will raise their championship banner and will receive their championship rings in a ceremony prior to the first pitch. Opening night is already sold out...WELL DONE BULLDOG FANS! However, there are still single game tickets available for Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, so make sure you pick up those tickets for both games and make sure that Washington leaves Fresno knowing full well who the champions are and who their fans are.

Let the Red Wave rock Beiden Field and let there absolutely be NO doubt...WE ARE FRESNO STATE! GO 'DOGS!
