Fresno St is currently in the midst of one of those crazy road trips that are part of the WAC. On Mon they traveled to Hawaii and lost (SU and ATS), tonight they are playing SMU in Texas and Sat they play at La Tech. This trip is covering almost 10,000 miles in 5 days by my calculations. Something to consider ?
I borrowed this post from another site.
OK GUYS, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET A NICE PLAY OR TWO THIS WEEK AGAINST THEM...
FRES. ST PLAYED SAT NIGHT AT HOME VS. A BAD UTEP TEAM AND BLEW THEM OUT 84-58, AFTER THE GAME THAY HAD A 10:30 MEETING, A 4 A.M. WAKE-UP CALL TO CATCH A FLIGHT TO L.A. THEN A FLIGHT TO HAWAII...AFTER TONIGHTS GAME VS THE BOWS, THEY THEN GRAB A RED EYE TO TO SAN JOSE AFTER AN HOUR LAYOVER THEY HEAD TO DALLAS FOLLOWED BY A TUES. AFTERNOON PRACTICE FOR A GAME VS. SMU THURS. NIGHT, AND FOLLOW THAT BY GOING ON THE ROAD AGAIN TO PLAY LA TECH SAT...ONLY 5 PLAYERS ON THE FRES ST. CURRENT ROSTER HAVE EVER TRAVELED A FULL DIV. 1 SCHEDULE...ALL IN ALL IT ADDS UP TO 4 GAMES IN 7 DAYS (3 ON THE ROAD) 8400 MILES, 3 DIFFIRENT TIME ZONES, 4 DIFFIRENT HOTEL ROOMS.....
THIS INFO IS A SUMMARY OF STUFF FROM VARIOUS NEWSPAPERS AND SOME POSTINGS FROM ANOTHER SITE
I think that by making SMU a favorite the odssmakers are onto this Fresno St travel situation. Probably want to be careful with this one.
