Grapes taste like Fresno




Truly a very funny mini series. I got a copy from the C of C. I have the remaining stock of posters from the network. So if any of you want one, just let me know.

Not that Fresno will ever replace the Bay Area as a location for movies, but since you brought up the Carol Burnett mini-series, last week we had Billy Crystal in town.

That's not the correct usage.

You say it after your vastly academically superior school's football team wins in a blowout. It's a message of hope for the downtrodden.


Wrong, you say it after being trounced. That's alright, that's okay (i.e. it doesn't matter that you have just stomped all over us), you'll be working for us some day.

bravo.

Just confirms fresno is a dump of a place where anyone with talent leaves and never goes back. :beer:


I can provide a statistically significant sample size to support this argument.

could also be made in to a t-shirt. instead of using a picture of tedford, cal students from fresno could have a shirt that says "I left fresno to have a future" on the front and on the back have a cal script. in blue and gold of course

...he could only stand to be there for one whole day and then he left to shoot the movie in Georgia....pretty funny if you ask me.

Except Davis was undefeated against Sac State from 1988-2007 and won again last year after a two year losing-streak (10 and 3 point losses), so odds are good it wasn't being used in the way you think it should be used.

We have snide names for the Furd, South Central, and FUCLA (I prefer UGLY) too. We don't have any for Oregon State (that I am aware of).

Frenso State is in good company.

Speaking of UC Davis, the Ags are opening their season against Arizona State right now (in Tempe).

Look, I'm sure it's been used both ways.

Personally I say save it for when it cuts like a knife.

What an assinine thread. Same chat back in 1995--and we lost the game. Lots of complaining and whining after the loss in Fresno as well. Win the game for the first time against these guys before talking smack. With Tedford, I can't really imagine losing, but I didnt think fat a$$ Gilby would lose at home either.
