As a Fresno State fan, I was disappointed by K-State backing out of this game. I thought K-State was a formitable opponent, and added credibility to the developing Fresno State program. It's a shame that K-State is now using additional funds slated for the program to pay Fresno State to back out of this game; it borders on misappropriation. However, having had Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Auburn back out of games in Fresno in recent years, we bounce back. Two years ago, USC replaced Auburn on the schedule, and even though it was a 50-42 loss, it put Fresno on the national stage as a respected program. This year K-State was replaced by Rutgers, although Rutgers is a program with only recent success and with the departure of their featured back Rice, is probably not as respected a program with a history as K-State. It's a shame.
