Coach Hill And Spirited Red Wavers
Get the Spirit Going at Friday’s Pep Rally

OCT. 11, 2002 -- Coach Pat Hill and The Bulldog Beat charged up Red Wave fans at today’s Homecoming Pep Rally at noon on the South Patio of the University Student Union at Fresno State.
The rally, with Timeout and the cheerleaders and dancers, was the highlight of Spirit Week activities that have been under way for tomorrow’s Homecoming 2002 game against SMU Saturday.
The game is nearing a sellout with only 700 tickets available, reports Dana Deminna, interim ticket office manager. She said those are expected to be sold today. After that, 1,000 general admission tickets (no seat assignment) will become available. Limited seating in non-alcohol section of the red seats are also still available.
Today, the students got loud and noisy with activities like these:

• Loudest Bulldog Bark Contest -- audience chose the winner;

• Most Red Club – students clubs with most members wearing red;

• Most Spirited –student club loudest yells/noise or showing best cheer, etc.;

• Fresno State Trivia Contest –students showed what they know, or don’t know, about their university’s traditions.

Also helping jazz up the students were:

• The Loh Brothers (Woody, Wally and the Beev) and their Bulldog Cadillac; and

• Todd Haskin’s Red Wave Truck,

Homecoming Committee chairperson Roberto Gomez declared the week’s events a great success. Now, all that is left is the Homecoming tailgate Saturday at 4 p.m. at Beiden Field and the big game at 7:30 p.m. in Bulldog Stadium.
