Fresno State Helmet 'V'This representation of the San Joaquin Valley is displayed in the form of a green "V" on the back of the Bulldogs' helmets. The green in the "V" is a symbol to the agricultural community of the Central Valley, which is the world's richest agricultural area in export dollars.

When Pat Hill became Fresno State's head coach prior to the 1997 season, he wanted to reinvigorate San Joaquin Valley pride in the Bulldogs. Because Fresno State is the only Division I football program in the Valley, a 250-mile stretch in California's midsection from Bakersfield to Modesto, Hill wanted to make the Bulldogs the "Green Bay Packers of College Football." As Coach Hill often states, Fresno State is not only representing Fresno, its representing the entire Valley.

"The people of this Valley are of vital importance to the success of this football program," said Hill. "They help us fund the program, they give us unparalleled support, and they are going to be the big reason we take this program to a level where we are consistently in the Top 25."

Hill has also shown his commitment to the Valley in recruiting -- 45 of the Bulldogs' 104 players (43 percent) are from the San Joaquin Valley.

Fresno State is a really good school for students looking to major in Agriculture Science and most recently, Business. They have a nationally acclaimed Ag Science school where they have received hundreds of awards for producing some of the best tasting wines in the world up against some of the world's best known vintages. They also have an excellent business school. Their business school is not named "The Sid Craig School of Business" for nothing. Sid Craig, who was known for starting Jenny Craig International and for being a minority partner in the NBA's Phoenix Suns, was a Fresno State alum who said the most influence any education system has had on his life was Fresno State. In 1992 he put his resources into creating one of the best business schools in the state and Fresno State has never looked back.
