More WAC connections

Cal Poly and Fresno State have agreed to play two football games in Bulldog Stadium, the Mustangs announced on Wednesday.

The rivalry, discontinued after the 1985 season, will resume on Sept. 4,
2010. The Mustangs and Bulldogs also will play on Sept. 7, 2013.

"We've been talking to these guys for a long time and I am glad it¹s finally
nailed down,² Cal Poly coach Rich Ellerson said in a press release. "It's great for our players and our fans."

UC Davis has played San Jose State the last two seasons and has fellow Western Athletic Conference foes Boise State and Fresno State on the docket for 2009.

You might remember that Fresno State coach Pat Hill causing a bit of a stir in August when he said he thought UCD and Poly might end up in the WAC eventually.

Speaking of the Mustangs, their game at McNeese State on Saturday in Cowboy Stadium has been cancelled due to the potential effects of Hurricane Ike on the city of Lake Charles, La.

Now with only 10 games on its football schedule - Football Championship
Subdivision schools were allowed to schedule 12 games this season - Cal
Poly is pursuing efforts to schedule another opponent for Sept. 27 or Oct.
11, according to a release.
