It's kinda one of those You're Not A Fresnan Until you do these things: walking Christmas Tree Lane and going to a Fresno State game. Well Friday night they will be going head to head.
Christmas Tree Lane opens Friday with the first of two walking-only nights. There's little Fresno tradition that compares to going down old Van Ness during Christmas. And walking it is undoubtedly a step above driving it.
Maybe slightly underrated in its Fresnoness is a Fresno State football game - maybe not a game on FRIDAY night, but still. And after the perfect storm of reasons to not go to last Saturday night's Idaho game, it's time to get back and support the Dogs against the Big Ten's fightin' Illinois somethings.
So, you've got the last chance to see a football game at Bulldog Stadium and the first chance to walk down Christmas Tree Lane this year. *beard stroke* What's a good Fresnan to do here.... hummm...
Yes, it's already going to be on ESPN2 and a walk down the lane can be a better time (especially if you know somebody that can get you into a party at one of the Van Ness houses). But there is another walk on Tuesday, December 14th.
Coach Fu Manchu beats Santa this time. Yes?
