The Bulldogs lost -- why put it on the front page?
Who are you anyway? The Bulldogs lost, we are all feeling very bad because they did and our local hometown newspaper has to rub it in. With not only sports page headlines but with huge front page headlines with pictures as well. I would wager there is not another newspaper in the country that would do that to their local teams. Way to go Fresno Bee. You suck.

Occasionally, a local sporting event captures the central San Joaquin Valley's imagination.
In those rare moments, Bee editors consider whether it's an event worth marking on the front page of the paper.
It's not about celebrating a victory or rubbing in a loss.
It's about recording a moment that clearly moved many people.
Most recently, The Bee had front-page coverage of Fresno State football games three times in the 2005 season: after losses in the Liberty Bowl and against USC and after a home victory over Boise State. All three stories sought to wrap up the emotion of the game and of the fans who attended.
In that spirit, The Bee conveyed the emotions that swept Bulldog Stadium in the wake of Fresno State's loss to Boise State on Oct. 26.
