Rough day to be a Bulldogs fan.
Jeff Tedford, the head coach of the Fresno State football program, announced Monday he has stepped down due to concerns about his health.
In five seasons with the Bulldogs, the 62-year-old Tedford had a 44-22 record and also won two Mountain West Conference championships and four bowls. Under his leadership, Fresno State managed to rank in the AP Top 25 two times at the end of a season.

“It is with sad emotions that following my recent medical checkup, it is clear that due to health concerns, my family and I have made the decision to step aside as Fresno State’s head coach and allow someone else to lead the football program,” said Tedford in an official statement.

Truly sad stuff to see and right before the season at that.
Also, on a lighter note, and since we’re on the subject of college football, be on the lookout for a giveaway from me where somebody will win a copy of “EA Sports College Football 25.”
Just found out I’m getting my PS5 a day early (tomorrow).
My whole week is about to be shut down. I’m literally only gonna do the bare minimum (paid work) and that’s it, lmao! ‘EA Sports College Football 25’ is here!
And I’m thinking… Should I give away a copy to celebrate?

I’m in such a grade-A mood that I can’t help myself … I’ve waited 11 long years for this moment.
