A ride on the fire truck was just the beginning, over 6,000 fans packed into Beiden Field for the NCAA Title Celebration. The overflow crowd stood outside the infield.
The players were absolutely stunned so many people showed up.
The bulldogs haven't slept much since winning the national championship but the crowd gave them a big dose of adrenalin.

Steve Detwiler, Bulldog right-fielder: "This is amazing. This is awesome. I've never seen anything like this in my life. This is absolutely insane.

The Diamond Dogs soaking it all in at Beiden Field, stunned by the sea of red. They were so appreciative of the support. It had the feel of a big game but we all knew the result.
Fresno State will forever be known as the 2008 NCAA National Champions.
The noise the crowd generated probably reached the level of a jet engine. Plenty of ringing ears but what a party.
