Tradition: #BlesstheBall
The Homecoming game ball is going around campus so Fresno State students, faculty and staff can take photos and videos with it and send good wishes to our football team. Take part! Share your photos and videos of the game ball on social media with #BlesstheBall.

The game ball will be at Homecoming events, such as the Kickoff, but departments may put in a request here to have the ball at their event or to stop by their office.
