Long Beach State Sports : Re: Monson Lovers Please Don’t Read This

the beach should be kept and used as it was inteneded to be used -- our women's tennis team has used since the 90's -- our women's volleyball team has used since the 90's - and now used by our women's beach volleyball team -- we are the 49ers in all other sports accept baseball ---- GO 49ers ---------------------

In the past decade the loss of the 49ers and Prospector Pete combined with mediocre basketball teams have created a loss of season ticket holders and loss of donors.

Let's hope with a new President with help for our AD and boosters we can somehow bring back the 49ers and Pete and dump the Shark and Beach.

In contrast our baseball continues to be identified as the Dirtbags. Despite the fact the team has struggled in recent years the Dirtbags continue to lead the state of Ca in attendance with many season ticket holders. In addition, the Dirtbag program has received multiple large donations to upgrade Blair Field this past decade.

David. I totally agree with you. Some on this board love to be unnecessarily critical. Dan had open practices we could attend. He is a good man.
He deserves respect. He has moved on.

Now with what is happening at LBSU it is no better. In my opinion it is worse. I'm a not talking about the coach. I am talking about how LBSU handles matters in general. The lack of money. Loss of donors, season tickets holders, long time fans, and local corporate donors. Also no history. In many areas academics has also lower standards. It appears the Shark Lab will be shut down, due to lack of funding. LBSU has been recognized nationally for the research it has accomplished. Last week on a hot mike game announcers mentioned Long Beach State Beach Beach and how crazy that sounds.
Jane is leaving but not soon enough. A lot of damage has been done.
