Too bad our (CSULB) football team was disbanded.

OMG, are you going back a long ways.

I go back to Tark the Shark at CSULB, as well as Lute Olsen (at LBCC). I also had the privilege of meeting Coach Allen on several occasions during his stint as a 49er coach.

We were robbed in that game against UCLA!! (not that I hold a grudge ;)

BTW, the Niner band always did a great version of the Anthem in those days as well.

I go back to the Tark and Olsen days as well. Tark made a trip back to LB this month and got a standing ovation from the fans. Many of his players like Chuck Terry, Eric McWilliams, and George Trapp were there for him. Ed Ratleff was absent but goes to most home games.

BTW, the CSULB acronym will be replaced by Long Beach State or simply The Beach.

Yup, we were robbed by the refs against UCLA.
