Cal Poly Who?

[vintagegoof]

So. Now it looks like we have an unknown, Cal Poly, at the top of the leader board for the Big West at 8-0 in conference play.
Not to worry though, "The Beach" is right behind them at 6-1 the first battle going to Cal Poly.
I dunno how do you think Brian is going to attack this one?
Matters worse, the new head coach from CAl Poly is an X alumni of UCLA. Will this be a nail biter of a match?

Pismo Beach had a clam festival last weekend. Did anyone go? Has anyone dug the sand for clams?

(Pismo Beach is close to San Luis Obispo)

I have dug in the sand for clams. You really have to be fast.

Not just in the Big West. Poly is #12 in this weeks Pablo and #14 in the RKRPI.

If the beachless wins this match, they assure themselves no worse than an unshared second in conference depending on how they do against UCSB the next night. If they lose then they will either be 2nd or tied for 2nd again depending on how they do against UCSB Saturday night.

This will be the toughest weekend of the year for the beachless. They will be away at Pablo #12 and #25. And the UCSB/beachless game is going to be televised on CSTV, which means we might actually get 10 students out to see the team.

Go Gauchos Go Poly

I'm wondering about that too. There are two California State University campuses known as "Cal Poly". The Cal Poly Pomona Broncos have a D-II women's VB team.

For the same reason UC Berkley calls themselves "California" and SW Missouri St. changed their name to Missouri St even though there is also a SE Missouri St.

Back in the day, there was only one "University of California" campus, and it was in Berkeley. Texas State used to be Southwest Texas State.

The freakiest suggestion I've heard is renaming San Jose State as "California State".

Go State! is the independent statewide voice for California State University (CSU) athletics. Gostate.org advocates restoration of San Jose State's identity as the oldest and original California State (1862) insitution of higher learning, and rebranding of Spartan athletics under the "California State" identity. GoState.org also supports the development of stronger CSU identities at other CSU campuses, particularly the football schools, to aid in the development of a stronger national academic and athletic identity for the California State University system.

"The Day" must have been a LONG time ago.

Answer: Yes, 1866. The "Southern Branch" of the University of California was opened in 1919 (changed to "University of California at Los Angeles" in 1927). UC Davis was before that, but was not named "UC" until later.
