A fresh start

Howdy BEACH fans!

I can't believe it's been nearly 4.5 years since I updated my previous Long Beach St. sports blog, LBSU 49'RS NUGGETS.  Life has really gotten in the way, but I'm ready to give it another try.

I can't seem to access the old blog to edit it, so I'm setting up a new, more modern one.  It will ultimately have all the links and stuff the old one had, and hopefully I'll be able to keep adding content at regular intervals.

I'll be providing occasional recaps of games I see in person, and links to stories on those I don't.  I also plan to post some historical content on the page (including the images below), for those not as familiar with the interesting past of 49er athletics.  

I hope you find what I put up here interesting, entertaining, and useful!  GO BEACH!! 😀

(BTW, I'll be tweaking and toying with the layout of the site for a while, so don't be too alarmed.) 

Photo taken from my phone while standing in the temporary concourse bleachers, installed before the MBB game vs. North Carolina back in November, 2012.  The additional seats brought the Pyramid's seating capacity to nearly 7000 seats!  Listed game attendance was 6912, as the Beach fell, 78-63.

Did you know Prospectin' Pete had a female counterpart?  Took this pic at Homecoming in 2016.  I suspect the mascot art is from the early/mid 1960's.
