CSULB Sharks?

My alma mater now sounds like a five-year-olds’ AYSO soccer team name with its new shark mascot. Why not just go with CSULB Ladybugs or CSULB Snowflakes? Or were those names already taken?

At least they already have a fight song, “Baby shark, do do do do, baby shark, do do do do, Long Beach Sharks, do do do do do. Cal State Sharks, do do do do, Cal State Sharks, do do do do .

They can call themselves whatever they want, but I will always be a 49er.

Kimberly Irwin

You both nailed it. Once a 49er always a 49er, who wants to be shark anyway?

I am an alum as well. You should be proud that they have world-leading research on sharks in the marine biology department. Yes, it’s different than what we graduated with but depending on your age, the school colors have changed as well. And there used to be a football team. The school is evolving!
