    I think "the Beach" is how they now refer to their teams. I just read somewhere that the 49er name has been phased out the last 5 years. The mascot itself is now a shark.

    Prospector Pete is apparently a symbol of genocide to the LBSU students and administration.

    So the San Francisco 49ers are likely to change names before the Redskins, Indians, Chiefs and Braves? That would be something.

    LBSU was founded in 1949 - the mascot was intended to commemorate the opening of the university more so than the Forty-Niners a century earlier. Charlotte also calls themselves the 49ers because their university was saved from the chopping block back in 1949.

    Hoping LBSU stays the dirtbags on the diamond!

    well, here we go again. If you subtract Texas and OK from the Big 12, they really have ZERO big brand name programs left in the conference. I mean Ok State is occasionally decent, and the rest of the teams have 1 or 2 good years every decade....but all in all the Big 12 would look very mid-major in Football.

    if this happens, follow on moves will occur to shore up B12 football, and this would surely trickle down to basketball.

    Thinking the BE is entirely insulated from this wave of realignment, but the overall BBall landscape may change around us.
