Tonight, 49er Men's Basketball tries to get back on track against their rivals from Cal State Fullerton, one of the hottest road teams in the Big West. Tipoff is at 7pm at the Walter Pyramid. Then on Saturday, the Beach takes on it's "sponsored" rival, UC Irvine, in the immortal battle for the Surfboard, at 7pm in the Bren Center. Women's hoops also plays Saturday at the Pyramid against Irvine, in perhaps their best remaining shot at victory this season, starting at 5pm.
Comment: I don't know about you, but MY rival as a 49er has always been the Titans. The schools even have a rivalry trophy...the Victory Bell, which was competed for in football, and which CSUF own in perpetuity since winning the last FB game between the two teams back in 1991. I've never really considered UCI as a rival, more like an occasionally annoying neighbor down the street. I guess "Black & Blue" sounds better than "Black & Orange", though.
Men's Volleyball has its first MPSF road trip of the season this weekend, playing at Stanford and Pacific. The Cardinal are much improved, and will be a stiff challenge.
Finally, a big "Welcome Back" to Erica Chidester, who returns to 49er Women's Volleyball as a part of Brian Gimmilaro's coaching staff for next season. Erica has been coaching and doing grad work at LaVerne most recently.
