Spartan Basketball Goes "STATE"

Spartan basketball at San Jose's California State University (CSU) campus has gone "STATE" this year, with great new jerseys featuring that powerful brand, commonly associated with the oldest "State University" school in a state. San Jose's CSU has often been referred to simply as "STATE" throughout its history. And the Spartans have won most of the home games they've played with these jerseys on.

So please give Coach Nessman or anyone else at Spartan athletics a quick call or email, and tell them to expand the use of this powerful brand for Spartan athletics. They'll be happy to hear from you!

GO STATE!

UCLA Bruin Suggests "Cal State Spartans"

A UCLA Bruin recently posted a suggestion on the http://www.spartanthunder.com message board suggesting that San Jose, as the original and oldest CSU campus, market its sports teams as the "Cal State Spartans". Calling it a "no-brainer". Alumni from other schools like Berkeley, CSU Fullerton and Sonoma State have also expressed strong support for this.

The CSU Spartans have been advocating exactly that for over 2 years now, but have met resistance from the anti-California alumni who still dominate "San Jose State".
