Under construction

As you can tell, this page is still under construction. I'm basically writing the thing from scratch, and it's sort of on hold for the moment. Still technically in the works though. Just thought I'd offer some sort of explanation for the emptiness since Seancp added a link from the CSULB article and added it to the college baseball project. --Foolishgrunt (talk) 17:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like its going to be an excellent article! If you need some ideas or assistance then come on over to the college baseball project. Also, here are probably the two best college baseball team articles on Wikipedia in case you were looking for some ideas: Miami Hurricanes baseball and LSU Tigers baseball. Also check out: Wikipedia:WikiProject College baseball/Articles for a more thorough list. Seancp (talk) 17:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biggest single-season turnaround?

I'm thinking the Dirtbags' turnaround of 14-45 in '88 to 50-15 in '89 stands a good chance to be the biggest single-season turnaround in NCAA baseball history, but I can't prove it and I don't know where to find that kind of information. Numerous Google searches turned up no relevant information, at least in the realm in college baseball. If anybody can point me in the right direction, I'd be glad for the help.--Foolishgrunt (talk) 06:45, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, ESPN.com has a piece on the Dirtbags and how they came to be. Article might confirm your assertion about the 14-45 to 50-15 turnaround. Article also states that "Dirtbags" is the official name of the team now.

Official vs. Common nickname

@Jweiss11, MisterCake, Billcasey905, Rikster2, Ejgreen77, Bagumba, and Jrcla2: You are all being pinged due to your experience. I've already talked with DL.

The team is referred to as the "Dirtbags" [1] however, the official name, and as the rest of the athletic dept. goes by, is the Long Beach State 49ers. So, should we go by the official name (49ers) or should we keep them as the Dirtbags? "Dirtbags" may be the more WP:COMMONNAME, but I'm thinking that official name should be used. I don't know much about this topic so that is why the discussion has been started. Corkythehornetfan 20:01, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
