Long Beach State Athletics!: Insulting - Smitherin needs to address this honestly

pawning this off on the fires is simply a huge insult to those affected by the disaster.

There is a huge AVP event in Huntington Beach in May, there is the MPSF in Huntington Beach In APril

somebody associated with this 'excuse' in the press release needs to come clean and be upfront.

it's a really bad reflection on OC Sports Commmission and Long Beach State. really bad. unprepared.

so pissed

NCAA announced per discussions with OC Sports Commission, will be in Gulf Shores in 2025.

Wow, not a good thing for Long Beach, as host for the event.

who knows why, whether it's OC / Huntington Beach droppping the ball?

jeez, with so many SoCal players on the Beach team. was going to be the first for SoCal.

wonder what this does for 2026. how in hades can a site/location with all the necessary infrastructure bail out of this? and with so many past champions (USC/UCLA/Beach/Pepperdine) coming from SoCal.
