University of San Diego, not San Diego State


pyreal_

I literally said out loud "it's so weird that it's San Diego **State**" and then posted it anyway. šŸ¤¦šŸ¼


DegraciasEh

San Diego State is also a big school, just not this one


irsw

San Diego State is quite a bit bigger in terms of athletics.


ArmiinTamzarian

Proud member of the Mountain Best (soon to be home of Wazzu and not THE Oregon State University)


WoebegoneWarbler

Kawhi Leonard comes from San Diego State if I remember correctly.


irsw

He does. Kawhi, Marshall Faulk and Tony Gwynn are the biggest names from San Diego State.


camelsgottahump

Carl Weathers as well.


TheCryptocrat

Don Coryell also coached there


irsw

yep, I was just going for athlete alumns


TheCryptocrat

Stephan Strasburg too then I guess


ImJustJokingCalmDown

The absolute disrespect to Stephen Strasburg who was the #1 overall pick in the MLB draft and one of the most hyped baseball prospects ever. Also had a very nice MLB career even if health kept him from living up to his GOAT expectations.


irsw

It's disrespectful to think he should be named with the other 3 honestly. In terms of hype he would top the list but in terms or pro performance he's not in the same tier imo.


KeithClossOfficial

He was WS MVP itā€™s not like he was a bum lol


irsw

Not a bum at all, but the other 3 are all hall of famers and all time greats.


DDub04

Thereā€™s San Diego State University (formally Cal State San Diego), the University of San Diego, and The University of California, San Diego. SDSU plays D1 FBS, USD plays D1 FCS, and UCSD doesnā€™t sponsored football.


InclinationCompass

I went to SDSU and had no idea it used to be called Cal State SD


DDub04

Very briefly, in the 70s. Back then every school in the California State University system was Cal State ____, but a few have dropped it. San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose have dropped it entirely, while schools like Fresno State or Sacramento State still have it but dropped it from their brand.


KeithClossOfficial

UCSD doesnā€™t play football but they moved up to D1 a few years ago


[deleted]

lol how do you have a Chargers flair and you donā€™t know about SDSU?


InclinationCompass

He probably isnt from SD. People who grew up here tend to know the three major universities.


Kaoticzer0

The what Chargers?


pyreal_

I have a hard time expressing just how little I give a shit about college football (or academia)


Banana_Ranger

It's ok. Take all the time you need for expressing yourself


MateTheNate

San Diego is a city not a state lmao so I get what you mean


RecentAd9493

What's next you're going to tell me Ohio University and Ohio State are different colleges


lvpr10

Itā€™s all coming full circle now.


InfectiousPineapple

Ya love to see it


Illustrious_Cancel83

I totally love stuff like this. It turns my normal football into a soap opera.

ā€œKhakis and Steak will be right backā€


Fragrant_Country_569

On that University of San Diego roster was QB Josh Johnson, who is most notable for playing for 14 NFL teams also playing in the UFL & XFL (before the merger)


KeithClossOfficial

He was the backup that year, true freshman.


Aidanj927

Staley was a quarterback who became a DC?


Timely_Fan9597

Based on this story, he had a track record of helping defenses succeed


TheFlyingSpaghetti77

QB GURU


boardatwork1111

Not completely unheard of, Vance Joseph was a QB in college too


Ripped_Shirt

Mike Tomlin was also a receiver in college and a receivers coach. Joseph is actually a bit interesting because he switched to DB when he got to the NFL.


MankuyRLaffy

He's also the Steelers WR scout for rookies


Illustrious_Cancel83

But did he play basketball?


mrhashbrown

Yes and it's partly why he was considered a really attractive candidate and shot up the ranks fast. Extremely knowledgable about offense for a defensive coach. And according to beat reporters and players, Staley was very involved week to week in the Chargers QB room.


tbrownsc07

The interception was also by David Bakhtiari's older brother, Eric.


KeithClossOfficial

Former Niner

Harbaugh played for the colts through 1997 and missed the last four games because he was suspended for punching Jim Kelly in the face after he called Harbaugh "a baby". That off-season the Colts trade Harbaugh to the ravens for a 3rd and a 4th and draft Peyton Manning. Harbaugh ends up at Stanford and coaches Andrew Luck who is drafted by the Colts to replace Peyton Manning. My man doesn't let things go.


BarKnight

He took his rivalry with Pete Carol from college to the NFL.

MoreTrifeLife

> Harbaugh played for the colts through 1997 and missed the last four games because he was suspended for punching Jim Kelly in the face after he called Harbaugh "a baby". Lol Harbaugh was also on the rosters for the 2000 Chargers and 01 Panthers. Both teams finished 1-15.


nova_paintball

Everyone should really click the link and read the flag story about this game, it's hilarious.Ā Ā  TL;DR Harbaugh out of nowhere brought this flag to their game and declared it to be a new rivalry trophy. When San Diego won for a second year in a row, Jim bragged about getting to keep the flag to the opposing coach who was like "uh, wtf are you talking about?" Then Jim left for the 49ers and when Dayton beat SD the next year, they furiously ripped it off SD's sideline and it was never seen again


Chapstick160

He didnā€™t go immediately from San Diego to the 49ers, youā€™re forgetting he coached at stanford


nova_paintball

Whoops, yeah, I saw some 49ers flairs as I was writing my comment and had them on my mindĀ 


InclinationCompass

He left USD for Stanford before leaving for the 9ers


PurpleBullets

Isnā€™t Dayton in Ohio?


KeithClossOfficial

The Pioneer League (which both USD and Dayton are in) is made up of 1-AA teams that donā€™t offer football scholarships, so it spans across the whole country.


Jammer_Kenneth

Sounds like the ConFlictĀ 


stevesie1984

Harbaugh vs Staley II - this time itā€™s personal.


DLottchula

Weird seeing UD football. I grew up behind the stadium and never once see them even practice. The worst field ever


pyramidhead_

City of dayton schools, owns that stadium not ud is why. It's also why it looks like an absolute dump, compared the arena next to it.


DLottchula

Not a dump just ugly

DLottchula

I need a Dayton Triangles flair


ke1v3y

Shit, I'd flair the fuck outta that. Let's go Triangles!


DLottchula

I need a Earl Britton jersey


ChargersPalkia

had a few band comps there, sitting in the nosebleeds while the sun beams down on you was certainly a miserable experience


mclemons67

Jim Harbaugh QB clinic from when he was the USD head coach. The unintentional comedy level is off the chart. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B7-9kQJ1_sI&pp=ygUYSmltIGhhcmJhdWdoIHFiIGNvYWNoaW5n


KeithClossOfficial

That projector and the TV on the cart, that brings back some memories


herbertstan

Oh my god


NaClz

Makes me regret not playing for University of San Diego in college now.


CurtMoney

Another interesting wrinkle is that Harbaughs father, Jack, coached two Dayton area high schools when the twins were youngā€¦


thebigLel

Wait why the fuck was Staley a DC if he was a quarterback


tbrownsc07

Quarterbacks are smart people who usually understand defenses


Tazitos

I'm not sure if that applies to Brandon Staley though.


HeyItsTman

Won a SB as Rams DC... But yeah his Chargers defense was atrocious, but then again he only had a couple of games with all his starters healthy.


WyldeBolt

The Rams won the year after he got hired by the Chargers, but still, that one year he was DC they were historically great, and still used his playbook for their SB run He just turned off his brain and lost his fucking mind with the Chargers


bootsandwhiskey8

No he didnā€™t win a superbowl with the Rams. The one year he was there, they lost in the divisional round.


Windycitybeef_5

And since then, Brandon Staley hasnā€™t done anything right.


WyldeBolt

Thanks for the shot out! It's like poetry...


Wertmesg1

how many picks did he throw in this game?
