I miss the many great Titan footbal exploits we saw in the 80′s: Damon Allen making a name for himself throwing those awesome passes to Pruitt and company. Mike Pringle running up the middle setting incredible rushing records. Mark Collins getting drafted by the NFl champs Giants. What about that injustice when Fullerton was snubbed by our local Freedom Bowl despite being ranked #25 by Sports Illustrated? Man, we woudl have filled the Big A to the brim!
I dont expect Titan footbal to return at the Division 1 level but, hey, even D2 or 3 would be a great first step. Sign me up for season tickets!

Im now entering college and a school with a football team is a big deal. It keeps schools on the map, and it would be awesome to see Fullerton with its team back.

Even though I’m a CSULB graduate, I went to CSUF for 2 years. I remember well the plaque at the school honoring the three football coaches who died in that plane crash. When I later met Dallas Moon’s son (David’s bro), I instantly recalled that plaque and “the story” – what a heartbreak for so many people.

It would be an honor to Coaches Moon, Hannah, and O’Hara for CSUF to bring back Titan football. There are certainly enough area high school football teams to recruit enough players.

Most Sincerely,

My Dad was Dallas Moon and he was killed in the 1971 plane crash that took Joe O’Hara and Bill Hannah. My brother and I were with my Dad all summer, shagging balls, being “coaches kids” at Titan practices and games. Coach Coury and all the players were so good to us, before and after the crash. I remember you, Marshall, and all you players were like my big buddies. I, too, have many great memories of Titan Football.It was a shame football got dropped, and it’s time to bring the team back.

I played on the first two teams in 1970 and 1971. Very special. Played Grambling at Grambling then the next year at the Coliseum before 64,000. Almost beat them in 1970. The Mercy Bowl game was played to raise money for our three coaches killed in a plane crash was very emotional. We beat Fresno State in the game. That year, Fresno St. beat San Jose, who beat Stanford, who beat Michigan in the Rose bowl so we figured that we could beat Michigan. It was a very special group of athletes and coaches who in the first two years played for the conference championship both years. Our head coach Dick Coury was an NFL assis. coach for many years. Many, many great memories. Bring the team back.

It will be great to see a division 1 team in the Orange County area, and maybe join the Pac-10 conference =).

Bring back the CSUF football team, because it will be a great opportunity for the Orange County Locals, who want to stay close by and play football.
