Yes, we seem like we would like a strong west coast brand. No, Fresno State and San Diego State are not strong brands.
Agreed, but this is from the Fresno State page. Representing the central valley.....maybe the actually are a fit....
Facts about the Central Valley (United States Geological Survey)
More than 250 different crops are grown in the Central Valley with an estimated value of $17 billion per year
Approximately 75% of the irrigated land in California and 17% of the nation's irrigated land is in the Central Valley
Using fewer than 1% of U.S. farmland, the Central Valley supplies 8% of American agricultural output (by value) and produces 1/4 of the Nation's food, including 40% of the Nation's fruits, nuts, and other table foods.
The predominate crop types are cereal grains, hay, cotton, tomatoes, vegetables, citrus, tree fruits, nuts, table grapes, and wine grapes.
About 20% of the Nation's groundwater demand is supplied from pumping Central Valley aquifers, making it the second-most-pumped aquifer system in the United States
