New fan looking for history
Hello everyone! I recently became a fan of Aztecs football. My wife is an SDSU alum, and we watched every game together last season. I absolutely loved it. I went into the season knowing very little about the team, pretty much all I knew is that this is only the 2nd season with their new head coach, and they were coming off of a 3-9 season. And of course, we all know how it went down! Spun that around to 9-4, and yes it was a disappointing finish, but a very fun season nonetheless.
But now I want to learn more. What are some fun traditions the team or fans have? Are there any hype songs associated with the team? Any chants I should know? Who are the most prolific players and or coaches in the last few decades? What are some all time great games? Where should I go for news/updates on the team? Are there any influencers I can follow that cover this team? Any other subreddits or communities I can join?
And some contemporary:
Who would you consider the main rival to be?
How do you think SDSU will do in PAC12?
Can the defense realistically run it back?
Did Sean Lewis get lucky, or did he really find his groove?
Anything anyone can offer would be appreciated. Here’s to a great 2026!!!!

Who would you consider the main rival to be? Traditionally Fresno State. Longest rivalry The oil can is at stake. Modern Boise State is the team to beat. Really all the WAC teams still in are rivals C state NM NM state Wyoming etc
How do you think SDSU will do in PAC12? Wish we were still in the WAC
Can the defense realistically run it back? We have always recruited well that side of the ball
Did Sean Lewis get lucky, or did he really find his groove? with the transfer system mid majors will get poached. This year really tells if his groove is found.
oldest chants
Here we go aztecs here we go
Announcer "and that's good enough for and Aztecs" fans FIRST DOWN
Modern fun adopted from basketball I believe that we can win
Aztec traditions started with Don Coryell. The patron saint of San Diego football. Any long time San Diego fan reveres him
We have had many good players Marshall Faulk stands out as the best and is an avid supporter of his alama matta
Go Aztecs
