I replaced the pronunciation. According to Mission Trails Regional Park historians the name is pronounced 'kohls' or like "coals". Rsduhamel 08:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "S" in the late 1980s

As I recall, there was talk about repainting the "S" in the late 1980s but there was such an uproar from environmentalists that it was never actually done. Rsduhamel 03:12, 2 July 2006 (UTC) I grew up in the shadow of "S" Mountain in the 1970s and 80s, and I do not remember any attempt to restore the "S" in the late 80s due to environmentalist pressure. An elderly member of my church in the area remembers how San Diego State would send freshmen up the mountain in the late 1930s on the night of the homecoming game. The "S" at the time was visible from the upper decks of Aztec Bowl (now built over by Cox Arena). The freshmen would cover the "S" in road flares. At dusk, they would light the flares, forming a red flaming "S" for "State" on the black background of the moutain, matching the red and black colors of the college. The mountain was often referred to as "Black Mountain" at the time due to the black outline it formed in the sky at dusk, in the days before that area was built up.James shields (talk) 02:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SDSU

This may be a nitpick and I am not sure of the policy, but in 1931 SAN Diego State University did not exist; it was San Diego Teachers College or something like that. Wschart (talk) 19:57, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
