My journey as the 49ers Fangirl began on January 14, 1990. It was on that day that as a young girl, I traveled to San Francisco with my family for the 1989 NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. A native Angeleno, I was rooting for the Rams. Then at some point, in the middle of the second quarter, I turned to my mom and said, “I love Joe Montana.” And that was it. I became a die-hard, gold-blooded Niner Faithful and never looked back. Tracy Sandler and San Francisco 49ers and 49ers Fan GirlAs a teenage girl, I watched every game, dressed in good luck outfits on game days – even if those days were Monday and I had school, educated my teenage girlfriends about Steve Young and Elvis Grbac, while discussing Tom Rathman, Jerry Rice, and Ricky Watters with my teenage guy friends. I cried when the Niners lost to the Giants in the 1990 NFC Championship game – damn Matt Bahr field goal! Instead of a Sweet 16, I went to Dallas for the NFC Championship game, which did not turn out nearly as well as the Rams game...

[Podcast EP #36] Oh 49ers. You’ve Got Work to Do. Like a Lot of It.
Well 49er fans, week three of the 2016 NFL season has come and gone, and things are looking a lot like 2015. The Niners are 1-2 and were embarrassed on the road against an NFC West rival. They looked entirely unprepared, as the Seattle Seahawks bulldozed right over them on their way to a 37-18 victory, and it was really never that close. The only bright spots for San Francisco were two 4th quarter touchdowns by running back Carlos Hyde and he is pretty much the offense at this point. Fans are calling for a quarterback change, but head coach Chip Kelly says not yet. What else is there to say really? It was a bad game, but we’re a podcast, so we still found plenty to discuss. Even so, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) thought we’d bring in a different perspective. On today’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, we are joined by writer and Seattle fan Danielle Campoamor (http://www.twitter.com/DCampoamor) to talk about: - The 49ers vs. Seahawks and whether or not it still matters - Christine Michel’s breakout game - The Kaepernick vs. Gabbert debate - Steph and I on the Kelly train - How we still miss Jim Harbaugh - And which defense will show up to Levi’s Stadium for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. It’s been a tough couple of weeks in Ninerland, but chin up Faithful, it’s only week four. That is potentially good news and bad news. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and my podcast. And make sure you enter for a chance to win two tickets to the 49ers vs. Saints at Levi’s Stadium on Nov. 6. http://fangirlsportsnetwork.com/nfl/49ersfangirl/podcasts-49ersfangirl/oh-49ers-youve-got-work-to-do-like-a-lot-of-it
