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 #37] Will the Real 49ers Please Stand Up
Hello 49er fans. We are heading into week five of the NFL season, and the San Francisco 49ers continue to struggle. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, the 49ers fell apart in the second half, losing 24-17 and dropping to 1-3. And that wasn’t the worst part. NaVorro Bowman tore his Achilles and is out for the season, which is nothing short of a devastating loss for San Francisco. The show must go on. It’s a short week and the Arizona Cardinals come to Levi’s Stadium for an NFC West showdown Thursday night. Both teams are 1-3. Both teams need to win, badly. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) are joined by CSN Bay Area’s Mindi Bach (http://www.twitter.com/MBachCSN) to talk about Sunday’s game and preview this week’s. We focus on a lot of areas, including: • The loss of Bowman and what it means beyond Sundays (or Thursdays or Mondays) • The inconsistencies in both the 49ers’ offense and defense • What the 49ers need to do to at least somewhat turn this around • Wide Receiver Jeremy Kerley • Rooking Cornerback Rashard Robinson • What the 49ers are missing that was abundant a few short years ago, and no, it’s not just talent. • And how we see things going on Thursday.
