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 #42] With 49ers, Who Knows What Will Happen
Welp, it looks like the game against the Arizona Cardinals was an anomaly, as the San Francisco 49ers were back to their old ways against the New England Patriots. It’s not that I thought they’d win, but I did think they could build upon the positives from the Cardinals game and compete. But, no. So, the Niners are now 1-9 and have tied a franchise record losing nine in a row. Congratulations? I don’t think so. Once again, San Francisco looked good in the first half and fell apart in the second. Maybe the games really are too long. Either way, here’s where we are. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) are joined by our fearless leader, Niners Nation’s David Fucillo (http://www.twitter.com/NinersNation). We delve into all things 49ers, including: - A recap of the Patriots game, because we wanted to torture ourselves and rehash that - The reality of Trent Baalke being the 49ers General Manager next year and - Chip Kelly being the coach - Why we think Kelly deserves another year - Who we would draft right now if we had to pick - The upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins - And the various teams 49er fans should be rooting for in the coming weeks. Six weeks to go my Faithful friends. As always, we are in this together.
