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 #62] The 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo Era Begins Sunday
Hello 49ers Faithful. It’s official. Jimmy Garoppolo will start Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Kyle Shanahan informed his quarterbacks earlier today. When C.J. Beathard left Sunday’s game with knee and hip injuries, Garoppolo came in and dazzled. He was in for three plays, but those three plays were a four yard scramble, a nine yard pass to Aldrick Robinson, and a 10-yard TD to Louis Murphy. Like I said, he dazzled. With Beathard getting beat up week after week and not being 100%, it is no surprise that Shanahan has decided to see what Garoppolo can do. For his career, Garoppolo is 65 of 96 for 708 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Here we go. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, TheFootballGirl.com’s Melissa Jacobs joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to talk all things Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers. It was at the end of the podcast that we got the breaking news that would Garoppolo would start Sunday, so that was good timing. Listen to hear: • Our predictions for Sunday’s starter before we knew for sure • Our thoughts on the matchup with the Chicago Bears • Our take on the Eli Manning benching • And a lot about Jimmy Garoppolo.
