The Vikings Are Coming – Part I

VS.

In one hour, the Vikings will join the 49er’s at Candlestick Park. Last preseason we went to Minnesota and got beat up. I hope today’s re-match has a better outcome. For the 49ers, I mean.

I know our boys have been preparing hard for this game – all week-long. They aren’t the only ones.

Did you know Fans prepare for each game as well? I’ve done my voodoo fan magic for today’s game – I’ve got on my 49er jersey and red nail-polish. My 49er pillow-pet and blanket are on the couch. Hubby made popcorn the other night. Add leftover BBQ ribs, veggies & chips, and we have fuel for the game. And of course we have beer, duh! Hubby likes Bud Light and I like Barg’s diet root-beer.

What have YOU done for them lately?

GO NINERS!

Better Luck Next Time, Alex

Against another team that is.

Were Coach Reid and Alex Smith trying to humiliate the 49ers? Did they forget this was pre-season football and they needed to evaluate their non-starters? Sure, the 49ers were tailing behind the Chiefs 98% of the game.

Considering that our 2nd & 3rd string players were out there against the Chief’s starting line-up, I think we held our own quite well.

I especially enjoyed how the game ended. 🙂

WAY TO GO NINERS!!

Was That a Real 49er Game?

I wasn’t expecting this – it didn’t even feel like football.

Now I’ve been in the mood for football for months. This week I have worn all of my 49er shirts. Today I was so jazzed about tonight’s game that I reminded everyone I dealt with while running errands in town to watch it. Most people had no clue pre-season was even starting and I was happy to fill them in.

Then, as I watched the game, it didn’t feel real to me. Something wasn’t right, maybe a few things even. Get this – I was more bothered by the fact it didn’t feel like football, then watching Denver beat us.

See what I mean? That is not me.

I planned to post about tonight’s game, but I didn’t have anything interesting to say. I’m staring at the blank “New Post” form, uninspired. And then, as if a lightening bolt zapped my brain, I FIGURED IT OUT! It’s not often that I am struck by sudden insight (or lightening), so I had to take a break and do a little happy dance, then get myself a soda before returning to my blank post and telling y’all about it. 😉

Reasons tonight’s game did not feel right:

Who are those people? The only player’s I knew played in the 1st possession. Then they left the field and strangers came on. I knew there were new player’s and rookies coming aboard, that happens every year. I don’t remember so many new names and faces all at once. Am I getting old, or are we firing more people in the off-season?
What happened to Coach? He looks like Jim Harbaugh, but he’s either been swapped out by aliens or put on some serious medication.
Where are the fans? Have the stadium folks started selling the Candlestick Park’s seats already? So sad to see so many empty spaces…
Film Crew. Someone please tell the cameraman that he’s supposed to be filming the game and not the cheerleaders. This must be pre-season for cheerleaders also – there were so freaking many of them.
Peyton Manning. If I wanted to constantly see all his stats, interviews and re-winded plays, I’d be a Bronco’s fan.

Whew! I feel better now. Thanks for listening. 🙂
