Lucky Thirteen

Well, I’m hoping for an entertaining win for game 13.  Mainly because I’m taking my son, shelling out some hard (yeah, really) earned scratch, and making the drive all the way to the house that Stoneham built. Yes, the Stick, the Stinkhole, the mudpit, nee Monster Park. Site of many many MANY football games in my life.

Last game I saw was the Seattle game on Dec 12th vs Seattle. Near the end of Aluminum Mike Singletary’s tenure. The Niners trounced Seattle  40-21. No contest. However, I’ll never forget the 1st time I went to the Stick for a football game. They had the ever-lime-green and deadly astroturf installed for the ‘coronation’ of the 49ers moving to Candlestick from Kezar in 1971, after closing the rim around the stadium, which previously was open in the outfield. They might as well have played in the parking lot for all the padding there was on that field. It was the Minnesota game the last week of the 1972 season. Steve Spurrier (the man who cursed the #11) quarterbacked the Niners to the brink of the playoffs but they needed a win to get in.  All he could muster thru 3 quarters was 6 points, and the Niners were down 17-6. In stepped John Brodie, who had been hurt and had missed the previous 8 games.  He calmly and coolly led 2 4th quarter scoring drives. One to Gene Washington on a 25 yard strike, and the 2nd being a post route to Dick Whitcher as time was winding down. Luckily we were sitting in the south end zone, where the 4th quarter TDs took place. The place went nuts as the Niners made the playoffs. I’ll conveniently end the good feelings here.

So, flash forward to now, and . . . ?  Are we on the brink on another new age of dominant 49er football? Will the decision to start KaepernicK be forever called Harbaugh’s folly? Will it be his downfall? Will Harbaugh switch back to Smith if the Miami game doesn’t go well? Strange days indeed. And to coin a phrase from Mr. Mojo Risin, with a Miner 49er  connection, weird scenes inside the gold mine. . .

Go Niners! And go Kappy!

    Fucking Moss blew my flea-flicker prediction for a TD. That pass was on the money. Catch the goddamn ball you old fart. Frank the Cat predicted that as well. Frank knows his shit. Who do you think gives me all my horse racing tips?

  5. Alleykat's avatar Alleykat says:

    Frank Gore over a 1,000 yards with that run for the 6th time in his career.Congrats Frank!

    Good luck beating Pete Carroll at home. We’re gonna have to cheat. Just like he did when he was at USC,,,

      I’m looking forward to another year of “What’s Your Deal?” Not saying that it will happen, but there is no one who deserves it more than Pete the Cheat.

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        As much as I hate that SOB, I respect the hell out of him in the same regard. “If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.” Pete tries likes a motherfucker…

  7. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Again we are letting a team stay with us late in the game. I hope we don’t end up with the same result as the Rams game.

  8. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    21, shit. Just put an “S” on Gore’s chest and be done with it. He put the team on his back on this drive.

    Gore almost pounds it in

  10. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Great block by Delanie on that Frank run. Punch this fucker in…TD DIXON!!!

  11. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Tarell: it’s better to be lucky than good. That should have been a TD.

  12. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    If they got Jacobs for short yardage, it was dumb to begin with.

  13. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Delanie missed ANOTHER tackle on that Tanehill run. Bad angle and pursuit.
    Have i mentioned I want his sorry ass gone next year?

    Culliver with a beautiful play. Eric Wright-worthy, and when I say that, that is utter admiration.

  16. NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

    We got two safeties covering the backs? Where’s the deep help on these go routes?

  17. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    The Dolphins are not giving up here. Our defense had better make a play…

  18. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Culliver makes #11 proud with a great PD. And I’m talking Steve Spurrier and his Gamecocks. Not Alex Smith. He just sucks cock.

  19. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Time for Fangio and his crew to come up with a stand. And I’m not talking Stephen King’s “The Stand.” Stop somebody!!!

    Huge 4th down play here.
