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. I was a little older at that point, so I didnt cry, at least not on the outside (same for Super Bowl 47 and the 2013 NFC Championship in Seattle. I was there for both kept the tears inside, at least while in public). Ive cheered on every quarterback from Montana to Young to Elvis Grbac to Jeff Garcia to Alex Smith to now Colin Kaepernick. From 14-2 to 6-10, Ive stayed strong. A sportswriter in college at The University of Michigan Go Blue! (yes I have conflicting emotions about the whole Jim Harbaugh thing, happy to discuss), I decided to start a blog during the 2014 season. I pace during games; I stand during the 4th quarter; I dont eat on Sundays. My dogs one of whom is named Kappy have jerseys. I am convinced my white Kaepernick jersey can be the difference between a win and a loss, while my red Kaepernick jersey is more fickle. I fly to Santa Clara from Los Angeles for every home game.

[Podcast EP #64] A Tale of Two Football Teams: The 49ers Before and After Garoppolo
Wednesday, 20 December, 2017
Jimmy Garoppolo is 3-0 as a starter for the San Francisco 49ers, and man, does this feel like a different football team than the one that started the season. And that’s mainly because it is. Garoppolo has not only solidified himself as a franchise quarterback, but he has breathed life into an offense, and into a team, that desperately needed it. With all the excitement that Garoppolo brings to Santa Clara, Eric Branch (http://www.twitter.com/Eric_Branch) of the San Francisco Chronicle joins me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) and Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) to talk about this new era of 49ers’ football and what it means for the future of the organization. We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope you enjoy it too!
