Niners Opening Night

You know your team has made it when they're on Monday Night Football -- especially opening week! What a blessing to have the opportunity to be able to be there to pay live tribute to the man they called "The Genius." Though the tribute was somewhat petty and most non-climactic... it was a tribute nonetheless.

Good ol' Candlestick. The eerie winds and echos flowing in and out of the passages that carried so many fond memories of the past. We sat in the lower bowl, inside the infamous Orange Seat section where the bleachers conveniently block our view of half the action. This section is also where the scantily dressed, yet abundantly talented Gold Rush enters and exits.

Highlight of the night wasn't the Niners victory. It wasn't walking through the tunnel and seeing the green of the grass, the brown of the dirt, or the red of the jerseys. It wasn't teaching Francisco the intricacies of the American Football. Nor was it seeing for the very first time, F-14's timing their fly-by's at the exact moment of the National Anthem (though that was very cool). The highlight of the evening was when Erica and Anna said, "We miss tutoring. Wish we can have it back."

Final Score:
49ers 20
Cardinals 17

And that....was Opening Night for the 49ers. We are officially, undefeated.
