I came across some Brandon Lloyd highlights recently.
One of them was a bomb against Seattle. I told my brother that the QB of that throw is the current OC for the Bills....
Speaking of former Niner QBs.....which former Niner QB did we face off briefly in one of our ~10 NFC Championship Games? (he came in because of injury then was sent back out)

I'm very disappointed with this place. Has anyone here ever heard of the 49ers? They're football team. In the NFL. From San Francisco.
Thought it was Santa Clara.

do we still call the ladies the Gold Rush?
if you think about it, gold rush implies that those ladies are rushing for your gold, which is perhaps not the message we want to be associated with
we should call em the Gold Diggers
the 69ers and the Gold Diggers

THL... it's because of the song Clementine.. that's where they got the 49ers from..
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine

I feel like I knew that fact but somehow forgot it lol. The lyrics to that song are so sad:(. Poor Clem.
The 9ers fumbled 10x in one game, which game or year did this occur? :P

Matt Cavanaugh in 1990?
The 49ers record for most penalties is 22.. who did we play that day? Hint: we had a 4-0 record entering the game.
