I live in SF and happen to live a few blocks away from Kezar Stadium, the home field for the 9ers way back in the day. They had a fan day practice there today that I stumbled upon on my way back from a trip to the park. Figured I'd stop in and check it out.
I watched the introductions and it might as well have been a Division IIA squad as even the faithful 9er fans around me had looks on their faces that said, "who??" with nearly every introduction. There was one guy I had never heard of that got an exuberant welcome from a few people nearby, but it must been his parents. Barlow brought the house down when his name was read, second only to Bryant Young. Next best was Dorsey. Pathetic.
Cedric Wilson, apparently the 9ers next WR great , grabbed the mic to say that he needs help learning how to call a time out (remember that Rams game I think it was?). He tried to start a wave with people doing the time out signal. Very awkward.
I couldn't even stay long enough to actually see them practice. I think it's going to be a long season for the 49er faitful.
