Huzzah!

After another very short day, I'm home with what amounts to a three-day weekend.

Let the wild winter rumpus begin!

Today, I'm not doing anything. Tomorrow we go over to Mom's for brunch ad gift exchange with her and my sister's family. The SoCal contingent is coming up Monday or Tuesday.

Happy Holiday of your choice!

A Christmas miracle!

San Francisco 49ers: 24
St. Louis Rams: 20


Niners sweep St Louis for the first time in years, and have now exceeded last year's win total. Poor Alex Smith still hasn't thrown a TD pass, but at least he held onto the ball and has a win in a game he started.

The real story was our rushing game, Frank Gore and Maurice Hicks combined for 178 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground. Hicks, on the first play of the game broke a simple rush for a 73 yard touchdown.

This is why I say that even if the Niners end up with the number 1 pick (which isn't likely,) we shouldn't bother with Reggie Bush. We have decent rushers, we just lack a good, solid offensive line that can open the holes they need. We also need something to shore up our defense.

Sorry, [livejournal.com profile] aurictech, for the coal in your football stocking.
