Around SBN: Iron Bowl Thoughts... Right Now

Golden Nuggets: Alright, the sleep thing worked.. kind of.

So it worked to an extent, the sleeping thing. I woke up and Tom Rathman was hired--but as our RB coach. Hey, no complaints here. Good choice I think. At any rate I'm hoping that if I go to sleep now I'll wake up and a new OC will be crowned, but the hot rumor is that the OC we have our eyes on is currently in the playoffs. Huh.. At any rate, I'm going to try out something Fooch suggested to me earlier today, which is to try and include some links to other bay area SBNation blogs for other sports and I think its a great idea throughout the offseason, I'll put up a poll as well and see what you guys want the most. At any rate, here's your links and lets all hope Rathman still has it.

Here's two links about our newly hired RB coach Tom Rathman. These are just announcement articles but both writers give a few opinions and look at the OC position. Here and here. (SFGate.com)

More on that here. The only news today is pretty much ya know, the Rathman thing so you'll see a few repeats, take your pick. (MercuryNews.com)

And here from Barrows. (SacBee.com)

The 49ers defend pat-down searches at the 'Stick. (SFGate.com)

So... the polls over at our resident Packers blog are indicating that yes, people there want Nolan as their DC. Hm.. Thoughts? (AcmePackingCompany.com)

So here's where I'll try and throw up some non-related links, I'm a bit out of touch with other sports these days but I know news when I see it. (Shut up, don't you argue with me.)

The Warriors can hang with the Lakers, this is true... but it wasn't enough, sucks regardless, eh? (GoldenStateOfMind.com)

I really love these stories of a player returning to a team and seeing the fan reactions--this ones a nice little story about Giambi. (AthleticsNation.com)

I left it with just those two links because I'm unsure of exactly what you want so I'm throwing up a poll. Also, feel free to express opinions in the comments. (What team you want OR if you would NOT like to see any other teams in the Nuggets etc. IE; have the other links after a jump, perhaps?)

Sacramento Kings

It’s been Kings and 49ers for life. Only problem is you can only really talk about the draft for the Kings too.

Baseball is just boring. Hockey is for cold places… not California.

Could include the San Jose Earthquakes.

Better off just sticking to the 49ers.

The Earthquakes is the only team there that doesn’t have an SB blog. I’ve been hoping to see MLS get some SB support, but the MLS bloggership isn’t exactly overflowing with people.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

none needed

i think we can find the other blogs if we want to. keep this about the 49ers only.

offseason

This is more of an offseason thing. Links at times can be pretty limited in the downtime so I figured it’d help give a little more substance.

If you really think its necesary...

If you are going to occasionally link other teams, how about some love for the Sacramento Kings. Or stuff about the other teams in the division. But i think its just fine to stick with Niner info.

The Warriors

Ever since I got kicked out of GSoM, I haven’t found another Warriors place that I actually half enjoyed. I say the Warriors to outnumber the dinky kings fans here.
I can’t stand the posts at GSoM that critique Nellie by bandwagon fans and can’t reposnd to any of them.
Plus, McCovey is great for Giant’s stuff, as Fear the Fin is great for the Sharks.
GSoM’s writers are ignorant too.
Let’s see some Warrior stuff in this depressing season.

MURS for President!!!!!!!

Blind devotion.

None!

If it’s not related to the Niners, keep it off Niner Nation!

Seconded

This is a niners blog site, keep it to the niners!
If however I get outvoted on this, then it has got to be the Sharks. NHL is the only other American sport worth watching. Baseball and Basketball are just boring.

Thirded

Going to the other blogs is a few clicks away, plus the Niners are the only Bay area team I am a huge fan of. I would prefer general big NFL news that could at some point impact the Niners during the next season. I think Pacman reactions on the cowboys blog would be PRICELESS

Blind devotion.

Fourthed

I agree with keeping it a Niners and stuff that relates to the Niners blog (plus as an east coaster I could really care less about most of those teams, with the exception being the Kings… but they haven’t been fun to follow in years, and football and the Niners are my only diehard sports obsession).

But what might help fill up the Golden Nuggets, kind of what Prof mentioned, would be news about next year’s oppenents. So any big news dealing with the division teams, plus the other 10 teams. I know that’s a lot to follow, but that would be more relevant to us Niners fans, IMHO.
