I woke up this morning with a rather sore back and rather sore knees. So I went ahead and sent Fooch an email, asking if it would reflect badly on the site if I didn't go to the press box yesterday for the 49ers vs. Seahawks game. I then went on Facebook, looked at Fooch's last post, and found what seemed to be a vaguely drunk-ish update at around one in the morning.
So obviously he wasn't answering my texts anytime soon, and I was on my way to the game. That being said, I'm awfully glad I went ... the press box is a wicked good time, despite the fact that very little 49ers discussion actually went down until just before kickoff (found myself discussing the 'Watch The Throne' album with the woman next to me). Aside from the fact that the food is delicious, the view is the best, and I have plenty of unique angles I'm going to be writing about at SB Nation Bay Area today. So stick around for that. I'm just going to get to your links for the day, folks ... enjoy!
