Gold Rush Update

Once again, our Bay-area correspondent Rex wrote in with a great update on the happenings in Northern California. Thanks Rex!

Last Sunday was the San Francisco 49ers’ opening day game against the Seattle Seahawks and boy, was the heat definitely on both off the field (it was crazy hot inside the stadium!) and on it as Frank Gore broke loose with two 75 yard touchdown runs and the 49ers beat the Seahawks 23-10.

Like the 49ers, the Gold Rush were also at the top of their game, with a lot of new faces appearing alongside fan favorites. The high temperatures in the stadium did nothing to curb their energy as they tirelessly entertained the Niners Faithful and cheered the team to victory. They also debuted their new alternate costume during the second half, with white shorts and a 49ers belt replacing the normal skirts they wear. I’m not sure if this was a one time deal or if the uniform will be permanent, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

My Gold Rush girl-of-the-game is Amy, a four year veteran who’s also a line captain this year. I really admired her energy and enthusiasm throughout the game; she gave both the team and her line 110% and constantly encouraged them to keep it going.
