Too bad the gold rush wasn’t in 1869.

The name change for the team would spice things up a bit!

And if they still sucked, at least they can say that’s what they’re supposed to do!;)



Actually, IINM, the 49ers got their name from the 49th parallel longitude (not exactly sure), and not from some year.

But hell, the 69ers would be funny. :D

You sure about that, Billy? That's out in the middle of the Atlantic. I'm pretty sure the gold rush happened in 1849.:D

Hey, 49ers fans, the Seahawks won again today. :P

You're right John, from wikipedia: The name "49ers" comes from the name given to the gold prospectors who arrived in Northern California around 1849 during the California Gold Rush.

I must have been thinking about some other line... perhaps the longitude that makes up the border between Canada and the US over the western half of North America?
