Seems like there should be an official 49ers thread for this season since Purdy will be the starting QB and a lot of Cyclone fans will be paying attention. I didn't see one anywhere in the forums, so hope I didn't just miss it. Figure it makes sense to have everything about the season (now that it's just days away) in one place.
I'll start with this news from earlier this afternoon about Nick Bosa FINALLY reaching an agreement with SF:

I cringe when I see anyone talk about how movie X has a Rotten Tomato score of X as if it really means something. It's been absolute garbage for years and has only gotten worse the pasts few years basically letting any Joe be a critic. Now this...

I feel like this will be interesting. Maybe not. We are told the lots won't open until 8:30 a.m. and we cannot get in line until 8 a.m. I wonder who will enforce this. Past years we were in line way before 30 minutes before the lots opened. Might be time to ante up for the RV Village

Cy-Hawk Game Discussion

Wednesday of game week, and I've read enough about ticket scanners. Let's talk about the game.
This is probably the most similar the two teams have been in as long as I can remember, and that's really intriguing to me.
-Two of the best coordinators, with two very good defenses, led by the secondaries.
-Both are conservative on offense, with new qbs, less than stellar Oline, and questions at WR.
-Iowa probably has the special teams advantage because of their punter, and just past track record.
Both sides is strength vs weakness, so it's seems like the team that makes less mistakes, doesn't turn it over, and maybe hits one or two big plays, will have the big advantage.
