Not again!!

Since it's the liberal, hippie haven of California, why not just shut off the lights everywhere permanently (a certain section of Fresno excluded, of course)? Get in touch with nature, man!

Yep...just before a Stiller possession following a commercial break.

After the end of the first quarter. Don’t know how the fixed it the first time, but I don’t think they replaced the transformer in 15 minutes. So, this could be a whole different story. They do have a reasonable level of ambient light for saftery and security purposes, both now and after the first outage.

OK, second restart after a 16 minute delay at 12:13 of the 2nd quarter. Stay tuned!

Power keeps going out in the stadium.

WTH? The wind must be blowing & stopping, keep the windmills from providing consistent power to the football game.

Imagine what a game in Kalifornia will be like in 10 years or so after 10 more years of hard-leftard lunatic rule. They'll have to play in the daytime cause there won't be enough power to light the stadium lights at night.

Well, they sent their roving reporter, Sutcliffe, I think, around to ask questions. He said no one could or would say what the trouble was, but they were obviously scrambling to get things under control.

The announcer just said they will try to finish the game tonight but if they have to they will finish it tomorrow during daylight. If they cannot finish it there they will finish it at Oakland.

Clear evidence of the descent into third-worldism by San Francisco. They’ve become so “politically correct” that the competent and those seeking competency are fleeing the city.

Why do you think the 49ers are building their new stadium in Santa Clara?
