HA thats awesome, 49ers and Huskers are my teams also. I never thought about the similarities until now, and here is another one that probably is less significant for you.
At the begining of the year i was a big Zac Lee fan, and for the 49ers i was a Shaun Hill fan because i thought Alex Smith was a huge bust.
Now the 49ers give the Smith another shot and he performs (hopefully he has more than just 1 half of good football in him),
so maybe if we give Green a shot he will show us that he was worth all those stars that accompenied his name coming out of high school.
I felt the same way. Smith was a bust. Hill didn't wow you, but he knew how to win. The Niner loss in a last second miracle on the road to the Vikings felt exactly like the Husker loss in Blacksburg. Then came the redemptive win. Then two games where the wheels came off and you realized maybe the team just isn't as good as you hoped they'd be, and most of it comes down to personnel rather than playcalling. Still, both the Niners and the Huskers could end up winning their weak divisions.
We were getting a little extra Husker press here in the Bay Area because Lee came out of City College of San Francisco.
Word up to any Husker fan feeling down in the dumps. You can always fall to your knees and thank God your favorite team isn't the Oakland Raiders.
Chalk me up as a third Husker/ Niner fan. I too see the similarity's to each other, especially in the swings in highs and lows
