After everything that happened during the 99 season,this game kinda got
pushed to the back row of my memory.
However at the time,there was no game bigger.The previous 17 games
between these two teams had resulted in a Ram loss.
Nov. 25, 1990 was the last time we had beaten these guys.
Todd Lyght drafted by the Rams in 1991 had played his entire
career without a single victory against the 49ers.
As a matter of fact there was not a single player on the
99 roster who had beaten the 49ers as a Ram.
We were 4-0 and I was still not sure if, what was happening up to this point
was real or just a blip that would end as quickly as it had started.
The 49er's were 3-1 and this game was for command of the West.
I remember driving 25 miles to the closest sports bar that
would air the game.Living in NC this game would not be
aired on the local channels.I remember thinking,If the Rams
are truly the real deal,this is going to be the game that proves it.
Issac Bruce in his 5th year showing you just how huge this
moment was.Watch what he does at the end of this clip.
A little out of character for the Reverend.LOL.

Moment of Clarity:
I remember sitting in the sports bar at this exact moment
in the game and thinking."Oh shit!This is for real."
This is not a dream or some fluke.The Rams are for
real . My freaking Rams are for real !!
