‘By the time this comes out the Super Bowl will just be other drunken blur for many of the fans who watched it; but ope that this year it will have dramaand competitive fire, two ngs it often lacks. It seems funny that the most watched and shly hyped game of the year usually turns into a one-sided it where half of the fans stop watching midway through the th quarter. Hopefully the game this year will be better than , critics are proclaiming. The San Francisco 49ers were the ss of the NFL this season, featuring this year’s MVP uarterback Steve Young), the Defensive Player of the Year snerback ‘‘Neon’’ Deion Sanders), the greatest receiver in (L history (All-Pro Jerry Rice), and running back Ricky atters. The Niners head into the Super Bowl as heavy 18 1/ point favorites, with everyone declaring the San Diego argers deadin the water. The Chargers should be cheered for wever, as throughout the playoffs they’ ve shown the ability climb out of any hole with the ability to make the big drive the key goal line stand when the money’s on the line; coming with some exciting wins. The Chargers (to use a cliched m) are this year’s ‘‘team of destiny’’, as the San Diego thful hope that lightining can strike twice. San Diego has mn the crown of underdog all season long; at the beginning the year people would have laughed if you said that Junior au and the bolts would be playing in the Super Bowl. In fact ople probably would’ve given you a funny look if you sught that they would have made the playoffs. Stan Humphries d his crew though have continually proven the critics wrong, and their win over the Steelers in the conference final was a fan’s dream game; earmarked with high tension during the Steelers final touchdown drive halted by a swarming Charger defence. I doubt that anyone can stop the 49ers, (on paper they are one of the most talented clubs ever assembled) as Young surpassed records set by his mentor Joe Montana. They are head and shoulders above the Chargers talent-wise. San Diego could best be characterized as the little train that could. Whether or not they can make it back to the station in San Diego with a Super Bowl trophy in their caboose though seems most unlikely. Nevertheless, if I could see one upset in sports this year, think I’ m pulling for this one. I know there is one certain red haired Bernadine girl who was cheering for her home town club this past weekend. ***Congratulaions tothe women’s volleyball team who finally threw the monkey off their backs last weekend as the split a weekend series with Acadia to notch their first win of the season.
