Until 49ers football is back in action!

Tonight's preseason opener begins at 5 against the Broncos. According to Nolan, the starters will take the field for the first 15 plays or the first quarter, whichever comes first, the second unit takes over for the second quarter, and the rest of the game will be played by guys looking to make the roster.

Unlike last summer, I couldn't go to training camp, so this will be my first time seeing Patrick Willis, Joe Staley, and all the other draft picks. From what I've read about them around the internet, I'm already impressed.

It should be a fun, if meaningless from a fan's perspective, game to watch, but hey, we've been waiting 6 months, right?
