OK, a serious answer.
In '81 I was 15 years old and still pretty much a hard core baseball guy.
GO GIANTS!! Football was an aside for me. I was pleased the Niners were doing well but didn't really care too much.
GO GIANTS!! I'd been to the 'Stick for Giants games but never for a Niners game. I still have never been to a Niners game.
GO GIANTS!! My excitement for football didn't really get going until the Niners had won another SB... or was it two??? I don't recall.
GO GIANTS!!
So now we've had many years of sucking wind and the internet plus NFLN and ESPN have kept me plugged into the game like never before. My excitement for this season is so thick you can cut it with a knife. So no, this season doesn't really remind me of '81. THIS SEASON is EPIC by comparison!!
GO NINERS!!!!!
