This week, Jimmy and the Geek take part in the lead-up to this week’s Silver Bowl in a truly Geek fashion (yes, there’s an eating contest!). Enjoy!

Friday’s Silver Bowl between McClymonds (11-0) and Fremont (6-5) to settle the Oakland Section championship will be shown on tape delay on KDOL, Comcast channel 27 in Oakland. The game will air Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 29, 30 and Dec. 1) at 8 p.m.
The announcers for the game, which is at Laney College at 1 p.m., are former McClymonds football coach and current Contra Costa College coach Alonzo Carter and former San Francisco 49ers player Jamie Williams, now the athletic director at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
