Agreed. UW was sick and tired of getting bullied by us. They had their home crowd behind them and they came out and flat out played. They were motivated, had a bye week to prepare for us, and a year (or several years) to think about us. Just like we get up for USC - they wanted us badly.

I've been amazed at the parallel feelings I have watching the 49ers and Stanford play these last few weeks. I won't try to go into all the thoughts but we both lost an away game that we thought we'd win easily. Especially in the trenches and on the defensive side.

Harbaugh said that every game is a fight and nobody is just going to give you the game. The Vikings (and Huskies) have pride and talent and smarts too. They prepared and fought. So give them credit.

NOW MOVE ON - we fight a new game every week. Let's put the UW game behind us - our team has - and focus on the next game.
