Jim Harbaugh's accomplishments can't be denied or lessened, but I remain extremely curious as to the common denominator of rot  linking the Stanford and Niners offenses these last two years.  It's difficult to imagine there isn't something in common between the two given they have basically tracked each other over the last three seasons.

Given how bad the Niners were yesterday against a contending Seattle team, and how the Niners and Stanford offensive performances have tended to mirror each other, it would  be not at all surprising to see Stanford be similarly bad against UCLA.

Why do you keep saying this? It isn't true. I already debunked it once: http://thecardboard.org/board/index.php/...#msg104866

SF's rankings went #18, #5, #8, and now #18 (it's been updated since my last post, and I'm throwing in 2011 because it makes this even more asinine). Our rankings went #6, #36, #18, #60. Those trends don't mirror each other (except that this year is really bad for both teams, though it's apparently not Harbaugh's worst) and there's also absolutely no reason to think that they would. The coaching staffs are doing different things with different players at different levels, connecting them for any reason is inane.
