For the record, I was only commenting H = C with respect to their inability to approach the game as a rivalry. My next statement was about Cooper's superior recruiting.
But I find his inability interesting b/c ... Cooper can't be entirely blamed for never grasping the rivalry as an outsider... but Harbaugh played in it, trash talked in it... and now he doesn't know how to rally his team and get them fired up for it ??
And he's been like that from the beginning... I remember in '15 they talked about how Harbaugh would treat it as just another game. At the time, I thought it was some kind of ruse .... trying to break the spell and losing mindset... but he's really done just that.
It's perplexing... and I thoroughly enjoy it.
