Re TT,  he's proving that chicken salad can't be made from feathers, beaks and feet. (The portal eviscerated this program to an extent that can't be overstated.) He's recruited well (so far). This game was a big setback, however, especially in penalties. Which troubles me the most. In his first couple of years, Harbaugh went 3-9 and 4-8. Let's see how things play out through 2024. But you can't do squat without real studs. Right now, they're in short supply.

BTW, kal hasn't won three straight BGs in Palo Alto since 1951.

Just for the record, Harbaugh went 4-8 (2007) and 5-7 (2008).  Not a sizable difference, but slightly better.  That said, this year's team could easily have been 4-8 with a bit of luck.  That loss to Sac State was unnecessary, and a more accurate Karty might have gotten us a win against Arizona before they transitioned to Fifita and became a totally different team.  Of course, the win against Colorado was also the result of an epic Buff meltdown.  Anyway, 4-8 was definitely possible (technically, it still is possible, but I am not delusional about our chances against the Domers).
