The title of the Big Game includes the following: XLVII - but I only had one year of Latin so I can't count over X. The two week hype is under way but the real story is not in the half- time show or the clever ads - it's Harbaugh & Harbaugh - sounds like a law firm. When you consider there are thirty-two teams vying for the football championship and how coaches come and go with such frequency - it is both remarkable and unprecedented - that the last two coaches standing after a gruelling season would be brothers. The outcome of the game rests with the performance of the players but you can't help thinking about the coaches' parents back in Wisconsin knowing that when time expires on the field one son will be hailed as victor and their other son as runner-up. Baltimore vs. San Francisco - East Coast vs. West Coast. So to paraphrase that old fight announcer, Harry Balogh, "May the better team emerge triumphant."
