    Jim Harbaugh is too busy preparing for a short week and cross-country trip to Baltimore to reflect much on his history-making Thanksgiving night matchup with big brother and Ravens coach, John.

    "There's not a lot of time to really think about the warm and fuzzy reunions, the nostalgia," Harbaugh said Monday.

    Harbaugh thanked the NFL for the ideal, feel-good pairing, a much-hyped date on the schedule since way back when Harbaugh was hired away from Stanford in January to turn around the 49ers' fallen franchise. He appreciates being part of a special first featuring siblings on opposite sidelines as head coaches, but adds, "no doubt we got the short end of the straw."

    Harbaugh plans to use every possible minute to get ready for the daunting task of facing his brother's AFC North-leading Baltimore team (7-3), which he considers to be the toughest opponent yet and perhaps all year for San Francisco. The 49ers' lone loss came in a 27-24 overtime setback to Dallas in Week 2.
