Unless, of course, I'd said what I'm going to say right now, which is the fact that I'm only blogging about the game now is perhaps the best indicator of all that things have, at least for this one, close-to-becoming-special year, changed. Sure, I'm going to go rewatch the game with the remote in hand for slow-motion dissection. But the fact that A) I wasn't afraid to tape it, despite the jinx that typically afflicts the Bears when I do so; and B) that the jinx did not, in fact, materialize, indicates that we're moving into uncharted territory. Uncharted Bear territory. At least, that is, until Cal loses to last-place Arizona State on Saturday. . .
