Before we dive into the deep end, I want you all to know that I won this game for the Bears.*
Oregon ran for 3 yards on the first play of their 2nd overtime possession, and Cal fans everywhere are bracing for the inevitable touchdown that will end the game. We’re all feeling pre-demoralized. At this exact moment, I loudly exclaim “You know, it’s amazing that there hasn’t been a single turnover in this entire game! Isn’t that unbelievable?!”
Roughly 12 seconds later, game over.
And thank God, because after 4.5 hours of football and the usual insane-but-also-completely-expected swings of emotion that accompany every Cal game.
