Senior Day on the first Saturday in November is wrong.
I mean, I love closing out the home schedule of what feels like a sea change year with a win. I love this group of seniors, since they committed to Cal either in 2012 after Tedford got fired, or in 2013 after Cal won 1 friggin’ game.
But it’s too early for nostalgia. Not with two rivalry games to play, not with bowl eligibility to earn. And beating this particular iteration of Oregon State doesn’t exactly lead one to wax poetic.
Still, that Cal could confidently take care of business and lock up an expected win early in the 4th quarter is another small sign of progress.
