Out of fear that I might jinx their good fortune, I purposely avoided talking about the Huskies in recent days.

When they beat Oregon State, I didn’t say anything.

When they beat Stanford, I didn’t say anything.

But now that they’ve toppled the vaunted Cal Bears and won the Pac-10 Tournament Championship in the process, it’s time to talk.

We’re going to the Big Dance, baby!!!!

Congratulations to the 2010 Pac-10 Champs, the Washington Huskies! Go Dawgs!
