Ruey Yen: The best Christmas gift that Cal Athletics can give me would be a nice deep run by Cal Men's Basketball to Sweet 16 and beyond. Despite a bit of an uneven pre-conference season, Cal's got enough talent to make a deep run in March. I hope this is the year when we get to see the Bears play into the 2nd weekend and beyond.
To get a bit greedy, I certainly would love to see the Bears win national championships in swimming (both men and women), crew (both men and women again), rugby (15s and 7s), and the first NCAA women's tennis championships all in the winter/spring of 2017.
