Jim: With the semester winding down and finals coming up, winter break is right around the corner. For sports fanatics like myself, Christmas comes in the form of more than just presents.
Kim: It will be nice to have a break, and even though this winter break will feel like the shortest one ever, there will be a lot of exciting things going on. If my teams win and my favorite players are playing, I will be rewarded with the best Christmas gift ever.
Jim: While on winter break, there is a bonanza of sporting events to watch. There are 32 college bowl games, the NFL playoff races are gearing up and it̢۪s the heart of the NBA season. Not to mention college basketball, hockey and blockbuster offseason trades happening in the baseball world.
Kim: The college bowl games will probably be the most exciting, but of course all of the stuff going on will make the break more enjoyable. The excitement of what̢۪s to come is something to look forward to. Time off from school and such allows me to actually go see some of those games in Los Angeles, or wherever, which is so much better than watching them on television.
Jim: With the spring semester around the corner, we have a lot of things to look forward to. The baseball team will be looking for its third-straight conference title, Fresno State̢۪s basketball teams will be starting up conference play and hopefully we will all be celebrating a bowl victory over Georgia Tech.
Kim: As far as Fresno State athletics goes, spring will bring about a lot of fun stuff in the sports pages. Let̢۪s hope we do start the year off the right way with a win in Boise. Then, we̢۪ll take it from there.
Jim: The Collegian sports staff would like to wish you all happy holidays and a happy new year. May you all be enlightened by the sporting world over break and stay away from unrealistic New Year̢۪s resolutions. Lets be honest, you are not going to work out every day, give up video games or go to class every day.
Kim: As always, thanks for reading our column. Have a wonderful break and we̢۪ll see you next semester.
