Doing things the right way, trying hard, being scrappy, buying into the program, being a team player, next man up, building a culture and a program.
All important traits. All valuable. All things that Cal football displayed frequently this year, and all things that are absolutely necessary as a foundation of a successful program.
Sometimes those traits aren’t enough to actually win games, particularly when you’re playing power 5 conference football.
I’m pleased with the foundation Wilcox, his coaches, and his players have built. I have a feeling (naive hope?) that this year’s seniors will be remembered as players who came to Berkeley when there was little reason to come and helped set the stage for this program’s rebirth.
