Happy Holidays

Clearing out my inbox before the holidays:

• Michelle Smith (espnW) reports how the Cardinal are spending the holiday break — Helping out and hanging out
• Ann Killion (Sports Illustrated) writes about Pat and Tara — Stanford pays tribute to Summitt on this uncharted farewell tour
• Jake Curtis asks a couple of questions about Nneka — Ogwumike's 42-point performance against Tennessee raises two questions
• Jake Curtis on streaks and statistics — Stanford women tie mark for second-longest home winning streak in history
• And finally, a familiar name in espnW's remembrances of Christmases Past:

  Jayne Appel, WNBA player
  "One year my two older brothers and I decided to make a play about Christmas. We created our own outfits and skit. Clearly I got the leftovers for the costumes since I was only left with a robe."
