Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates is betting the Bears will beat Louisviile this Sunday.
If the Cardinals win, Bates has promised to ship 10 bottles of Narsai David premium California cabernet sauvignon to Louisville's mayor. But, a Bears victory means Mayor Bates will receive 10 bottles of Kentucky bourbon from Louisville.
Bates is confident in his alma mater saying, "I can already taste the bourbon!"
The Bears beat Georgia Monday in an overtime nail bite 65-6 making them the first Cal Women's Bears team to go to the Final Four.
