Cal football: Behind the Bears’ surge to bowl eligibility

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 23:29:37 GMT

Four weeks ago, after a 63-19 beatdown at Oregon that should have chased away the last bit of confidence the Cal football team was grasping, quarterback Fernando Mendoza said the kind of thing only a starry-eyed redshirt freshman could believe.“The only thing that really matters is winning,” Mendoza told reporters, “and we’re going to win those next three games.”Turns out Mendoza knew what he was talking about and on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, in what was the final regular-season game in the 108-year history of the Pac-12 Conference, the Bears completed that unlikely mission.Their 33-7 shellacking of UCLA was the Bears’ third straight victory and gave them the six wins they needed to become bowl-eligible for the first time since 2019. Cal is most likely to wind up in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 16 in Shreveport, Louisiana.“We just had a belief. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy getting those three wins, but we thought it was possible,” said linebacker Cade Uluav...

San Jose State football: Spartans left out of league championship game

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 23:29:37 GMT

San Jose State’s remarkable pursuit to return to the Mountain West Conference championship game fell just short Sunday morning, as the computer polls used to break a three-way tie left the Spartans as the odd-team out.UNLV, the team San Jose State beat 37-31 on the road on Saturday for its sixth straight victory, will play host to Boise State next Saturday to determine the MW champion.In the end, UNLV had a 44.50 computer average to comfortably secure one spot. San Jose State was at 58.50, significantly closing the gap on Boise State from the previous week, but the Broncos were able to hold on to second slot with a 55.75 average.“I’m subjectively disappointed,” said SJSU athletic director Jeff Konya in a phone interview with Bay Area News Group. “I subjectively think we’re one of the best two teams in the league. There’s no easy way to break a three-way tie and unfortunately for us we were the odd person out.”This doesn’t end San Jose State’s season. With a 7-5 overall record, the t...

Garnacho’s sensational overhead kick stuns protesting Everton fans and helps Man United earn 3-0 win

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 23:29:37 GMT

Manchester United needed to produce something extraordinary to quieten a home crowd at Goodison Park seething with anger and resentment.Alejandro Garnacho did just that by scoring one of the greatest goals ever seen in the Premier League.Leaping high in the air with his back to goal, the Argentina winger produced a spectacular bicycle kick from 15 yards (meters) that sent the ball flying into the top corner and — if only briefly — muted tens of thousands of protesting Everton fans.The third-minute strike set United on course for a 3-0 win over Everton but the score will not be the thing people remember from this fiery, volatile occasion.The match was played to a backdrop of protests by Everton supporters furious at what they perceived to be an over-the-top sanction — a record 10-point points deduction — for financial mismanagement issued by a disciplinary commission last week.This was the first game since that punishment and Everton fans marched in their thousands to the stadium, ho...
