Cal football: Behind the Bears’ surge to bowl eligibility

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:42:36 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...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:42:36 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 Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:42:36 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...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:42:36 GMT

UNLV will host Boise State in the Mountain West Conference championship game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday after a computer ranking was used to break a three-way tie for first place.Boise State, UNLV and San Jose State each finished the regular season 6-2 in conference play.

Boise State was second and San Jose State third.“It’s unfortunate. I think we were one of the top two teams in the league,” SJSU athletic director Jeff Konya told The Associated Press. “I’m sure the other institutions and...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:42:36 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Tens of thousands of people including former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson gathered in London on Sunday for a march against antisemitism, a day after large crowds turned out for a pro-Palestinian rally.Johnson was joined by U.K. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other senior government officials at the march to express solidarity with the Jewish community. Organizers billed it as the largest gathering against antisemitism in London for almost a century. Marchers waved Israeli flags and Union Jacks, and held placards reading “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.”Sunday’s march was organized amid concerns about rising tensions sparked by the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.“Anything which is associated with the Jewish religion now feel that they’re under attack and they have to look after themselves, have their own security,” said Malcolm Canning, 75, from London. “I never thought this would get to this stage in this country.
