Cal’s upset hopes fall apart against No. 23 SMU in nightmare second half

For a half, Cal shoved aside every obstacle in its path on the road against No. 23 SMU. The Bears overcame an epidemic of injuries to offensive players, ignored the 9 a.m. PT kickoff in Dallas and emerged with a 20-17 lead halftime. Then it all fell apart in a 42-zip onslaught the rest of the way by the Mustangs. SMU scored touchdowns on its first six possessions of the second half and held the Bears to 50 total yards and two first downs over the final two quarters in a 59-20 demolition in front of 26,463 fans at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The Mustangs (7-1, 4-1 ACC) remain perfect in 11 in conference home games since joining the ACC in 2024 along with Cal and Stanford. The Bears (3-4, 2-3 ACC), on the heels of their 41-7 home defeat to now-No. 17 Wake Forest the previous week, have surrendered 100 points in a two-game span for the first time since allowing 113 in back-to-back losses to…

Mike Ditka, the quintessential Chicago Bear and a Pro Football Hall of Famer, dies at 86

Ditka's family announced his death on Friday in a statement. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Mike Ditka,” the family said. “While the world knew Mike as a Hall of Fame football player, legendary coach, and leader of the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl XX championship team, we knew him as the heart of our family. Mike will be missed beyond measure and remembered forever.” After retiring as a coach, Ditka became a restaurateur, pitchman and TV personality, as well as a forceful advocate for improved medical and retirement benefits for former players. Ditka was tough and gruff, the quintessential Chicago Bear. He did everything from order off the menu to knock defensive backs on their butts with a growl. His adopted hometown reveled in every minute. Revered as "Da Coach," Ditka was the ringmaster of the 1985…

US Airlines Cut Profit Forecasts as Soaring Fuel Costs Bite

Alaska Air Group recorded a Q3 loss and a 60% rise in fuel spending to $1.2 billion. Management cited a per‑gallon jet fuel average of $3.94 and warned Q4 fuel could rise to $4.65–$4.85 per gallon. The company expects a full-year adjusted net loss in the range of $5.00–$5.50 per share if those levels hold. Smaller domestic carriers like Alaska have less pricing power on select transcontinental and leisure routes and fewer widebody premium seats to offset rising per-seat fuel costs. Alaska is prioritizing short‑term liquidity and pruning marginal flying rather than aggressive capacity expansion, which preserves near‑term cash but risks slower revenue recovery if fares and demand softening. Southwest’s Q3 operating revenue rose 21% to $8.4 billion, but the airline reported an $821 million year‑over‑year increase in its fuel bill and a per‑gallon cost near $3.92, leaving Q3 adjusted net…
