(The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Pacific and will be broadcast on ESPN and 860 AM.)The Spartans have won six straight after a 1-5 start, a run that vaulted them into a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West. But the Spartans were the odd-team out when a computer picked Boise State and UNLV to play in the conference championship.A trip to the islands isn’t a bad consolation prize for the Spartans, but they have their sights on making one more statement about how far this team has come this season.“We’re going into this game ...

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- BART is targeting the end of December as the first day of service for its new fare gates, the transit agency announced in a thread on X, formerly Twitter. The gates, which are currently undergoing hundreds of tests, will be rolled out first at the West Oakland station.BART has yet to arrive at a final design for the gates and is currently still testing new designs, materials and features, the transit agency said.

"We have long needed to replace our decades old fare gates, which are at end of their useful life."Graphic: BARTThe new...
