Moments before Florida's high noon tipoff Thursday against TCU, a tournament official named Steve Martin (no joke) was standing in the Fun Zone reminding those around him about proper procedures for the Gator Chomp. To wit: "Right arm up by your ear, left arm down by your side, and meet in the middle." And this part is critical: It's right arm over left, not the other way around. Florida fans have been chomping away enthusiastically for years. They figured to embrace the tradition during the tournament opener at the University of San Diego's Jenny Craig Pavilion, where one fan held a sign reading "Gators Gobble Horned Frogs." Turns out TCU didn't get the memo, upsetting No. 10 Florida 84-80 to advance to Friday's championship game. Florida led by five points…...

San Diego home prices have'been more expensive than the nation since the 1990s, but the difference is now more pronounced. A U.S. median priced home was five times more than income in October, something that hasn't been true in San Diego for 25 years. There have been times when San Diego was closer to the rest of the country in housing affordability. In fall 1997, when the San Diego County median home price was $177,286 and the median household income was $40,981, homes were 4.3 times income, said housing market researcher Intercontinental Exchange. That was as close as it got to nationwide levels, when the U.S. average was 3.6 times. Price-to-income disparities have become a popular topic as economists strain to figure out why lower mortgage rates have…...

Hold up on third down San Diego State doesn't have many true weaknesses. Consider that a credit to a big, talented roster and a reliable style of play that Jason Eck considers a throwback to his last season in college. "They remind you of a 1998 Big Ten team," UNM's first-year head coach said Tuesday. "I mean, that's how we were at Wisconsin. They're running the ball (65.43%) of the time (and) there's not many teams like that anymore. They do, however, struggle with one thing: converting third downs. SDSU has converted 41 of 142 third downs faced (31.69%), far and away the worst mark in the 12-team Mountain West. UNM hasn't been a consistently great defensive team on third down; the Lobos' have allowed teams to convert on…...
