Cal will play TCU in Cheez-It Bowl in Phoenix
Rusty Simmons
As Cal head coach Justin Wilcox started to talk Sunday about Cal’s bowl invitation, an unidentified player walked down the hall next to the news conference and shouted: “Cheez-It Bowl, yeah!”

The Bears will play TCU at 6 p.m. Dec. 26 in the Cheez-It Bowl at Chase Field, which is the home ballpark of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks in downtown Phoenix and will be morphed from a synthetic turf diamond into a natural grass gridiron.
