Here’s what you need to know: What: American Football Championship Game Who: Army vs. Tulane When: Dec. 6, 2024 Where: Michie Stadium Time: 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) TV: ABC Live stream: DirecTV Stream or fuboTV Here’s a college football story from the AP: Army’s goal every year is to reach December with a chance to win a trophy by beating Navy. The Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy will indeed be on the line when the Black Knights and Midshipmen meet on Dec. 14 in one of college football’s famed rivalry games. But this season, Army can pick up some additional hardware along the way. The No. 24 Black Knights (10-1, 8-0, No. 24 CFP) can finish off a smashing debut in the American Athletic Conference by winning the conference title with a victory over Tulane (9-3, 7-1) on Friday night on their home field in West Point, New York. “There’s only 18 teams playing this week for a championship. There will only be nine winners. It’s a blessing to be in the position,” Army cornerback Jaydan Mayes said. “I think everybody would rather be on this end of the spectrum than on the other end, waiting around to play Navy and watching what could have happened for our team.” Army went undefeated in its first season in the AAC and is playing for a conference title for the first time. The Black Knights played in Conference USA from 1998-2004 and otherwise had been an independent since their program began in 1890. Quarterback Bryson Daily was the league’s offensive player of the year and goes into the title game with a chance to break the AAC record for rushing touchdowns in a season. Jeff Monken was voted coach of the year. The reward is a matchup with a Tulane team playing in its third straight AAC title game. The Green Wave enter off a 34-24 home loss to Memphis on Thanksgiving that ended their 17-game winning streak in conference games, their hopes of hosting the championship and perhaps even reaching the College Football Playoff. Coach Jon Sumrall didn’t expect the disappointment to linger. “We’ve got a chance to play in a conference championship. If we’re not focused then shame on us,” he said, adding he told his team of 18 all-conference selections that he doesn’t remember individual honors. “I do remember which teams won championships. Like, the championship teams I’ve been a part of, I remember that forever,” Sumrall said. “Like, I’ll be 75 years old and laying around and unable to function and I’ll remember the championship teams I was part of. That’s different. It means something. It’s different. And so if we’re not focused and excited about that opportunity, we’ve got a problem. Need a heart transplant if we ain’t ready for that.” The Green Wave split their appearances in the last two AAC championship games, beating UCF in 2022 before falling to SMU last year, both at home. Army came along and rolled through its first time in the conference, losing only to Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium and snatching the No. 1 seed that had belonged to Tulane in the previous two seasons. But perhaps in part because of all their late-season experience — the Green Wave beat Southern California in the 2023 Cotton Bowl after winning the AAC championship — the visitors are listed as 4 1/2-point favorites by BetMGM. “This is a game they’ve played in. They’ve got people that have been part of the conference championship game,” Monken said. “This is our first time, so this is a new experience for our guys and it’s exciting, but we’re going to have to play very good football if we’re going to have a chance to win.” Strange schedule With the Navy matchup still to come, Army will appear in a conference championship game before it plays its final regular-season game. Both teams beat Air Force this season, guaranteeing the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy to the winner. Winning in West Point Tulane snapped an Army 15-game home winning streak when it won at Michie Stadium on Oct. 5, 2019. This time, the Black Knights have won eight in a row at home as they welcome a Green Wave squad that has won 15 of its last 16 road games, with the only loss at then-No. 15 Oklahoma in September. Daily’s dominance Daily led the AAC with 1,354 rushing yards, including an Army single-season record nine consecutive games of 100 or more, and his 25 rushing TDs are second in the nation behind Ashton Jeanty of Boise State’s 28. Daily needs one more to break the AAC mark that was set by Navy QB Will Worth in 2016.

Canada's Trudeau returns home after Trump meeting without assurances that tariffs are off the tableWASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton was admitted Monday to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington after developing a fever. The 78-year-old was hospitalized in the “afternoon for testing and observation," Angel Urena, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, said in a statement. “He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena said. Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001, addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, and campaigned ahead of November's election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris . In the years since Clinton left the White House, he's faced some health scares. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. Clinton returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 he had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery. Clinton responded by embracing a largely vegan diet that saw him lose weight and report improved health. In 2021, the former president was hospitalized for six days in California while being treated for an infection that was unrelated to COVID-19, when the pandemic was still near its height. An aide to the former president said then that Clinton had a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream, but was on the mend and never went into septic shock, a potentially life-threatening condition. The aide said Clinton was in an intensive care section of the hospital that time, but wasn’t receiving ICU care.None
Canada's Trudeau returns home after Trump meeting without assurances that tariffs are off the tableMost of the thematic and sectoral funds launched in the last one year have fallen below the issue price of ₹10 raising serious concern among investors, amid the recent turbulence in the equity markets. Of the 163 thematic funds launched, the net asset value of 57 funds was quoted below ₹10 as of October-end. Among the schemes of large funds that are trading below ₹10 include Motilal Oswal Nifty India Defence Index Fund, Aditya Birla SL Quant Fund, SBI Automotive Opportunities, ICICI Pru Energy Opportunities and SBI Innovative Opportunities. Thematic mutual funds invest in stocks that are tied to a particularly theme. For instance, an infrastructure theme fund will invest in cement, power and steel, among other sectors. Since these funds invest in a particular theme without any diversification, they are categorised as high risk and its return depends on the specific sector performance. They also carry concentrated risk and hence are meant for investors with an aggressive risk profile. With most of the active funds failing to beat their benchmark indices, mutual funds have taken the passive route to tap opportunities in thematic investment. These funds typically replicate the performance of an index and are managed passively by fund managers. They are typically more popular among investors because they are more cost-effective and easy to understand. NSE Indices, the subsidiary of National Stock Exchange, launched five sectoral or thematic indices this year; just one such index was launched in 2023. Over the recent market run-up, investors have thronged to high-risk funds based on prospects around continued growth in the domestic markets, coupled with a strong expectation for instant gratification. Kavitha Narayan, Vice-President and Head Research and New Initiatives, Capricorne Mindframe, said investing in thematic fund NFOs comes with the added risk of being a late entrant into a sector that could have run-up. Huge demand coming in for certain sectors and themes has also led to a lot of asset management companies launching funds with the aim to consolidate additional assets under their umbrella, she said. Investors should re-evaluate their portfolios and ascertain the long-term prospects of the sector they have invested in to take a call on their further action, said Narayan. CA Jashan Arora, Wholetime Director and Promoter, Master Trust Group, said given the current market scenario, adding a thematic fund might offer some opportunities, but it comes with risks, especially when considering new NFOs. While thematic funds, especially NFOs, can offer opportunities, they come with higher risk due to concentration, volatility and lack of performance history, he added. Comments
