COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A brawl exploded Saturday between Michigan and Ohio State when the Wolverines planted their flag at midfield in the Horseshoe following their stunning 13-10 upset of the second-ranked Buckeyes. Police eventually used pepper spray to quash the scuffle that lasted roughly five minutes. Players and coaches from both sides were left bloodied from the pushing and shoving. As the Wolverines gathered on the Block O logo in celebration, several Ohio State players rushed in throwing punches. Michigan players punched back. Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore and Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork were among those who tried to break up the multiple skirmishes that broke out. Several police officers eventually stepped in and attempted to form a line separating the two teams.

During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray." Ohio State police said it will continue to investigate the incident. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day later blamed Michigan for starting the melee by planting the flag. "I don't know all the details of it, but I know these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," Day said. "I'll find out exactly what happened. But this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed of the fact that we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys in this team that weren't going to just let that happen." Moore said he wished both teams handled the incident better. "It was emotions on both sides," Moore said. "I did see they had the flag and guys were waving it around and their guys charged us. There's emotion on both sides. It can't happen. Rivalry games get heated, especially this one, it's the biggest one in the country, so we got to handle that one better." The Wolverines came in as 20.5-point underdogs, the second-biggest spread in the rivalry dating back to 1978. But after a scoreless second half, Dominic Zvada nailed a 21-yard field goal with 45 seconds remaining, giving Michigan its fourth straight win in the series. Wolverines All-American defensive tackle Mason Graham and Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer emphatically traded insults as the incident finally waned, with several Michigan players waving bye to the Buckeyes as they finally walked away. Kaleel Mullings, who rushed for 116 yards and scored the Wolverines' only touchdown, called the Buckeyes "classless" for trying to fight afterward. "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game," he said. "This is bad for the sport and bad for college football, but at the end of the day, some people have got to learn how to lose. You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost a game. All that fighting -- we had 60 minutes, we had four quarters to do all that fighting, and now, people want to talk and fight. ... People have got to be better."

DALLAS — Before Travis Skyers takes any stage, he has a routine. “A mantra that my mom taught me is what three things that can no longer be hidden. The sun, the moon and the truth,” said Skyers, a dancer. Dancing is his truth. “As early as I can remember, dancing has always been my first love and my heart and my safe space,” said Skyers. Dancing is his safe space because where he grew up in Jamaica, he did not feel safe. Skyers and his family moved to the United States when he was a child. “Human rights is still not human rights, especially for people of LGBT,” said Skyers. “There were live actual beheadings of people who are comfortable in their skin, in that aspect.” That is what makes his most recent performance special. Skyers dances with the Herrera Dance Project. They performed at the celebration of the 76th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at Dallas City Hall. “The city has had an onslaught of hate crimes, crimes against people because of who they are or who they allegedly are from gay people, women, people of color,” said Rick Halperin, Human Rights Dallas co-founder and SMU professor. Human Rights Dallas is a new organization protecting civil, political, social, cultural and economic rights. They said this was the first human rights celebration of its kind at Dallas City Hall. “Our goal is to help educate people so they can demand their rights, to be proud of their rights and to work in support of others who are less fortunate than themselves,” said Halperin. That support is what Skyers gets from his teacher, Favian Herrera. “Having that experience creates a unique moment in time that transcends that moment,” said the Herrera Dance Project co-founder. “He just doesn't dance. He embodies.” Skyers shows in his movement how he understands his own human rights. “No one really thinks about the time and place for lying. So, why should I think about the time and place for telling the truth?” asked Skyers.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that it finalized the rule, which also requires enhanced warnings when front seat belts aren't fastened. The agency estimates that the new rule will save 50 lives per year and prevent 500 injuries when fully in effect, according to a statement. The new rule will apply to passenger cars, trucks, buses except for school buses, and multipurpose vehicles weighing up to 10,000 pounds. Before the rule, seat belt warnings were required only for the driver's seat. Under the new rule, outboard front-seat passengers also must get a warning if they don't fasten their belts. Front-center seats will not get a warning because NHTSA found that it wouldn't be cost effective. The agency said most vehicles already have warnings for the outboard passenger seats. The rule also lengthens the duration of audio and visual warnings for the driver's seat. The front-seat rules are effective starting Sept. 1 of 2026. Rear passengers consistently use seat belts at a lower rate than front passengers, the agency says. In 2022, front belt use was just under 92%, while rear use dropped to about 82%. About half of automobile passengers who died in crashes two years ago weren’t wearing belts, according to NHTSA data. The seat belt rule is the second significant regulation to come from NHTSA in the past two months. In November the agency bolstered its five-star auto safety ratings to include driver assistance technologies and pedestrian protection. Safety advocates want the Department of Transportation, which includes NHTSA, to finish several more rules before the end of the Biden administration, because President-elect Donald Trump has said he’s against new government regulations. Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, urged the department to approve automatic emergency braking for heavy trucks and technology to prevent impaired driving.Louisville will aim to end a three-game losing streak when it hosts UTEP on Wednesday, but beating the Miners may not be an easy feat. UTEP (6-2) comes to the Derby City winners of three straight, most recently beating Seattle 88-72 on Saturday. The Miners shot 56.1 percent (32 of 57) and used a 24-2 first-half run to essentially put the game away. Coach Joe Golding said that first-half performance may have been UTEP's best in his four years leading the school. "I thought offensively and defensively the first 20 minutes we were really locked in and ready to go. (The game) never got close," he said. "We kept it at 20-plus points for the majority of the game. Our ball movement was terrific." Ahamad Bynum led the Miners with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting off the bench, while Otis Frazier III added 18 points and five assists. Frazier (13.6 points per game) and Bynum (12.1 ppg) are among four UTEP players averaging in double figures. Bynum leads the country shooting 63.3 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, though he has attempted just 30 threes, making 19. Louisville (5-4) also started hot in its last game but could not sustain its momentum in a 76-65 home loss to then-No. 9 Duke on Sunday. Coach Pat Kelsey's team, which had just seven players healthy, made 10 of its first 14 shots to build a 30-16 lead before the Cardinals' lack of depth caught up to them. Louisville shot just 9-of-37 (24.3 percent) after its hot start and was outscored 43-28 after halftime. Terrence Edwards Jr. paced the Cardinals with 21 points in his first game as a reserve this season. Edwards (11.9 ppg) is one of four Louisville scorers averaging double figures, led by Chucky Hepburn leads the team in scoring (14.3 ppg) and is second in the country with 3.2 steals per game. The Cardinals entered the season with expectations of rotating 10 or more players to utilize Kelsey's up-tempo attack. However, swingman Kasean Pryor (knee) and guard Koren Johnson (shoulder) will both miss the rest of the season, while forward Aboubacar Traore (arm) is out indefinitely. After Sunday's loss, Kelsey did not rule out adding players to the roster during the season. "Everything's on the table," he said. "I don't sleep, figuring out what buttons to push to get this team to be the best that they can be. We'll scour every inch of the Earth to figure out how we can improve our team. And whether that happens or not, I have no idea, but I'm willing to try anything." --Field Level Media
The only suretyStalker 2 has its fair share of unique weapons that you can unlock, and the Trophy rifle is certainly one that can easily remain hidden throughout your entire save. Typically, you can unlock extra weapons if you’ve purchased the Deluxe/Ultimate Edition. These weapons can be found in different Journalist Stashes, and you’ll get them gradually. That said, the Trophy gun is available even if you’ve purchased the Standard Edition. As I said, finding it can be a bit tricky, and there are high chances that you might have gone past the place without knowing that there’s a secret gun for you to discover. How to get the Trophy gun in Stalker 2 To find this weapon, you’ll have to play a bit to unlock the Chemical Plant region. This place has plenty of POIs, including the Army Warehouses , which itself has some great resources. If you’ve purchased the Ultimate Edition of the game, you can also find the Lullaby assault rifle from this spot. To get the Trophy gun, you’ll have to travel west from where the Army Warehouses location. To simplify matters, I have marked the location on the screenshot below. Once you reach the spot, you’ll notice a broken structure. I am not sure what exactly it is (it looks like a broken incubator), and you’ll find a corpse lying in front of it. If you look carefully on the map, you’ll find two other structures located close to this spot. All three structures are actually connected, and all you have to do is throw a grenade through the opening of the structure (the one with the corpse). Just wait, and there will be three explosions. The third explosion will open a structure similar to the one where you threw the grenade. Once cracked open, you’ll find a stash waiting for you to be unlocked. This stash contains the Trophy gun (an assault rifle , rather) and a bunch of useful items like ammo, consumables, and grenades.
