This marked Michigan’s fourth straight victory over the Buckeyes, pushing their all-time series lead to 62-51-6. However, following the victory, things escalated quickly in what has already been one of the most intense rivalries in sports. Michigan players attempted to plant their flag in the middle of Ohio State's "O" at midfield—a symbolic gesture that Ohio State players took as a major sign of disrespect. The situation quickly erupted into chaos, with players from both teams storming the field and a full-on brawl ensuing. The confrontation grew so heated that police officers had to step in, using mace to separate the teams and restore order. A key figure in the altercation was Ohio State standout Jack Sawyer , who had made a critical goal-line interception in the fourth quarter to keep the Buckeyes in the game. Sawyer’s emotional reaction to the incident captured attention across the college football landscape, as he appeared visibly distraught by what had unfolded. His raw response to the brawl spoke volumes about the intense rivalry and the high stakes of the game. Especially with his head coach Ryan Day standing in the vicinity without saying or doing anything. "THEY’RE NOT [Expletive] PLANTING A FLAG ON OUR [Expletive] FIELD AGAIN” Ryan Day, the HEAD coach, just stands there and does nothing as his senior Captain, Jack Sawyer, devastatingly cries out: “THEY’RE NOT F*CKING PLANTING A FLAG ON OUR F*CKING FIELD AGAIN” When coaches must lead, Coach Day freezes in the midst of Chaos. pic.twitter.com/5UKCHqj96q This loss changes a lot for Ohio State—not only does it raise new questions about Ryan Day’s future as head coach, but it also puts their College Football Playoff hopes in jeopardy. With so much on the line, the Buckeyes' postseason chances are now uncertain, and much will depend on how the committee views their resume in the coming weeks. While Jack Sawyer played an outstanding game, his emotional outburst following the brawl will likely be remembered more than his on-field performance, overshadowing the defensive effort of him and his teammates. The real story of Saturday’s game, however, was Ohio State's offensive struggles. The Buckeyes’ offense was sluggish, and Michigan’s defense dominated in the trenches. The Wolverines played with more intensity, executed their game plan flawlessly, and did what they needed to do to leave Columbus with a hard-fought victory.

Published 23:57 IST, December 15th 2024 PM Modi Asks States To Focus On Startup Growth, Compliance Simplification, Obesity Control New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked states to work towards providing an environment where start-ups can flourish, simplify the compliances that often lead to harassment of citizens and take obesity as a big challenge. Addressing the fourth national conference of chief secretaries here, he said states should reform governance model in such a way that encourages citizen participation, according to an official statement. Modi said it is important to focus on reform, perform, and transform, and that it is also important to inform people about various initiatives of the government. In the health sector, he urged the participants that obesity should be taken as a big challenge in the country. Only a fit and healthy India can be a 'Viksit Bharat', he added. The prime minister said India can be made tuberculosis-free by the end of 2025, and that ASHA and Anganwadi workers can play a big role in delivering this goal. Asserting that old manuscripts were India's treasure, he said states should take steps to use technology to digitize it. He said a great benefit of the conference was that "Team India" had come together for discussion with an open mind and work together for a 'Viksit Bharat'. Pro-People Pro-active Good Governance (P2G2) is at the core of their work through which they can together achieve the vision of a Viksit Bharat, he added. The conference included discussions around the overarching theme of 'Promoting Entrepreneurship, Employment and Skilling -- Leveraging the Demographic Dividend'. Lauding the advent of start-ups, especially in tier-2 and 3 cities, the prime minister asked states to encourage such innovations and work towards providing an environment where start-ups can flourish. "He urged states to identify locations suitable for entrepreneurs in smaller cities and take initiative to connect them with the banking system, provide logistics and facilitate them," the statement said. Modi asked states to explore concepts of Viability Gap Funding for recycling of e-waste. This is particularly important as with increasing data and technology driven society, digital waste will further increase, he said. While appreciating that PM GatiShakti has been a key enabler for good governance, he also said that the initiative must be regularly updated and indicators for environmental impacts, disaster prone areas should be included in it. Talking about Aspirational Districts and Blocks Programme, he said that competent officers posted in these blocks and districts can bring about massive changes at the ground level. It would also lead to immense socio-economic benefits, he added. Modi also encouraged officials to work for human resources development in order to develop cities as centres of economic growth. He emphasized on developing institutions for specialization in urban governance, water and environment management. With increasing urban mobility, he stressed on providing adequate urban accommodation which would in turn lead to better productivity in the manufacturing sector in new industrial hubs. Noting that it was the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Modi lauded him as an inspiration for all civil servants and said that everyone should work towards achieving his dream of India. As men, women and children from all walks of life participated in the freedom struggle despite their different circumstances, ideological differences and different means, similarly every Indian must work towards making Viksit Bharat by 2047, he said. The three-day conference, which ended on Sunday, emphasised on special themes that included manufacturing, services, rural non-farm sector, urban, renewable energy, and circular economy. Various sessions during the conference deliberated to work around subjects which would help in collaborative action in promoting entrepreneurship, enhancing skilling initiatives, and creating sustainable employment opportunities for both rural and urban populations thereby helping in the transition of India from middle income to high income country. These initiatives can emerge as the driving wheels for the economy with women-led development as the foundation, the statement said. The participants discussed that a multifaceted approach is required to harness the potential of India's service sector, especially in smaller cities, it said. This involves a combination of policy interventions, infrastructure development, skill enhancement, and a focus on creating a business-friendly environment, the statement added. Emphasis on skilling and formalization of the informal sector was also discussed. Similarly in the rural non-farm sector, it was discussed that rural entrepreneurship should be promoted through specific skilling courses. It was also felt that women and marginalized groups' participation in non-farm employment should also be encouraged through special incentives, the statement said. The conference had a special session on frontier technologies representing convergence of various fields which can help in providing solutions to global challenges. It also could provide India an opportunity to lead in this arena and have a trajectory of inclusive and sustainable growth, the statement said. The conference was attended by chief secretaries, senior officials of all states and Union territories, domain experts and senior officers in the Centre, it said.

(AP) — School district officials who punished two parents for wearing pink wristbands marked “XX” during a soccer game featuring a transgender player defended their decision Friday at a hearing on whether they can take similar action while they are being sued. Kyle Fellers and Anthony Foote were banned from school grounds after the September game by officials who viewed the wristbands as intimidation or harassment of a transgender player. They later sued the Bow school district, and while the no-trespass orders have since expired, a judge is deciding whether the plaintiffs should be allowed to wear the wristbands and carry signs at upcoming school events, including basketball games, swim meets and a music concert, while the case proceeds. Both men testified Thursday that they didn’t intend to harass or otherwise target a transgender player on the opposing team, and their attorneys have argued they did nothing more than silently express their support for reserving girls’ sports for those born female. But school officials testified Friday that they had reason to believe the men wouldn’t stop there. Superintendent Marcy Kelley and Bow High School Athletic Director Michael Desiletes described receiving strongly-worded emails from Foote in which he called himself a “real leader” who was prepared to take action and seeing his social media posts urging others to attend the game. In the days leading up to the game, another parent told school officials she overheard others talk about showing up to the game wearing dresses and heckling the transgender player. “When we suspect there’s some sort of threat ... we don’t wait for it to happen,” Kelley said, comparing it to the way school officials wouldn’t wait until a fight broke out between two students to intervene if they got wind of it beforehand. Kelley also pushed back on the idea that the plaintiffs were simply expressing support for their daughters and their teammates in general, noting that they chose the one game involving a transgender player to begin wearing the wristbands. “This was organized and targeted,” she said. “If we were to allow harassment, we’re liable.” The transgender player in question, Parker Tirrell, and another student athlete are challenging the state law that bans transgender athletes in grades 5 to 12 from teams that align with their gender identity. A federal judge ruled in their case that they can play sports during the ongoing lawsuit that seeks to overturn the law. Gov. Chris Sununu, who signed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act into law in July, has said it “ensures fairness and safety in women’s sports by maintaining integrity and competitive balance in athletic competitions.” About half of states have adopted similar measures.

The analyst stated that the company’s advancements in AI and autonomous technology could play a part in Tesla’s rise. During a segment on CNBC’s Closing Bell , Ives noted that Tesla has a lot of potential to grow even more despite its recent rally. As per the analyst, Tesla’s autonomous driving efforts alone could be worth a trillion dollars, so it would not be a surprise if the electric vehicle maker hits a $2 trillion valuation. “I believe Tesla is a stock that can ultimately double from here over the next 12 to 18 months. Autonomous itself, we think, is worth $1 trillion. So when you think, today, I view Tesla as the most undervalued name in the market. It is not ridiculous,” Ives noted. We believe Cybercab and Autonomous is worth $1 trillion alone to the Tesla story @CNBCOvertime @CNBC @CNBCtech 🔥🏆🍿🐂📺🌎 https://t.co/8qQ0MHgaTn The Wedbush analyst also noted in a report that Musk’s rapport with a Trump-led administration could pave the way for Tesla to expedite its self-driving car initiatives. “We fully expect under a Trump White House, those initiatives will now get fast tracked as the federal regulatory spiderweb that Musk & Co have encountered over the past few years clears significantly,” Ives noted . Wedbush has rated Tesla stock as Outperform, setting a price target at $400, one of the highest in the Street. Tesla stock has seen a lot of momentum following Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 U.S. presidential elections. As of Friday’s close, Tesla shares were ahead nearly 40% for the year. The company has also reached a market cap of about $1.07 trillion, making it one of only eight companies in the market with a valuation of more than a trillion dollars.
