MAURA HIGGINS has reacted to the I'm A Celeb camp after the former Love Island star flew out to Australia. Two new latecomers to this year's series made their debut at the end of Wednesday's episode, and within an instant of entering the camp, former Love Islander Maura was already fuming over the living conditions. Maura Higgins and Reverand Richard Coles were seen last night in a lavish hotel, with them heading straight to Snake Rock tonight before being given a secret mission. Snake Rock has been transformed into the Jungle Junkyard, with the pair having been given a two-ring hob. But although the camp has a hob, the junkyard also contains overgrown greenery, rusty corrugated metal, and of course, zero luxury. And it's safe to say that Maura is less than impressed by the living conditions she is faced with after leaving an opulent hotel, with the reality star firing expletives in a huge rant. Read More about I'm A Celeb 'THIS CAMP SUCKS' "It’s not liveable, we have nothing, this camp sucks," she fumed after seeing the camp for the first time. She then added, "I’m going to ask Richard to say a prayer for us tonight because I’m gonna need one." Then, Maura added, "We've definitely got the sh*t camp, so thanks for that. Jesus Christ. I tell you I saw this on a movie, there's a trick to doing this. "Guys this is not livable, this is not livable. This camp sucks." Most read in I’m A Celebrity 2024 Meanwhile, Reverend Coles, compared his new abode to some bins, admitting, how he once "fell asleep by some bins outside Amnesia night club in Ibiza". Speaking about his bin stint, Rev Coles said, "I don’t remember much about it, but it’s that level." NOT EVERYTHING IS AS IT SEEMS But not everything is as it seems, and they are encouraged to take a look around. Then, the Jungle Junkyard car came down to reveal a luxurious double bed so that the pair could sleep in luxury. Also revealed to the duo was a container reveals a hidden large sofa and a cargo box that opened with a large bathtub with bubbles, bath salts, and hot water. A red chest then opened to reveal a gas cooker and a hidden fridge door opens, stocked with fruit smoothies and a fruit platter. Ant and Dec then explained to the pair that over the next few days, Maura and Rev Coles will have to complete a series of missions in order to win food. MAURA Higgins is a late entry to I'm A Celeb 2024. Yet who is joining her? 2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to the jungle line-up. She will head into the I'm A Celeb camp , along with the Reverend Richard Coles , 62. The duo will join the likes of Coleen Rooney , Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series. Yet initially the duo will have their own private base - and a secret mission - before heading into the main compound Down Under. Maura has already described the jungle as "hell." Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has confessed his biggest "fear." And to be successful overall, they were told that they had to convince the celebs in the main camp that they were roughing it in the Jungle Junkyard. "I’m a great liar," Maura boasted, while Richard weighed in with: "I’m gonna learn fast!"DALLAS — Delta and United became the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning back a significant share of travelers on a tight budget. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines , which recently filed for bankruptcy protection. Some travel-industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate that travelers on a budget will be left with fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on much better financial footing than Spirit, but they too are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic . Most industry experts think Frontier Airlines and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks , and that there is still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. Spirit Airlines lost more than $2.2 billion since the start of 2020. Frontier has not reported a full-year profit since 2019, though that slump might end this year. Allegiant Air’s parent company is still profitable, but less so than before the pandemic. Those kind of numbers led United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby to declare recently that low-cost carriers were using “a fundamentally flawed business model” and customers hate flying on them. Kirby’s touchdown dance might turn out to be premature, but many analysts are wary about the near-term prospects for budget airlines, which charge cheaper fares but more fees than the big airlines. A traveler speaks with a Spirit Airlines agent May 24 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport ahead of Memorial Day in Atlanta. Low-cost airlines grew in the last two decades by undercutting big carriers on ticket prices, thanks in large part to lower costs, including hiring younger workers who were paid less than their counterparts at Delta Air Lines, United and American Airlines . Wages soared across the industry in the past two years, however, narrowing that cost advantage. The big airlines rolled out and refined their no-frills, “basic economy” tickets to compete directly with Spirit, Frontier and other budget carriers for the most price-sensitive travelers. The budget airlines became less efficient at using planes and people. As their growth slowed, they wound up with more of both than they needed. In 2019, Spirit planes were in the air an average of 12.3 hours every day. By this summer, the planes spent an average of two more hours each day sitting on the ground, where they don't make money. Spirit's costs per mile jumped 32% between 2019 and 2023. Another issue is that airlines added too many flights. Budget airlines and Southwest Airlines were among the worst offenders, but full-service airlines piled on. To make up for a drop in business travel, the big carriers added more flights on domestic leisure routes. The result: Too many seats on flights into popular tourist destinations such as Florida and Las Vegas, which drove down prices, especially for economy-class tickets. Rows of seats are shown Sept. 26 on a retrofitted Southwest Airlines jet at Love Field in Dallas. Low-cost airlines are responding by following the old adage that if you can't beat them, join them. That means going premium, following the rapidly growing household wealth among upper-income people. The top one-fifth of U.S. households by income added $35 trillion in wealth since 2019 and holds nearly nine times the wealth of the middle fifth, according to the Federal Reserve . Frontier Airlines organized its fares into four bundles in May, with buyers of higher-priced tickets getting extras such as priority boarding, more legroom and checked bags. The airline dropped ticket-change or cancellation fees except for the cheapest bundle. Spirit followed in August with similar changes, blocking middle seats and charging passengers more for the comfort of aisle and window seats. Spirit Airlines CEO Ted Christie received a $3.8 million retention bonus a week before the Florida-based carrier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Christie will retain the bonus if he remains with the company for another year. The airline's stock has dropped over 90% this year. It has faced challenges including a blocked $3.8 billion merger with JetBlue and failed talks with Frontier. The pandemic disrupted Spirit's operations and travel patterns, reducing its daily aircraft utilization and increasing costs. Demand has shifted to full-service airlines as higher-income travelers vacation more, while inflation impacts lower-income consumers. JetBlue Airways , which began flying more than 20 years ago as a low-cost carrier but with amenities, is digging out from years of steady losses. Under new CEO Joanna Geraghty, the first woman to lead a major U.S. airline, JetBlue is cutting unprofitable routes, bolstering core markets that include the Northeast and Florida, and delaying deliveries of $3 billion worth of new planes. Starting next year, Southwest Airlines will toss out a half-century tradition of “open seating” — passengers picking their own seat after boarding the plane. Executives say extensive surveying showed 80% of customers preferred an assigned seat, and that's especially true with coveted business travelers. More crowded planes also might be pushing passengers to spend more to escape a middle seat in the back of the plane. A Frontier Airlines jet takes off July 5, 2022, from Denver International Airport in Denver. In other parts of the world, budget carriers are doing just fine. They bounced back from the pandemic just like their more highbrow competitors. Some industry experts say low-cost carriers in Asia and Europe have always attracted a more diverse mix of passengers, while in the U.S., affluent and middle-class travelers look down their noses at low-cost carriers. Jamie Baker, an analyst for JPMorgan, says he has many college friends who work in London and fly Irish airline Ryanair all the time, but he hardly knows anyone who has ever been on a Spirit or Frontier plane. A small plane tows a banner April 13, 2016, over Flint Bishop International Airport as part of ceremonies marking Allegiant Air joining the airport. Delta CEO Ed Bastian is less dismissive of the “lower-end carriers” in the U.S. than United's Kirby. "I don’t see that segment ever disappearing,” Bastian said after Spirit’s bankruptcy filing. “I think there’s a market for it.” At the same time, he said the upscale moves by ultra-low-cost carriers are having no effect on his airline. Delta targets upscale travelers but also introduced basic-economy fares a decade ago, when discounters emerged as a growing threat to poach some of Delta's customers. “Just calling yourself a premium carrier and actually being a premium carrier are two totally different things,” Bastian said “It's not the size of the seat or how much room you have; it's the overall experience.” As frequent flyers know, air travel isn't cheap. With the summer months in full swing, demand for air travel is expected to reach record numbers in 2024 as airlines continue to recover after the COVID-19 pandemic. Luckily for those who are looking for ways to save on travel , one way to cut costs on your next vacation may be in finding the right places to fly in and out of. FinanceBuzz looked at average domestic airfares from the 45 busiest airports in the U.S. to learn which airports are best for travelers on a budget, as well as which ones to avoid if you are trying to travel affordably. Overall, the national average airfare cost decreased by 3.1% from 2022 to 2023 when adjusted for inflation (which translates to a 0.9% increase in non-adjusted dollars). The last time inflation-adjusted airfare costs dropped year-over-year was during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it fell 18% between 2019 and 2020. Largely, this is good news for consumers who can spend less on airfare and have more room in their budget for hotels , restaurants, and other travel fees. In addition to earning rewards on airfare, most travel credit cards offer rewards for spending in these areas, which can offset overall vacation costs. Based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the above chart shows inflation-adjusted average airline fares over the past 25 years. For this report, we compared domestic airfares from the 45 busiest airports in the U.S. using data published by the U.S. Department of Transportation . For the third year in a row, Dulles International Airport (IAD) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) have the two highest average fares in the country. Flights from Dulles cost $488.40 on average in 2023, while flights from San Francisco cost $444.59. Some silver lining for travelers who need to travel through Dulles: IAD is home to some of the best airport lounges in the country, including the recently-opened Capital One Lounge, available to Capital One Venture X or Venture Rewards credit card holders. With free food, drinks, and recharging stations, lounges can be one easy way to offset otherwise-expensive airport costs. Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) has the third-highest average airfare in the country, with an average cost of $438.34. Last on our top-five list of the most expensive airports are Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and Detroit Metro Airport (DTW). Average airfare from Charlotte cost $436.80 last year, while flights from Detroit had an average price tag of $427.05. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) was the biggest affordability winner over the last year, dropping prices by more than $18 on average. SEA jumped from 36th most-affordable place last year to 28th place this year — an increase of eight spots. Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and Portland International Airport (PDX) experienced similar jumps, rising by seven spots each. RDU went from 24th place in 2022 to 17th in 2023, while PDX went from 42nd to 35th. Two different airports fell by eight spots in our affordability rankings, tied for the biggest drop of the year. The average fare at Sacramento International Airport (SMF) rose by $18.66 year-over-year, which led SMF to go from 18th in last year's affordability rankings to 26th this year. Prices rose even more at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), going up by $19.64 on average from one year to the next. Consequently, STL fell from 21st to 29th place in terms of affordability. As you plan your travel, you'll find costs can vary widely at a single airport. With a little research and smart planning, you can find a deal at any airport. Here are a few tips to save on airfare: We looked at 2023 airfare data released by the U.S. Department of Transportation in May 2024 to compare domestic airfares by origin city. This report calculated average fares based on domestic itinerary fares. "Itinerary fares" consist of round-trip fares, unless only a one-way ticket was purchased. In that case, the one-way fare was used. Fares are based on total ticket value, including the price charged by the airline plus any additional taxes and fees levied at the time of purchase. Fares include only the price paid at booking and do not include fees for optional services like baggage fees. Averages also do not include frequent-flyer or "zero fares" or a few abnormally high reported fares. This stor y was produced by FinanceBuzz and reviewed and distributed by Stacker Media. Orlando International Airport (MCO) had the lowest airfare cost in the country at $265.58 on average. Home to iconic theme parks like Universal Studios, Sea World, and most notably, Walt Disney World, Orlando is one of America's top tourist destinations. This is welcome news for those bracing for expensive park tickets and food prices at the House of Mouse. Beyond saving with a Disney credit card on park-related purchases, visitors can also maximize savings by using a credit card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve which offers an annual travel credit, or even using a 0% APR credit card if you don't want to pay for your entire vacation at once. Another Florida-based airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), has the second-lowest average airfare cost in the country — tickets here are only about $5 more expensive than Orlando's. Just a few dollars behind FLL is Las Vegas's Harry Reid International (LAS), where fares cost $272.15 on average. LAS is also the last airport on our list where average airfare costs are less than $300. Oakland International Airport (OAK) has the fourth-lowest average airfare costs in the country at $303.79. And the fifth-least expensive airport, Chicago Midway International (MDW), comes in at $308.27. Receive the latest in local entertainment news in your inbox weekly!
The embassy, on Grosvenor Place in London, held the UK launch of Mr Murphy’s memoir, Running From Office, on Wednesday last week, posting on social media afterwards that it was an “insightful conversation led by Ryan Tubridy”. The two-hour-long event was hosted by Irish Ambassador to Britain, Martin Fraser, with former RTÉ broadcaster Ryan Tubridy leading the launch and subsequent discussion of Mr Murphy’s political memoir. Mr Fraser was previously secretary general at the Department of the Taoiseach, including while Mr Murphy was minister for housing, from 2011 until he took up the role of ambassador in 2022. The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Monday that the associated costs, including food, beverages and staffing, of the event were covered by its mission budget. “For each book launch hosted at the embassy, the costs for food, beverages and staff are met from the mission budget,” a spokeswoman for the department said. “In relation to the event in question, the book’s publisher, Eriu, wrote to the embassy with a proposal for the event. “The estimated cost of this event was £2,104 (€2,550),” the spokeswoman said. Asked about Mr Tubridy’s involvement, the department said no fees were paid by the embassy to any participant. [ The unravelling of a housing minister: Eoghan Murphy opens up about sleeping pills, manic running, anxiety and tears Opens in new window ] The department said the former minister for housing’s book launch was hosted by the ambassador as part of the embassy’s event programme. The programme, the spokeswoman said, includes up to 100 events per year, “covering a wide range of topics and a large number of events”. “In addition, the embassy supported the Irish Writers Weekend at the British Library, which featured over 30 Irish writers,” she said. The former minister’s event was one of seven book launches hosted by the Irish Embassy in London to date in 2024. Mr Murphy resigned his Dáil seat in 2021. His memoir, entitled Running From Office: Confessions of Ambition and Failure in Politics, details his time as minister for housing.

Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. Announces Monthly Operational Update for November 2024
Iceland is experiencing a crucial electoral moment after a call for early elections, driven by ongoing political instability since the 2008 financial collapse. Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson disbanded his coalition following disagreements on key issues, prompting this political shake-up. Despite fierce weather conditions, polling stations remained operational with counting taking place after polls closed. This election, the sixth since the crisis, may signal a major shift, as opinion polls predict a decline in support for current governing parties. Central issues include rising inflation, immigration pressures, and housing shortages, exacerbated by a recent volcano eruption and a booming tourism sector, placing Iceland's political future in a pivotal position. (With inputs from agencies.)Brock Purdy participated in the start of Thursday's practice with the 49ers but the San Francisco starting quarterback was not on the field for the majority of the workout, casting doubt over his availability to play Sunday at Green Bay. Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury and the 49ers are also potentially without left tackle Trent Williams and Nick Bosa due to injuries. Bosa was listed as out of Thursday's practice with an oblique injury. Williams also didn't suit up Thursday. He played through an ankle injury last week after being listed as questionable. Purdy's typical Thursday post-practice media session was scrapped until Friday as the 49ers did not make any quarterback available. Kyle Allen would step in for Purdy as the starter if he can't play against the Packers. Run game coordinator Chris Foerster said the 49ers aren't where they want to be at 5-5 because they haven't won close games, not because of injuries. "Seven games left is like an eternity," Foerster said. "So much can happen. Do the math. What was our record last year? It was 12-5. I was on a 13-win team that was nowhere near as good as the team last year." With or without Purdy, Foerster said the challenge for the 49ers is not to give up the ball to a defense that has 19 takeaways. The 49ers have 13 giveaways this season. --Field Level MediaThe NASCAR playoff system is under scrutiny following public backlash in the 2024 season. Despite the criticism, industry expert Jordan Bianchi has asserted that no major redesign is on the horizon. Instead, he heralds the playoffs as an essential element of the racing calendar. The current NASCAR playoff format, which dictates the champion of the Cup Series, dates back to 2004 with significant modifications in 2014 to introduce an elimination-style competition. This system begins with 16 drivers selected by regular-season wins and points, narrowing down to a decisive final race in Phoenix. Despite calls for change after Joey Logano's unexpected championship win—an outcome seen as not reflective of season performance given his 17.1 average finish, the worst among champions—experts suggest realignment, not overhaul, is more applicable. Speaking on The Teardown podcast , Bianchi commented on the backlash and if changes could be made to the playoff system: "The Playoff format isn't going to change. I'll say, before the last 20 laps of this race, or whatever it was, this was a damn good playoff race. "This underlined the fact of why this playoff format is so good, because you had (Ryan) Blaney and (Chase) Elliot and I'll throw (Kyle) Larson in there, and you had (Denny) Hamlin's great run from the back, which is going to get overlooked today. "All these guys are going at it, the gloves are off, they're racing hard but clean – physical but clean – and they're going for the win. This is a byproduct of the Playoff system, and it was fantastic to watch unfold. And it's not going to change, I'm sorry. This playoff format is here to stay." NASCAR President Steve Phelps has also defended the format's ability to deliver a dramatic end to the season. He explained : "The format is the format. And we are always looking if there are opportunities for us to tweak something, so be it. "We are not the only sport where the best statistical team does not get to the Final Four or the Super Bowl or the World Series. The format — there was a huge emphasis put 10 years ago when the format was put into place about winning. Three of the four on Sunday, they won to get through. I go back to the format itself I think creates incredible racing." Despite mixed reviews, NASCAR's viewership remains robust, evidenced by a 1% increase across events and a notable 6% surge in playoff ratings. Approximately 2.895 million viewers tuned in for the championship race.
Michigan Takes Final Shot at Ohio State Following Rivalry GameWipro (₹577.85) has announced bonus with a ratio of 1:1. The face value per equity share is ₹2. The split will lead to necessary adjustments in the futures and options (F&O) contracts on this stock on the record date. The company has decided December 3 as the record/effective date. On this day, the stock price and all derivatives contracts on Wipro will be adjusted appropriately. With respect to adjustment in futures contracts, the reference rate of the relevant contract on December 2 will be considered. Reference rate will be the mark-to-market settlement price of the relevant futures contract. So, the open positions shall be carried forward to December 3 at the daily settlement price on December 2 divided by 2, the adjustment factor. Suppose the nearest expiry futures (December contract) closes at ₹600 on December 2, it will be revised to ₹300 (₹600 divided by 2). Also, the lot size will go up 2 times from current 1,500 shares to 3,000 shares per contract. Hence, there won’t be any change in the contract value. Likewise, in options, all the strike prices in the option chain of Wipro will be divided by 2 from December 3. For example, the strike price of 600 and 590 will be modified to 300 and 295 respectively. That said, the above measures are not likely to impact the overall trend of this stock. So, traders can stick to their views and are only required to note the changes in the contracts that they hold. CommentsOn day seven of " 12 Days of OpenAI ," the company announced Projects in ChatGPT — a way to customize and organize your chats. Well, they aren't all going to be bangers. But this one has been deemed useful by the OpenAI team for creating and organizing various projects by pulling ChatGPT's various capabilities into one place. That includes Canvas support and connection to the web via ChatGPT Search . Today's announcement wasn't a massive technological breakthrough like Sora or GPT-5 ( if that's still happening ). Instead, it focused on user experience tweaks to make ChatGPT more of an everything app, that's your go-to for writing, research, programming, web-search, and soon to come executing multi-step tasks . It may have not been a super exciting update, but it hints at OpenAI's plans to further embed ChatGPT into everyday life. In the demo, CPO Kevin Weil, joined by OpenAI's Drew Schuster and Thomas Dimson showed how Projects could be used to create a Secret Santa project. Schuster uploaded the Secret Santa group and their requests, then asked ChatGPT to randomly assign them to each other. He then asked ChatGPT to draft an email to the group. In another example, Schuster uploaded notes about various home appliances and used ChatGPT to ask when he should change the water filter in his fridge. This is useful if you're super organized and already wrote down important notes about home maintenance. Or you could check your notes. Moving on, Dimson used Projects to create a personal website while leaning on ChatGPT Canvas to modify the website template. ChatGPT recognized the template code and correctly made the modifications. Projects was shipped (live in the livestream) to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Teams users, with Enterprise and Edu users receiving the feature early in the new year.
The Canadian government may face early resignation, and its leader, Justin Trudeau, could lose his chances of remaining prime minister. The political crisis erupted all of a sudden with the resignation of Chrystia Freeland, a Canadian politician of Ukrainian descent, from her positions as deputy prime minister and finance minister. Freeland cited disagreements with Trudeau over economic policy ahead of Donald Trump's announced introduction of trade tariffs on Canada as the reason for her departure. Read more about the implications of this development, including its impact on Ukraine, in the article by Dmytro Sherengovsky, Program Director of the Dnistrianskyi Centre – Trudeau, it's time to say goodbye! How Chrystia Freeland's resignation signals big changes in Canada. The official reason for Freeland’s resignation, and likely the final straw , was her divergence from Trudeau on Canada’s response to Trump’s pledge to impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico unless these countries address illegal migration and drug trafficking (particularly fentanyl) to the United States. These accusations are not entirely groundless, as both Canada and Mexico have more liberal immigration policies and less restrictive entry conditions compared to the US, which migrants often exploit. Additionally, some Canadian and Mexican exports are exempt from tariffs under the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), a compromise deal crafted during Trump’s first term. This announcement caught Canada off guard , as 75% of its exports are to the US. Freeland advocated for a tougher Canadian response, significant government spending cuts, and preparation for economic tightening during Trump’s presidency. Meanwhile, in late November, Trudeau decided to waive taxes on certain goods and services (toys, food, decor, entertainment, etc.) in several provinces for the Christmas season, extending through February 2025. This clear populist move aimed to counteract the government's declining ratings and bolster the Liberal Party's support. Tensions between Trudeau and Freeland had been building for years, becoming apparent as early as the 2018 NAFTA renegotiations. By 2024, the rift had reached a breaking point. Freeland pushed for deeper spending cuts, while Trudeau focused on expanding social programmes and promoting the green transition. Conspiracy theories circulated that Trump had demanded Freeland’s removal as a condition for negotiating with Trudeau, citing her tough stance during NAFTA talks and her strong pro-Ukraine position, which could hinder Canada’s alignment with Trump’s vision for a rapid peace deal on terms unfavorable to Ukraine. Although this theory is speculative, its context contains some elements of truth. Trump had frequently used criticism of Freeland as a political tool during NAFTA negotiations, reportedly referring to her as an unwelcome negotiator, according to Politico . Freeland's resignation exposed divisions within the Liberal Party that had previously been kept out of public view. To address internal party issues, Trudeau employed his usual tactic of reshuffling the cabinet. These changes "awakened" Canada’s opposition. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced that "the Liberals don’t deserve another chance" and pledged to call for a vote of no confidence at the next parliamentary session starting on 27 January. If the opposition unites (and it seems likely they will), they could secure enough votes to pass the motion of no confidence. Interestingly, this political crisis in Canada poses no risks for Kyiv and could even bring additional benefits.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A fight broke out at midfield after Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday as Wolverines players attempted to plant their flag and were met by Buckeyes who confronted them. Police had to use pepper spray to break up the players, who threw punches and shoves in the melee that overshadowed the rivalry game. Ohio State police said in a statement “multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray.” Ohio State police will investigate the fight, according to the statement. After the Ohio State players confronted their bitter rivals at midfield, defensive end Jack Sawyer grabbed the top of the Wolverines' flag and ripped it off the pole as the brawl moved toward the Michigan bench. Eventually, police officers rushed into the ugly scene. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said he understood the actions of his players. “There are some prideful guys on our team who weren't going to sit back and let that happen,” Day said. The two Ohio State players made available after the game brushed off questions about it. Michigan running back Kalel Mullings, who rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown, didn't like how the Buckeyes players involved themselves in the Wolverines' postgame celebration. He called it “classless.” “For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game," he said in an on-field interview with Fox Sports. “It’s just bad for the sport, bad for college football. But at the end of the day, you know some people got to — they got to learn how to lose, man. ... We had 60 minutes, we had four quarters, to do all that fighting.” Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said everybody needs to do better. “So much emotions on both sides," he said. "Rivalry games get heated, especially this one. It’s the biggest one in the country, so we got to handle that better.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
