A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media

Contact InformationSouth Korean President Yoon's impeachment vote fails after ruling party boycotts itSEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean legislative push to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived imposition of martial law fell through on Saturday after most lawmakers from his conservative governing party boycotted the vote. The defeat of the motion is expected to intensify public protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative party, but it is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals. Impeaching Yoon required support from two-thirds of the National Assembly, or 200 of its 300 members. The opposition parties who brought the impeachment motion had 192 seats, but only three lawmakers from PPP participated in the vote. The motion was scrapped without ballot counting because the number of votes didn’t reach 200. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik called the result “very regrettable” and an embarrassing moment for the country’s democracy that has been closely watched by the world. “The failure to hold a qualified vote on this matter means we were not even able to exercise the democratic procedure of deciding on a critical national issue,” he said. Opposition parties could submit a new impeachment motion after a new parliamentary session opens next Wednesday. There are worries that Yoon won’t be able to serve out his remaining 2 1⁄2 years in office because his leadership took a huge hit. Many experts say some ruling party lawmakers could eventually join opposition parties’ efforts to impeach Yoon if public demands for it grow further. If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office. If he is removed, an election to replace him must take place within 60 days. Woo repeatedly urged ruling party members to return to the chamber to participate in the vote, waiting several hours for them to come. At one point, Democratic Party leaders visited a hall on the floor below the main chamber where PPP lawmakers were gathered, attempting to persuade them to vote. After being blocked from entering, they angrily accused the conservatives’ leadership of preventing its lawmakers from voting freely. Earlier Saturday, Yoon issued a public apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose martial law. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” “The declaration of this martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologize to the people who must have been shocked a lot,” Yoon said. Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” The turmoil resulting from Yoon’s bizarre and poorly-thought-out stunt has paralyzed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners like the U.S. and Japan. Tuesday night saw special forces troops encircling the parliament building and army helicopters hovering over it, but the military withdrew after the National Assembly unanimously voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to lift it before daybreak Wednesday. The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. Eighteen lawmakers from the ruling party voted to reject Yoon’s martial law decree along with opposition lawmakers. Yoon’s speech fueled speculation that he and his party may push for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term, instead of accepting impeachment, as a way to ease public anger over the marital law and facilitate Yoon’s early exit from office. Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party, told reporters that Yoon’s speech was “greatly disappointing” and that the only way forward is his immediate resignation or impeachment. His party called Yoon’s martial law “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or coup.” The passage of Yoon’s impeachment motion appeared more likely Friday when the chair of Yoon’s party called for his removal on Friday, but the party remained formally opposed to impeachment. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people densely packed several blocks of roads leading up to the National Assembly, waving banners, shouting slogans and dancing and singing along to K-pop songs with lyrics changed to call for Yoon’s ouster. Protesters also gathered in front of PPP’s headquarters near the Assembly, angrily shouting for its lawmakers to vote to impeach Yoon. A smaller crowd of Yoon’s supporters, which still seemed to be in the thousands, rallied in separate streets in Seoul, decrying the impeachment attempt they saw as unconstitutional. Lawmakers on Saturday first voted on a bill appointing a special prosecutor to investigate stock price manipulation allegations surrounding Yoon’s wife. Some lawmakers from Yoon’s party were seen leaving the hall after that vote, triggering angry shouts from opposition lawmakers. On Friday, PPP chair Han Dong-hun, who criticized Yoon’s martial law declaration, said he had received intelligence that during the brief period of martial law Yoon ordered the country’s defense counterintelligence commander to arrest and detain unspecified key politicians based on accusations of “anti-state activities.” Hong Jang-won, first deputy director of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing Friday that Yoon had ordered him to help the defense counterintelligence unit to detain key politicians. The targeted politicians included Han, Lee and Woo, according to Kim Byung-kee, one of the lawmakers who attended the meeting. The Defense Ministry said Friday it suspended three military commanders including the head of the defense counterintelligence unit over their involvement in enforcing martial law. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon Ho has told parliament that Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun ordered the deployment of troops to the National Assembly after Yoon imposed martial law. Opposition parties accused Kim of recommending to Yoon to enforce martial law. Kim resigned Thursday, and prosecutors imposed an overseas travel ban on him.

Rain, particularly the harsh variety that causes widespread devastation, is a leveler. It affects everybody and interferes with their routine. But in the realm of politics in Tamil Nadu rain is used as a stick to beat the ruling party. So when it rains, amidst the pitter patter that it causes, there is a howl of anger from various quarters. It happened last week when it rained cats and dogs in some districts of the State. Though Chennai and its surroundings were also affected to some extent, it was in some districts where the skies opened up to bring in one spell a downpour that the place otherwise gets through the year. When such a situation makes people run helter skelter seeking succor, the habitual critics of the government converge at one point. They find a reason to run down the government or is it a bid to bring it down. Whatever it is, rains in Tamil Nadu have been playing a prominent role in politics as they serve as a weapon for politicking particularly after 2015 when Chennai went under water without prior warning. In the olden days, when floods strike, someone in government will take a helicopter ride over the affected places to make an assessment of the damage. Since the journey would be shot in camera and the black and white footage screened as ‘news reel’ before the start of a movie in a theatre, people will know about the disaster and sympathize with the victims. Whatever the person who took the helicopter ride would utter would be taken at face value. But now, at least in Tamil Nadu, if it rains and if it brings devastation, the government is squarely blamed by the opposition parties. Maybe because more people repose more faith now on weather forecasts, which were earlier considered as jokes when announced over Doordarshan or All India Radio. Since the government, too, issues warnings to people based on the weather forecasts that are keenly followed on television, some opposition party leaders think that if devastation happens, the blame should be placed at the government’s doorsteps. This trend of politicizing disasters had, in earlier years, seen some opposition leaders attempting photo shoots to send across the message that the government had failed to prevent inundation in places where people lived. A particular honcho from an opposition once rushed, despite the discomfort, to comfort the affected people by engaging a boat to reach those places that are otherwise connected by roads. It’s a different story that the boat had run aground in the extremely shallow water and the leader had stood exposed for staging the drama. Still, accusations are hurled at the government through political statements and social media messages on the official inefficiency in not facilitating the water to drain out in a jiffy and thus inconveniencing the people. Even if the government made arrangements to evacuate people from low lying areas and even housed them in camps, the shrill voice of the opposition would resonate in political circles, always pointing fingers at the government's inability to not disrupt the people’s lives. In the latest rain disaster, brought about by Cyclone Fengal, which threw life in a few districts of northern Tamil Nadu out of gear, the government was accused of opening the floodgates of Sathanur dam in Tiruvannamalai district without a warning. Of course the government was quick to deny it and clarify that five warnings were indeed issued by the authorities and that the dam was opened only when the reservoir was filled to the brim. Yet, the charges of procrastination flew from the opposition camp as the excess water that was let into the Thenpennai River caused a deluge displacing people from their homes. Interestingly, the ruling party went not only into the defensive but also offensive. In its defence it said that there was no loss of life due to the flooding though it happened in the night. It also hit out at the opposition party in whose time the sudden opening of the Chembarambakkam reservoir in Chennai plunged the State capital into a disaster in 2015. So, both the ruling party and the prime opposition party were involved in virtual mudslinging over the Sathanur dam opening, which actually averted a major catastrophe. A real mudslinging, too, happened with grim political motives during the rains. A minister who went to address the grievances of the people of a village in Villupuram district, was welcomed with a barrage of mud. The real politics behind the incident, which was immediately given due publicity through social media by an opposition political leader with the comment that it showed people’s frustration, came to light much later when the police identified a man and a woman who had hurled the mud. The woman was a member of the same leader’s party. Though some people warned that such humiliation of political leaders who visited people during times of calamities would only serve as a deterrent for politicians to address people’s grievances, floods of the past had only proved that many politicians would not miss an opportunity to make political hay when it rained. In fact, going by the latest trend, it looks that political leaders seek to score brownie points when it rained. The ruling party by showcasing their efficient handling of the disaster and the opposition by pointing fingers at the lapses.Hillenbrand Declares First Quarter Dividend of $0.225 Per Share
Fine sportsman, great debater, big appetite but weak stomach
NoneThe Green Bay Packers needed interior offensive linemen and linebackers. On Saturday, general manager Brian Gutekunst added former draft picks to the practice squad to address both issues: Guard Marquis Hayes and off-ball linebacker Michael Barrett. As a corresponding move, the Packers released wide receiver Malik Knowles from the PS. Linebacker The issue at off-ball linebacker came up after Edgerrin Cooper hurt his hamstring last week. He missed the past two games because of it. Isaiah McDuffie is playing through an ankle injury, and the Minnesota Vikings signed Jamin Davis off the Packers' practice squad. So Green Bay compensated for that by adding Michael Barrett, a rookie from Michigan — where he won a national championship and was named to the All-Big Ten team in 2022 and 2023. He was a seventh-round pick by the Carolina Panthers this year, but ended up being traded to the Seattle Seahawks in August. He started the regular season on the Seahawks' practice squad, and also spent some time on the Cleveland Browns' PS. Guard The Packers have an issue at interior offensive lineman since Jordan Morgan went on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. The only backup player at the position on the 53-man roster is center Jacob Monk, and he's been inactive lately. Donovan Jennings, a guard, is also on the practice squad since the start of the season. Marquis Hayes is a seventh-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. He spent the first two seasons of his career with the Cardinals. He started this season on the team's PS, but was later released. Hayes spent the last two months on the Washington Commanders' practice squad. He hasn't played any regular season downs in the NFL. Both players the Packers signed had worked out for the team on Friday. Green Bay also worked out linebackers Sterling Weatherford and Tyler Murray, guard J.D. DiRenzo, and wide receiver Rory Starkey. Malik Knowles, who was released by the Packers, is a second-year player and had been on the practice squad since October. The decision to move comes because the Packers have three other wide receivers on the practice squad, Julian Hicks, Cornelius Johnson, and recently re-signed Alex McGough .
