Intech Investment Management LLC Has $806,000 Stock Position in Black Hills Co. (NYSE:BKH)COLUMBUS, Ohio — Every day, Ohio State linebacker Cody Simon walks past the countdown in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, a gentle reminder throughout the year of the matchup against Michigan and what’s to come in late November. That reminder is no longer very gentle. Latest Ohio State Buckeyes news Ohio State football’s star defender named finalist for 2 national awards ‘This game is a war’: What Ryan Day said before Ohio State football vs. Michigan ‘Do I know you’: Mike Vrabel shares funny story about former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer Four-star 2025 defensive lineman decommits from Ohio State The Buckeyes matchup against the Wolverines on Saturday is set to take on a bit of a different tone than previous years, as 6-5 Michigan is looking to play spoiler over 10-1 Ohio State with a fourth-straight win over the Buckeyes. But the countdown for Simon and other Ohio State seniors, more importantly, will reach 1,827 days on Saturday — the five-year stretch from Ohio State’s last win in the series in 2019 to its next potential win. It’s now the last chance for Simon, and for the entirety of the famed 2021 recruiting class, to get the job done. “It’d just be everything,” Simon said of what a win would mean to him. “You can’t describe it with anything tangible. Just fulfillment in a lot of areas and joy for the team. And for all the seniors that came back, too.” Senior receiver Emeka Egbuka knows exactly what he’d do after a win over Michigan, too. “You come to Ohio State to beat The Team Up North, to win a pair of gold pants,” Egbuka said. “Just handing the gold pants to my mother is a memory I’m really looking forward to.” That chance has never come, though. Ohio State has lost, in 2021, 2022 and 2023, to Michigan in equally deflating ways. In 2021, it was because Michigan ran the ball at will right at, and through, Ohio State. In 2022, it was big plays allowed and three points scored in the second half that doomed the Buckeyes. And in 2023, Michigan played a mistake-free football game — with, once again, a ground-and-pound approach. Add in the sign-stealing scandal, and there’s a cloud over the last three years that no one can quite shake. That, amongst other things, kept Egbuka and a bevy of other draft-eligible players from last year’s team on the fence about what to do with their futures. So when it came time to decide what to do for the 2024 season, the Michigan game certainly factored into the equation about nearly all of them returning for a last run. “I think that we’re worried about what we got going on in our building,” Egbuka said. “We’re not too focused on the negative aspect of The Team Up North, but we’re focused on the positive energy and the love that we have for everybody in this building. So we’re going into that game ready to spill blood for each other because we love each other. Not necessarily going to war because we hate the other side.” That hatred is certainly there, though. And it’s played out in part through coach Ryan Day, who has undergone the most criticism of anyone in the program since 2021. “I think that he’s gone through a lot of things that a lot of people shouldn’t have to go through — all the scrutiny and all the stuff that people are saying about him,” Egbuka said. “But he’s a fantastic, great head coach and I wouldn’t have anybody else leading our team in the entire country. So we all have his back 100%, we’re rallying behind him and he says he wants to do this for us, but we also want to do it for him as well.” Every player that has been around for a few years has come to the defense of Day, who has been at the center of it all — from the losses, to the sign-stealing scandal, to barbs from Michigan’s former head coach. “He’s gone through so much, I don’t think he deserved any of that stuff he’s gone through,” Simon said. “He’s our leader, no matter he’s always standing in front of the team, and he’s taken all the heat. Taken all the bullets for everyone. If we can get this done for him, it would mean everything.” It’s hard to encapsulate what “everything” would mean for the Buckeyes, but it also fits considering most players needed to take a beat when asked what the win would mean. Ohio State is a program that hasn’t beaten its rival in almost 2,000 days. It has had to watch Michigan hoist a national title trophy and have the floor to make whatever comments they want. Now, with a weakened rival and perhaps the best Ohio State team of the last four years, there’s one more chance — likely the best chance — for the Buckeye seniors to topple Michigan. And when it comes to legacies for the Ohio State captains, beating Michigan is first on the list. “It’s kind of hard to put into words,” Egbuka said of what playing in the rivalry is like. “I think over the last three years you kind of see the depths of the rivalry and how it affects people and all that type of stuff. So, for the most part, football is just a game, but this rivalry definitely runs deep. I think it’s hard to explain and put into words, but once you experience it, you kind of know.”
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld announced their engagement in an Instagram post, Nov. 29, and the best part about it is that it was an unexpected update. We haven’t been intoxicated by the details of their relationship, so the news of their engagement was a nice surprise. Steinfeld, famous actress from “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” and her Buffalo Bills quarterback fiance, have had the most low-key love story, compared to that of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. We haven’t had their relationship smeared in our faces , despite the fact that Steinfeld attends Allen’s games and is famous in her own right. The cameras don’t stalk the famous actress when she’s rooting for her man, and we never hear about what she’s wearing, or which games she attends. This is the real NFL love story that we’re excited about and the Kelce/Swift relationship should take notes on why this romance is more genuinely celebrated than theirs. A post shared by Josh Allen (@joshallenqb) CLEVELAND, OH – AUGUST 17: Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills warms up before a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium on August 17, 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images) It was cute to see Kelce and Swift together at first, but the novelty of their love affair wore off when the coverage of Swift’s attendance at NFL games became an obnoxious overload. Fans that tune into watch a good old game of football have no interest in watching Swift bop up and down, and they sure as hell don’t care what she’s wearing. I struggle to understand the relevance of her attendance at Kansas City Chiefs games, yet it was hard to escape the constant coverage of her every move.

The mere fact that their relationship details aren’t shoved down our throats at every turn is a relief.

(Photo by The Hapa Blonde/GC Images) Getty Images They seem to have just fallen in love and taken natural, normal steps toward spending their lives together, without making a public spectacle of themselves. We can watch football when Steinfeld is there supporting Allen, and the cameras remain on the game — as they should. If I want to see Swift, there are several ways I can do that — a football game would never be the time or place that I’d choose. (RELATED: Taylor Swift Skipped Travis Kelce’s Game Despite Being Close By) Steinfeld and Allen were first linked in May 2023 and have both spoken about their desire to keep their personal life out of the headlines as much as possible. I’d say they’ve done a great job at it.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement of tariff plans sparked criticism Tuesday from Mexico, Canada and China and raised questions about whether the moves would violate international trade agreements — including one he renegotiated in his first term. Trump posted on social media Monday that as “one of my many first Executive Orders” he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada and a 10% additional tariff on China. He said the tariffs are in response to the ongoing fentanyl epidemic, crime and illegal immigration. More than 90% of intercepted fentanyl trafficked by cartels is found at ports of entry, primarily in vehicles driven by U.S. citizens, according to Customs and Border Protection. “As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before,” Trump posted. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” “Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!” Trump posted. On China, Trump posted that he had many talks about fentanyl and other drugs being sent into the United States, “But to no avail.” “Representatives of China told me that they would institute their maximum penalty, that of death, for any drug dealers caught doing this but, unfortunately, they never followed through, and drugs are pouring into our Country, mostly through Mexico, at levels never seen before,” Trump posted. Mexico is ranked as the top trading partner with the U.S., followed by Canada and then China, according to September U.S. Census Bureau data. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote a letter to Trump on his tariff announcement and read it at a press conference Tuesday. She said that Mexico has “developed a comprehensive policy” to address the flow of migrants into the U.S., citing CBP statistics that found crossings at the southwest border are down by 75% from last year. Sheinbaum said that Mexico has seized different types of drugs and arrested people for charges related to drug trafficking but that drug consumption “is a problem of public health and consumption in your country’s society.” She warned that the tariffs will harm the motor industry and would cause job losses and inflation in both the U.S. and Mexico. “One tariff would be followed by another in response, and so on until we put at risk common businesses,” Sheinbaum said. She is planning on discussing the tariffs with Trump’s team. Ontario Premier Doug Ford posted on social media that the tariffs would be “devastating to workers and jobs in both Canada and the U.S.” He called on Canada’s government to take the border situation seriously and said that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau must call the premiers for an “urgent meeting.” Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the U.S., posted on social media that no one will win a trade or tariff war. “China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial in nature,” he wrote, adding that China has worked with the U.S. to address fentanyl trafficking from China. Trade agreement violations Trade experts warn that Trump’s 25% tariffs would violate the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which the Trump administration negotiated during his first term, and cause trouble with the World Trade Organization. The agreement replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement in 2020, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative says that the agreement is a “mutually beneficial win for North American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses.” Mary E. Lovely, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said that Trump’s proposal would violate the agreement which requires low to zero tariffs on most products. PIIE is a nonprofit, nonpartisan trade research organization. “Tariffs are very low, obviously because of the USMCA, which President Trump himself renegotiated,” Lovely said. “So we know that tariffs of 25% would be very destabilizing to North American production networks, and in particular, to autos.” National Foreign Trade Council President Jake Colvin also said that the tariffs would be a “clear violation of the USMCA.” NFTC advocates on issues related to international tax and trade, global supply chains and national security policies. Colvin warned that the cost of tariffs can fall on business and consumers and noted the retaliation threat from Sheinbaum. “While we’re all familiar with the President-elect’s fondness for tariffs as a negotiating tool, it’s particularly troubling that he’s threatening to aim them at America’s closest allies and trading partners on the very first day of his administration,” he said in a statement. Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, said Tuesday in a conference call with Iowa reporters that the tariffs could be used as a negotiation tool, but said tariffs were tricky “because we in Iowa and throughout the agricultural community know that the first thing that’s retaliated against is agriculture.” “I just think we need to get tariffs down,” Grassley said in the call, according to RadioIowa and other outlets. “And that doesn’t bad mouth, in no way is that meant to disagree with Trump because I think he’s using tariffs as a negotiating tool.” Negotiation tool or not, the tariffs could also cause trouble with the World Trade Organization. “Both Canada and Mexico are members of the WTO. They’re supposed to get most-favored-nation rates at a minimum,” Lovely said. “He’d be in violation of our treaty under the WTO.” Most-favored-nation status is a tenet of the WTO that requires equal treatment among trading partners, meaning that if an advantage is offered to one country it must be extended across the board to others within the WTO, though there are some exceptions. China is also a member of the WTO and has most-favored-nation status. If the tariffs are imposed, the three countries could file to resolve the trade dispute with the WTO but that path would likely go nowhere. “There is an appellate body, which is supposed to take appeals, but the U.S. refuses to allow them to seat judges, so there isn’t a panel to hear the case,” Lovely said. If a case is lost, a member can appeal knowing the process won’t work, known as “appealing into the void.” It’s unclear how Trump will impose the tariffs, but one avenue he could use is through the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers law. The IEEPA grants the president control over economic transactions. But the law has several restrictions and checks, according to the Congressional Research Service, including consulting with Congress before exercising the authority and immediately transmitting a report afterward and again every six months the authority is in place. Congress can terminate the emergency through a privileged joint resolution, and it can be challenged through the judicial system, opening up Trump’s tariff plans to possible lawsuits. ©2024 CQ-Roll Call, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
