BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored a hat trick including two penalties for Bayern Munich to beat Augsburg 3-0 in the Bundesliga on Friday. The win stretched Bayern’s lead to eight points ahead of the rest of the 11th round, and Kane took his goals tally to a league-leading 14. The England forward is the fastest player to 50 goals in the Bundesliga in what was his 43rd game. However, coach Vincent Kompany should be concerned by his team’s ongoing difficulty of scoring in matches it dominates. Bayern previously defeated St. Pauli and Benfica only 1-0. Kompany’s team had to wait until stoppage time before Kane sealed the result with his second penalty. Two minutes later, Kane scored with a header after controlling Leon Goretzka's cross with his first touch for a flattering scoreline. “We had to be patient,” Kane said. “And at halftime that’s what we said, to keep doing what we’re doing. We had a few chances in the first half and we just had to be a bit more clinical and obviously, thankfully, we got the penalty to kind of open the game up.” Mads Pedersen was penalized for handball following a VAR review and Kane duly broke the deadlock in the 63rd. Bayern continued as before with 80% possession, but had to wait for Keven Schlotterbeck to be penalized through VAR for a foul on Kane. Kane sealed the result in the third minute of stoppage time and there was still time for him to grab another. It’s Bayern’s sixth consecutive win without conceding a goal since it conceded four at Barcelona (4-1) on Oct. 23 in the Champions League. “You can see now that we have a solid defense and that's the basis, also in games like today's,” Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich said. “When it's a game of patience, then it's important for us to know that sometimes one goal will have to do. Like today we added two more before the finish, but in the end you only need to score one more than the opponent.” Bayern next hosts Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, then Borussia Dortmund away in the Bundesliga next weekend, before defending champion Bayer Leverkusen visits in the third round of the German Cup.

The British Columbia government is increasing tax incentives for both local and international film and TV projects in an effort to attract more major productions to the province. Premier David Eby said the tax credit for international projects made in B.C. will jump from 28 to 36 per cent, and an incentive for Canadian-content productions will increase from 35 to 36 per cent. There's also a special bonus to attract blockbuster productions with budgets of $200 million. Speaking on Thursday at the Martini Town studio, a New-York-themed backlot in Langley, B.C., Eby said tax incentives are the province's "competitive advantage" and increasing them will help the industry that has been battered by the pandemic, labour disruptions and changes to industry practices. "This is a sector that's taken some hits. The decision by major studios to ... reduce some of their budgets on production, the impact of labour disruptions, other jurisdictions competing with British Columbia for these productions with significant subsidies for the industry, means that we need to respond," Eby said, the Manhattan street scene behind him decorated for Christmas. "We need to make sure that we continue to be competitive." Government numbers show the film industry generated $2.7 billion in GDP in 2022 — roughly one per cent of provincial GDP — and $2 billion in 2023, a year affected by strike action and a decrease in global production A government statement says the incentives begin with productions that have principal photography starting Jan. 1, 2025, and projects with costs of greater than $200 million in B.C. will receive a two per cent bonus. Gemma Martini, chair of industry organization Screen BC and CEO of Martini Film Studios, told the news conference that it has been a "tumultuous" year for film and television, which supports tens of thousands of jobs. "It is clear that British Columbia is a well respected and preferred global production partner, but we must be able to compete at the bottom line," she said. "We expect, we know, our government's announcement will put B.C. back in the game to earn our true 'Hollywood north' reputation." Foreign film and TV work makes up an average of 80 per cent of total production spending in B.C., and the government says maintaining strong international relationships is critical for the industry to continue to thrive. The government says it also intends to restore regional and distant-location tax credits that were cut last year for companies with a brick-and-mortar presence outside of Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Whistler and Squamish. Eby first promised to increase the tax credits as part of his election campaign earlier this year. Just days after the new B.C. cabinet was announced in November, a delegation that included Finance Minister Brenda Bailey and Arts and Culture Minister Spencer Chandra Herbert travelled to California to pitch B.C.'s film and TV industry. Chandra Herbert told the news conference that during the trip they met industry representatives who are now looking at B.C. "in a bigger way" because of the new incentives. He said the additional two per cent bonus for productions over $200 million is a way to encourage larger productions to come and stay in B.C. "This is a way of making sure that the workers in this industry, and the companies, know that we're here for them for the long term. You can make these investments long term. You can grow the industry today, tomorrow and into the years ahead," he said.

Biden the Father vs. Biden the Institutionalist[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2.] Yellowstone has almost killed off one character per episode in what’s presumed to be its final season. Out of four episodes released so far (and just two more to go), three have featured a major character death. The first was John Dutton’s, brought about by Kevin Costner’s shocking exit from the series. Viewers assumed the Dutton patriarch would be killed off to explain Costner’s absence from Season 5 Part 2. But the subsequent deaths have been more shocking. Sarah Atwood’s (Dawn Olivieri) murder made sense for the story, given the hit she ordered on John didn’t go as planned in the aftermath. But the death of Denim Richards ‘ Colby in Episode 12 was entirely unnecessary, if you ask us. Not only because the story didn’t need it, but also because it took time away from addressing the burning questions we still need answered before the show closes up shop ( if Season 5 really is the end — the show is certainly keeping viewers on their toes ). Here, we lay out the remaining burning questions we need answered before Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 comes to a close, in no particular order. The biggest one is the one we’ve already addressed: When will Rip ( Cole Hauser ) find out what Jamie ( Wes Bentley ) did to Beth ( Kelly Reilly ), and will Kayce ( Luke Grimes ) find out? We lay out those possibilities here , but below, find our other lingering questions. Wes Bentley as Jamie and Katherine Cunningham as Christine in Yellowstone (Paramount Network) The last viewers heard about Jamie’s son was in Season 5 Part 1, when Jamie was driving Beth home from her overnight prison stint. Beth lashed out in rage at the sight of the car seat in the backseat, which revealed that Jamie was a parent. Learning that the child is a boy named after him made Beth even more angry. She threatened to take Jamie’s son from him like he took her ability to have children. The threat didn’t seem to be against the baby’s life, but rather that she would take his son and kill Jamie. The attorney has had bigger issues to tackle this season thus far, like trying to renew the airport lease his father canceled, launch a campaign to be elected governor in the special election prompted by John’s death, and of course deal with the fallout of Sarah being killed by the hitmen agency she hired to take out John (an investigation in which he’s now a primary suspect). But still, where is his son? Viewers have heard nary a peep about the kid in Part 2. Will Episode 13 bring him back into the plot, along with his mother, Christine ( Katherine Cunningham )? Perhaps part of Beth’s revenge on Jamie over his involvement in John’s death will entail finding the boy. That would be one way to get Jamie back under her thumb. Beth has long threatened that Rip would kill Jamie once he finds out that he had Beth forcibly sterilized as a teen. As much as Rip coming in to kill an enemy has made for some of the show’s more memorable moments (like the snake in the cooler), it does feel a little too obvious at this point to just have Rip involved in Jamie’s potential demise. It would be more intriguing and cathartic to see Beth do it herself or with Rip’s help — she’s certainly more emboldened to take the reins since she’s been convinced that Jamie planned their father’s murder (he didn’t, but it was his idea and she’ll never believe he isn’t responsible). Beth is one of the few members of her family who hasn’t committed murder on Yellowstone . And in fact, she’s one of the only ones who is appalled by the tradition of taking enemies “to the train station” (she was kept in the dark about this until the Season 5 Part 1 finale). Beth would save her first kill for Jamie. But at this point, given the excessive deaths we’ve seen this season, we could also see the series going for the tragic shock value of flipping the switch on Beth and having her killed by Jamie in the end. That does seem less likely, as Yellowstone almost always only kills its villains. And Jamie has long been painted as a villain, but one with the potential to be redeemed. There’s hardly any time left for a redemption arc, though. Paramount Network We’d be OK with Jamie and Beth both ending the series alive, but only if Jamie is in prison. He’s been on such a downward spiral and rejecting every opportunity to do the right thing for so long, becoming the fall guy for his dad’s homicide would be a twisted poetic justice. With Sarah dead too, he and the hitmen are the only people who could be held legally accountable for the murder. While Kayce has physically threatened Jamie in recent episodes, he’s clearly struggling with conflicting feelings of love for his big brother. What if the season ends with Kayce stopping Beth from killing Jamie, but helping her put him in prison for life to avenge John? Paramount Network In this context, that wouldn’t be a good thing. We’ve seen Kayce slowly descend into a darker mental state in the episodes since John’s murder. Every revelation about the death makes Kayce more and more lethal. In Episode 12, he held a child at gunpoint to threaten Grant Horton ( Matt Gerald ), the man who runs the agency that carried out the hit on John. Costner’s character could justify just about anything to defend his family’s legacy and ownership of the ranch; he spent decades killing foes in secret to help on this front. The lengths to which John would go to protect the ranch used to make Kayce and Monica ( Kelsey Asbille ) rebel against the family; it was only in recent years that this relationship was mended and Kayce and Monica felt comfortable associating themselves with them again. That comfort has transformed into full-blown support, and Kayce’s in a dark mindset as he attempts to avenge his father. How does the veteran come back from holding a child at gunpoint? Is he becoming the violent man who can defend any detestable action that he once feared? And moreover, how will Monica react if/when she finds out that Kayce threatened to kill a kid? We can’t imagine that she would be OK with that, but she’s also shown great concern for Kayce’s mental well-being in Season 5 Part 2. She may take the threat against that child and her father as a sign for her to step in and bring Kayce back from the edge. How to Watch New Episodes of 'Yellowstone' on Streaming Beth and Rip were selling off the horses and cattle in Episode 12 in an attempt to raise the money needed to keep the ranch’s land instead of selling off a piece of it. Beth revealed in talks with Thomas Rainwater ( Gil Birmingham ) that she has resigned herself to losing at least some of the family’s acreage that they’ve owned for a century. While the plan to undo John’s actions as governor that protected the land and canceled Market Equities’ airport lease doesn’t seem likely to succeed — especially not with Senator Lynelle Perry ( Wendy Moniz ) and Clara ( Lilli Kay ) determined to thwart Jamie’s efforts — the walls still are closing in on the Duttons. The show has said that selling some of the land is inevitable, but hopefully whatever they end up selling (if they sell) is given to Rainwater and the reservation or perhaps made into a national park. Speaking of Rainwater, why does he have so little to do this season? He seems primed to compromise with the Duttons after an entire series of fighting to get the land that once belonged to his people back. That leads us to our next and final question... In 1883 , Spotted Eagle ( Graham Greene ) told James Dutton ( Tim McGraw ) that his people would rise up and regain control of the Yellowstone ranch’s land in seven generations. Earlier on Yellowstone , Kayce said he saw “the end of us” in a vision and, in Season 5 Part 2, added that that “end” will be a choice. Kayce told Tate ( Brecken Merrill ) that if it’s his dream to run the ranch one day, he would make the ranch his life to preserve it for his son. But Tate more so envisions living a simpler life on the family’s land while someone else runs it, although he still wants to keep the land in the family. Every Yellowstone spinoff has questioned if the Duttons can maintain control of the ranch’s land. If Spotted Eagle’s prophecy wasn’t meant to be a true foreshadowing for the Dutton’s fate and Yellowstone ‘s ending, then it would just be a pointless throwaway line. The 1883 prophecy and Kayce’s vision would easily combine by having Tate inherit the ranch. Kayce knows that his son doesn’t fully desire running the family business himself, and perhaps knowing that but having him inherit the ranch anyway is the choice the vision foresaw. Our ideal Yellowstone ending is the indigenous people getting their land back. Perhaps Tate will inherit it and then give it to his community on the reservation while still living on the grounds, bringing everything full circle. This would open things up to keep the current ranchers employed for a while longer as well (their fates are also still up in the air as control of the ranch hangs in the balance).

The tax exemptions provided by the state to households and businesses have reached 18.8 billion euros, an amount corresponding to 28.2% of total tax revenue. Without tax exemptions, tax revenues would have reached €85.5 billion, enabling governments to pursue social policy with targeted actions and permanent measures. According to the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, the value of tax exemptions grew by €3.26 billion last year. The increase in the amount from €12.8 billion in 2021 to €15.5 billion in 2022 is mainly due to the adjustment of the property rates used for taxable purposes (known as “objective values”) and the increase in the tax-free threshold for donations and parental benefits to €800,000. In 2023, tax exemptions numbered 1,106, up from 1,064 in 2022.MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he was caught off guard by reports early Tuesday that linebacker Shaq Barrett wants to unretire. The two-time Super Bowl winner signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in March, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media in July, just days before the start of Miami's training camp. “Just to be candid, obviously there's a reason why you target and sign somebody," McDaniel said Tuesday afternoon. “I was fully caught off guard, or caught by surprise this morning as I found out.” McDaniel indicated the Dolphins have not had any conversations with Barrett recently. Miami holds the 32-year-old’s contractual rights. ESPN first reported the news. “It was kind of news as you guys got it,” McDaniel said. He also said he hasn't had a chance to think about Barrett potentially rejoining the team, and that his immediate focus is on Miami's Thursday night game at Green Bay. “The team is counting on me to think about the Packers,” he said. "I'll get with (GM) Chris (Grier), and we'll work through that. There's a ton of implications that go along with it in terms of team and roster stuff, so we'll work through that as we just got the news today.” Barrett has 400 tackles, 59 sacks, 22 forced fumbles and three interceptions in nine seasons — four with Denver and five with Tampa Bay. He was a second-team All-Pro with the Buccaneers in 2019, with a league-high 19 1/2 sacks. The Dolphins waived veteran safety Marcus Maye on Tuesday and activated rookie safety Patrick McMorris from injured reserve. Maye, who signed with the Dolphins in June, played in 11 games with three starts for Miami this season. He had 30 tackles and a tackle for loss. He could re-sign to the team's practice squad if he clears waivers. Maye previously played for New Orleans, but was cut in a money-saving move in March after two seasons with the Saints. Maye's release made room on the roster for McMorris, who was drafted in the sixth round by Miami in April. He began the season on injured reserve because of a calf injury.

It’s the holiday season, and locals may be looking for gifts that highlight what makes Las Vegas unique. Small business owners in the area have their own insight. Here are five Nevada entrepreneurs and makers — and their suggestions on what makes a good, locally made gift. Vegas-specific wearable art from Battle Born Pins Iconic Las Vegas signs may have been most famous when they were dozens of feet tall, but one locally born artist keeps the vintage icons alive through very, very small versions. Holly Vaughn runs Battle Born Pins with a mission to commemorate the mid-century modern designs and style that once loomed over Las Vegas streets. “So many things in Vegas are very fleeting, very ephemeral,” she said. “I wanted to have something that I knew I could keep, that would last forever.” It turns out others did, too. Since then, Vaughn has developed more than 100 designs of different signs, landmarks or iconography related to Las Vegas and Nevada. She said many people connect to the small items for what they represent of businesses that have long since been demolished or otherwise changed. “People tell me the most amazing stories,” she said. “They’ll message me on Instagram or email me and just thank me profusely — ‘Thank you for making this pin of the Stardust. My grandpa worked there, and we have nothing to remember that time by.’ That’s my favorite part, hearing great stories from the people who really built this city and make it what it is.” Vaughn’s pins are primarily sold online at LasVegasPins.com but can also be found in retailers around the Vegas valley. Her largest collection is sold at the Antique Alley Mall in the Arts District. Vaughn said she has a special gift package targeted for couples married in Vegas: a $32 “elopement box” with pins, a notepad, key chain and stickers. For other Vegas lovers, gift-givers can pick from several iconic signs — Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Vegas Vic and Vickie to name a few — or purchase one that’s dear to their loved one. Pins range from $10 to $12. T-shirts and trinkets at Tofu Tees Plenty of customers at Tofu Tees don’t believe 16-year-old Kumei Norwood when she tells them it’s her business. “Some people will be like, ‘Oh, do your parents own this and you’re working for them?’ No, it’s all my designs and everything,” Norwood said. “It’s a lot of different reactions — in person it’s a lot of positive reactions. Online it’s a little mixed.” Not only is she running the show — she’s been doing it for eight years. Norwood’s apparel business started with a T-shirt screen printed with an old note of hers, complete with the kid-like scrawl: “Why Are Peepl So Sensitiv?” Her designs focus on social issues, like T-shirts and stickers that declare “racism is trash” and “social issues are not trends.” Norwood said she also uses the store as a way to give back to the community. For instance, a donation box set outside the store will accept gifts to be distributed at The Solidarity Fridge, a mutual aid group in east Las Vegas, on Christmas Eve. Norwood’s business moved into Fergusons Downtown in 2021. A Las Vegas Academy student during part of the business’s open hours, Norwood’s mother runs the shop while she’s in school. Or, other entrepreneurs will host pop-up business hours, selling their products alongside Norwood’s. “I’ve always been surrounded by entrepreneurs ever since I was little,” she said. “We lived out in L.A. when I was 4 or 5-ish, and my mom always made jewelry for photoshoots and sets and stuff, so I was always surrounded by people who are making stuff. That really influenced me from a young age.” Norwood recommends that shoppers look for several small items to make up a larger gift. Tofu Tees is selling three different gift boxes made up of trinkets and other items: the “self-love” box for $18, the “Sensitiv” box for $20 and the “reproductive rights” box for $25. More than a six-pack at Mojave Brewing It’s easy to get a beer lover a six-pack and put it under the tree. But a growler and a gift certificate to their favorite brewery is a great way to get more out of a thoughtful present, according to advice from the owner of Henderson’s Mojave Brewing. John “Griff” Griffith said his business on Water Street is also brewing “Holiday Havoc,” a 5 percent alcohol by volume pastry stout, and the Wu Tang Clan-inspired “Ain’t Nothing To F—- With” imperial stout (with at 17 percent A.B.V. to match the name), both of which could pique the interest of hopheads. A growler costs $10 and the pour to fill it is $20, Griffith said. He also suggested gift cards — or gift poker chips at Mojave — as an alternative to gifting a six-pack. “They’re going on a little afternoon vacation or adventure, if you will, to find where that beer was made and what the place is like,” he said. “And there are so many cool, great breweries in the Las Vegas and Henderson areas.” The teacher-turned-brewer opened the tasting room in Water Street’s old Bank of America building in February 2020 and weeks later, pandemic shutdowns rattled his business. He attributed continued success to city leaders encouraging him to stay open to serve to-go beer and community members who turned the business’ parking lot into a social distanced “tailgate party” by enjoying their drinks in lawn chairs with friends. “People would come to the wall and yell at us what they wanted, and we’d fill a can or we’d fill a growler,” Griffith said. “The locals basically kept us open from that point forward.” A ‘blind date’ with Buttercup Books Bibliophile Kate Stowell has long participated in “blind date with a book” exchanges in her book club, and her new pop-up business takes the viral idea to one-day markets in Las Vegas. Stowell’s Buttercup Books sells pre-wrapped books – no title or author shown — with clues on the story and additional book-related items. She sells the books at Market in the Alley in the Arts District. “It takes some of that decision-making out of it,” she said. “It’s also kind of fun when you get a lot of goodies wrapped in with your book.” Stowell’s business name is inspired by her late daughter, Frances Buttercup. Nearly two years ago, Stowell went into pre-term labor and her daughter lived 12 days. Stowell said launching her book-reselling business has been a way to her to “put a piece of her out there.” A portion of sales is donated to March of Dimes, a nonprofit focused on ending preventable maternal health risks and death and preterm birth. Hardcover books are $25 and paperbacks are $20. Most are fiction, and Stowell collects books to wrap and sell through online sources and offering discounts on future purchases for customers who donate a book. Additional tchotchkes sold with the books could include highlighters, annotation tabs, bookmarks, dried flowers, teabags and other items. For gift-givers who want more control in their present, Stowell recommended giving bookworms personalized reading accessories like a reading log or monogrammed bookmark. Or, give a book by a beloved author and introduce the recipient to something you love. If in doubt, the mystery book gift can also be a bonding experience, she said. “There’s a lot of freedom in the idea that, ‘I didn’t really pick this book either,’” Stowell said with a laugh. Eclectic styles at Akin Cooperative Jen Taler started Market in the Alley in 2017 while developing the Fergusons Downtown space . She said it started with less than 20 vendors and about 200 shoppers and has since grown to as many as 900 vendors in the database and crowds as large as 4,000. The markets are now held in four locations on select weekend dates: UnCommons in southwest Las Vegas, The Village at Centennial Springs, the Arts District and The Green at Green Valley Ranch. Additionally, her retail shop Akin Cooperative in the Arts District is like a stationary Market in the Alley, where some makers also sell their wares. A self-described “maker of spaces” and a former Zappos buyer, Taler said her desire to create unique retail experiences comes from previous work experience in boutiques, working overseas in Australia and her family background. “I think that collaborative and people-person (focus), being in a diverse family unit spilled over to who I am in my day-to-day,” she said. Holiday shopping at Akin Cooperative or a Market in the Alley could give customers a wide selection of gift options, including some traditional ideas like handmade candles, jewelry and home goods. One unique option at the shop on Commerce Street is the KGB personal fire pit for $55. “You can have this beautiful flame if you want to keep warm,” Taler said. “But I have a 4-and-a-half-year-old, so we were making s’mores last night off of it.” Taler said her years in retail have given her the guiding questions for gift-giving. First and foremost, consider that person’s style and interests. “My curation is very eclectic in the style of stuff, and our city is very eclectic on what we make,” she said. “I think we can hit a lot of different styles with what’s in the store.”Judge rejects request to sideline SJSU volleyball playerShoppers at a U.S. Walmart were left stunned after a young child went on a rampage and started throwing various merchandise to the floor. They were even more shocked when none of the store's employees attempted to stop the child. In a clip uploaded to the social media platform X, a young black girl dressed in pink can be seen casually strolling through the dairy and poultry aisle while casually throwing various items to the ground. No parent or guardia n ever shows up to deal with the misbehaving child throughout the entire 2-minute clip. Despite the large crowd, Walmart employees seem reluctant to step in and restrain the child. During one portion of the video, two white women try to intervene by gently grabbing the child in order to prevent more destroyed merchandise only to be scolded by another woman for touching the child. Woman 'assaults police officer' at Walmart after 'stealing cookies and panties' Shameless Walmart shopper records her shoplifting attempt at self-checkout only to be caught by AI The woman advises them to let her go and “not put hands on another person’s child.” This comment sets off a heated debate as to what to do with the unruly child. The growing group of spectators seems divided on what to do with the girl despite asking repeatedly where the girl’s parents are. While the two groups bicker, the girl continues to destroy food displays. At one point, one fed-up employee suggests calling for help. “Don’t yet at her. Don’t film her. Don’t stop her. You don’t know what she’s going through. Don’t y’all do that to a little girl!” one woman off-camera screeches before approaching the child and telling her to breathe. The video comes to as close as the child starts hurling bottles of a red fizzy drink to the ground. In the last two seconds of the video, the girl is seen being held over a man's shoulder however it's unclear if that is the girl's father. As of Monday, the video had received 3.1 million views. Several users online were livid over the interaction. "This video encapsulates the West," seethed one user. "Hostile barbarian tears down civilization and woke white women stop other people from doing anything about it." "A white liberal woman stopping a black man from stepping up and being a father, classic," a second person said. "This video speaks volumes." "If you feel angst watching this, then imagine being a teacher and having 10 of these kids in your room, littered amongst others who actually want to learn," a third person slammed. "You've got shit behavior and a laundry list of things you're accountable for. Admin asks 'How can you inspire her to learn?'" One person even speculated that the whole stunt may have been an attempt to go viral. "Where’s her mother? She has expensive braids & nice outfit. About 10 yrs old. Was she set up to do this for it to go viral which is all some people care about? It’s all so ridiculous," one person speculated. It's currently unclear where the shocking incident took place.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said Thursday that he is "absolutely" confident that Ryan Day will be back as football coach in 2025. Calls to fire the sixth-year coach rose among Ohio State fans after the Buckeyes lost to Michigan for the fourth straight year. Bjork, in an interview on 97.1 The Fan, said Day is the man for the job, regardless of how the Buckeyes perform in the College Football Playoff. They host Tennessee in a first-round game Dec. 21. "Coach Day is awesome," said Bjork, who came from Texas A&M to replace the retiring Gene Smith last summer. "He's great to work with. He totally gets it. He loves being a Buckeye. So, we're going to support him at the highest level." The 13-10 loss to Michigan followed by an ugly melee between the teams put the coach in a precarious spot. He and his team were booed off the field by the home fans. Bjork ended up releasing a statement expressing his support for the coach. "The reason we had to say something after (the Michigan) game is, we're still breathing, we're still alive," Bjork said. "The season's not over. The book is not closed." Thanks to the playoff, Day has a chance to redeem himself with Ohio State's huge fanbase with a win against the Volunteers — and perhaps more in the 12-team tournament. Regardless of what happens, Day will be back next year, according to Bjork. "Coach Day and I just hit it off so well," Bjork said. "I've been really, really impressed. Every single time I talked to him, I learn something. He's innovative. He recruits at the highest level. He's got a great staff." Day wouldn't directly address his job status last weekend. "When you first come off those types of things, there's a lot of emotion," he said, referring to the Michigan loss. "And then as time goes on, you've got to get refocused because you know what you've done in the past does not affect what's going on moving forward. Everything is out in front of us." Failing to consistently beat Michigan is one of the few flaws in Day's coaching record. Hired as a member of coach Urban Meyer's staff in 2017, Day was the hand-picked successor when Meyer retired after the 2018 season. Compiling an overall 66-10 record, he is widely admired in the coaching community. "Great respect for what he's done in his coaching career, what he's done there at Ohio State and the success that they've had year-in and year-out," Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. Day is in trouble now because losing The Game is considered an unforgiveable sin by Buckeyes fans. "What we have to do is this whole 'championship or bust' mentality, you want that as the goal, but it has to be about the process," Bjork said. "To me, we've got to maybe change some conversations a little bit. I think we need to maybe just approach things a little bit differently."
