COLUMBUS, Ohio — 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.”

HOPKINS, Minn. — The City of Hopkins marked its 15th annual Small Business Saturday with the beloved Holiday in Hopkins event on Mainstreet.

Amy Brace, owner of Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe on Mainstreet, took charge of organizing this year’s winter festival. 

“I just wanted to really give back to them as like a thank you to and as a reminder to help support small businesses,” Brace said, embracing the chaos of event planning even in the cold.

Brace’s dedication to reviving the event stemmed from her desire to highlight Hopkins’ small business community after the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I really just wanted to bring back that special event and show people how much pride I have in Hopkins and the small businesses that we have here,” Brace explained.

The National Federation of Independent Business reports optimism among small business owners, with about 70% expecting revenue growth in the coming year.

Amy Saldanha of Kiddywampus toy shop noted record consumer spending post-COVID. 

Sandy Boren Barret of Stages Theatre Company also praised the community’s support. 

“We’re back,” she said. “As you can see, our lobby is full and people are back, supporting Stages,” Barret said.

Brace’s commitment to the event goes beyond business promotion. Having faced personal challenges, including a battle with breast cancer, she sees the festival as a way to give back to the community that supported her. 

“It’s just like a constant hug from everybody,” Brace said.
