No. 3 Texas A&M football shocked the Southeastern Conference and the 12th Man on Nov. 15 when it overcame a 27-point deficit to complete the largest comeback in school history against South Carolina. Sitting atop the AP Top 25 at third in the country for five consecutive weeks and ranking the same in the College Football Playoff committee’s watchful eye, the Aggies are riding high on their undefeated record toward the end of their schedule and into a possible spot in the SEC Championship Game and the playoffs. But what follows that Hallmark-movie ending against the Gamecocks is a date with the 1-10 Samford Bulldogs out of the FCS’ Southern Conference this Saturday, Nov. 22. “We talk a lot about playing to our standard regardless of opponent,” coach Mike Elko said in Monday’s press conference. “It’s not something we’ve been good enough at. So this is an opportunity for us to take a maturity step and go out there and play the game at the level that we’re capable of playing it, regardless of who we’re playing.” A lot of analysis can be done over the late-game scares A&M has inflicted on the Aggie faithful this season namely against Notre Dame, Arkansas and South Carolina but none of those can drown the lofty expectations of success that fans have for the Maroon and White against the Bulldogs. Nearly all projections point toward a lopsided score in the Aggies’ favor. But the game holds more importance than just moving onto an 11-0 record and a rivalry weekend against No. 17 Texas; it represents possibly the last time the seniors on the roster will compete at Kyle Field if A&M doesn’t host a first-round playoff game. “There’s going to be a lot of kids walking across that field for the last time, and that’s a memory that they’ll take with them forever,” Elko said. “ . It’s an opportunity for them to end their senior season undefeated at home, and that hasn’t happened around here in a long time.” One of the many players departing Aggieland after this season, multi-talented graduate student offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III has left an astounding impact on the program during his tenure donning maroon and white. “He’s what you want an Aggie to be,” Elko said. “For him to come back again, be a captain again, for him to be as consistent as he is, as tough as he is. He plays through pain, he plays through injury. He’ll play through anything. This place means an awful lot to him.” No matter the opponent, Elko has preached making plays in critical moments throughout the season. “The thing that makes seasons successful is your ability to make those plays in those moments to win football games,” Elko said. “And I think that’s what this team is doing.” The SEC leader in sacks who ranks second in the country at 11. 5 redshirt senior defensive end Cashius Howell showed off his ability to be that playmaker during A&M’s second-half comeback against South Carolina. On the Gamecocks’ last third-down effort, he sacked redshirt sophomore quarterback LaNorris Sellers and then secured the tackle on the next play, forcing a turnover on downs. “That play he made at the end of the game to win that football game,” Elko said. “That is an elite-level play. That’s just unbelievable awareness, unbelievable feel to close space and close the gap on the quarterback before he could get going and then an unbelievable feel to not yank the horse collar as he was kind of getting his hand around it.” Facing one of the most dominant defenses in the country, which ranks No. 1 in third-down conversion percentage and total sacks, the Bulldogs have their bowls full this weekend under the high-pressure atmosphere in the confines of an SEC stadium. But defense isn’t the only thing to strike fear into the Dogs’ hearts, as the Aggies’ offense ranks sixth in passing yards per completion with 14. 93 and is tied for 14th in points per game at 37. 1. This 1-7-in-SoCon-play Samford squad is staring down the barrel of its season in its last matchup in a classic david-and-goliath situation at Kyle Field bright and early at 11 a. m. on SEC Network+.

Bulls’ Coach Billy Donovan Makes Huge Coby White Announcement
The Chicago Bulls ended their losing streak in a thrilling win over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. That was coming off a double-overtime loss on the road against the Utah Jazz the night before. The loss to the Jazz saw Coby White make his season debut for Chicago. With Coby White making his season debut against the Jazz, it only made sense for him to sit out on Monday during the second night of a back-to-back. The former first-round pick was on a minutes restriction during Sunday’s game, and he exceeded his allotted time on the court in the 2-OT loss. The Bulls will play their final game of a short three-game road trip on Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers, and White will be active. The better news is that head coach Billy Donovan announced White’s restriction has been upped to 26-28 minutes, per K. C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. Coby White Made His Presence Known in Season Debut White was not supposed to play 30 minutes in his season debut. However, the flow of the game called for him to exceed that a little bit. However, Donovan felt comfortable having him on the court, despite the fact that he missed the first 11 games with a calf injury. Still, White was able to score 27 points, grab 14 rebounds, and dish out eight assists. 14 of White’s 27 points came from the free throw line, which means the injury did not slow down his aggressiveness. The 25-year-old shot 5-for-14 from the field and 3-for-8 from three-point range. There was definitely some rust in terms of getting the right shot and knocking them down. It was also evident that White’s legs were getting tired as the game continued past the fourth quarter. Still, the stat line he produced should have been enough to help Chicago leave with the win. Heading into Wednesday, the Bulls are hoping White can have a similar game. If the game does not go into overtime, White should not play more than 28 minutes. It is a long season, and calf injuries are running rampant in the NBA right now. Chicago should be as cautious as they can be with White as he ramps back up to being a starter. Bulls Have a Chance to Win Five of Next Six Games Beating the Nuggets was a big confidence booster for the Bulls. They were on a five-game losing streak, and the season, although early, seemed to be slipping away from them. However, the win has proven Chicago still has it in the tank to string together some wins. Looking ahead at the schedule for the rest of November, the Bulls have a chance to string together plenty of wins. Of their six games remaining, five are against teams below . 500, including Wednesday night’s game in Portland. Additionally, the final four games of the month are against the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Pelicans, Indiana Pacers, and Washington Wizards. These four teams have a combined record of 6-49 on the season. If the Bulls can finish the month 4-2 or 5-1, it would put them in a great position headed into December.

Ubisoft will announce its H1 2025-26 earnings results on Friday
The Ubisoft company will officially announce earnings results for the first half of its 2025-26 fiscal year on Friday, November 21. This follows a delay of their release, as well as a halt of trading last week. With the scheduling of this release, many eyes will be on Ubisoft in expectation of a possible major announcement this coming weekend. Ubisoft announced the new schedule for its H1 2025-26 earnings results in a press release from its investor relations website. According to the company, it will announce its earnings figures “no later than before the opening of trading on Friday, 21st November 2025.” Ubisoft alarmed many when it suddenly halted trading on shares and bonds in France in addition to delaying the release of its H1 2025-26 earnings results. Considering Ubisoft share trade is still currently halted, Ubisoft share trading will also resume on Friday, November 21, 2025. However, these sudden halts and delays left many curious as to what is about to happen with Ubisoft from a business standpoint. The company had some success with Assassin’s Creed Shadows earlier this year, but Ubisoft has done little to light up the gaming scene outside of that with several underwhelming launches and high-profile projects either delayed or canceled.

Saugus Speedway scoreboard circles back to Santa Clarita History Center
The Saugus Speedway scoreboard is making its way back home to the Santa Clarita History Center at Hart Park after the Valley Relics Museum in Van Nuys acquired it in 2017. The famed Saugus Speedway had its last race on the track in 1995. Leon Worden, a local historian and site manager of the History Center, which is operated by the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society, said the History Center began collecting artifacts of the speedway over the summer. The former speedway site is being replaced by a new mixed-use development. “We recovered all of the big, heavy artifacts that were left at the Saugus Speedway, including the main entry sign and the signage around the track, including one of the 90-foot-long sign sections that said Saugus Speedway, and many other things,” Worden said. Worden said that the speedway meant a lot to people in the SCV and San Fernando Valley during its prime. “It’s a connection for a lot of people; it’s a connection to their youth. And I think that is, I think, well . it’s meaningful on a personal level to a lot of people,” Worden said. “This year, the Saugus Speedway is the No. 1 thing that our visitors talk about and ask about.” When asked what it feels like for the History Center to get the scoreboard back, Worden said it was “icing on the cake.” “The Saugus scoreboard is 24 feet long and 9 feet high. And just so you know, we’re looking at receiving it. We received donations from the community to cover Valley Relics’ own expenses. But we’re looking at doing this over the course of the next few months,” Worden said about when the nonprofit organization will have the scoreboard. Jim Insolo, a former race car driver who raced on the speedway, recalled one of his first memories of being at the track. “I kind of was working on a guy’s car before I ever raced. And I asked him if I could drive his car in one of the heat races, hoping that he would say no after I’d asked him,” Insolo said. “And he says, ‘Go ahead,’ so then I kind of had my foot in my mouth, and I had to go ahead and do it then and I decided that’s what I wanted to do.” Insolo said the experience made him want to pursue it as a career. “The thrill of the whole thing, you know what I mean? And out there with all those other cars and trying to be the best and win the race if you could. And it was just, there was just so many things about it, the highs and the lows of it all,” Insolo said. Insolo said it was very cool for the History Center to preserve the artifacts, so it keeps the speedway’s memory alive. “It’s a neat deal they’re doing that, so the younger people that didn’t really ever know it as a racetrack, you know, for being able to see what it was all about,” Insolo said. “They had those kind of whatever they’re going to build over there now, and you would never know it was a racetrack when you drive by there now. And it’s to keep that history alive of that racetrack.”.

Bitwise XRP ETF Set To Launch Tomorrow, Bloomberg Analyst
Bitwise is set to launch its XRP ETF tomorrow, according to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart. His update follows new signals pointing to coordinated movement across multiple issuers, with Grayscale and Franklin Templeton also preparing for possible November 24 releases. The developments place XRP at the center of a rapid expansion in regulated crypto investment products. Bitwise XRP ETF Goes Live on Bloomberg Terminal Seyffart confirmed that the XRP ETF from Bitwise can now be found on the Bloomberg terminal. The fund is referenced with the Elite ticker XRP on the description page. He added that terminal listings usually get turned on shortly before an ETF comes to market. This development suggests that Bitwise is in the last stages before its launch. The Bitwise listing includes key identifiers needed for integration across trading desks and institutional systems. Such details usually appear shortly before a product becomes accessible. Seyffart said the timing supports expectations that the ETF will debut tomorrow. It makes since considering Grayscale is working on their own XRP ETF preparations. Grayscale has amended its XRP Trust filings to facilitate switching it to a spot ETF. The trust currently provides accredited investors with exposure through a reference-rate-based model. New amendments also reveal the adoption of a changed reference rate provider that impacts value calculations in the product. Grayscale and Franklin Templeton Eyes Nov. 24 Grayscale announced its plan to change the product name and pursue an anticipated listing for Grayscale XRP Trust. The platform signaled that its XRP Trust ETF (GXRP) is close to launch on Novmeber 18. In a recent X post, Seyffart revelaed that Grayscale’s XRP ETF will be launched on November 24. He also mentioned the company’s upcoming Dogecoin ETF that it wants to debut on the same day. His update suggests a coordinated rollout time frame among the various issuers. There is also sign that Franklin Templeton is also preparing for an XRP ETF launch. Seyffart mentioned its XRP ETF could go live on November 24, as well. Recent filings indicate continuing procedural developments. the an earlier thought for a date. Analyst Zack Rector set out the next steps for XRP ETF issuers and explained who has initiated the SEC’s 20-day automatic countdown. The clock starts when issuers amend their S-1 filings to remove the delay clause. According to the analyst, Spot ETFs don’t require the explicit approval of the SEC once that clause is removed. The 20-day period advances by itself and the product can be launched once it arrives at the end of the timeline. He also threw out the Nov. 18 date for Franklin Templeton, saying no filing supports it. These actions reflect those taken by Canary Capital during the U. S. government shutdown. The firm released its Litecoin, XRP, Bitwise and Grayscale Solana products through the same automatic-effectiveness process. Bitwise looks set to debut tomorrow, and it’s not alone in the league of close issuers. XRP becoming one of the most active times in a new regulated ETF market.
