NonePublished 5:30 pm Sunday, December 8, 2024 By Scooter Hobbs LSU won’t have to travel far for its bowl game and the Tigers will find a familiar face when they get to Houston. LSU was placed in the Kinder’s Texas Bowl for the New Year’s Eve game at NRG Stadium against Baylor. It will kick off at 2:30 p.m. on ESPN. The Bears (8-4) are coached by Dave Aranda, who was LSU’s defensive coordinator for the Tigers’ 2019 national championship team. He took the Baylor job shortly after LSU completed that season unbeaten. Aranda and Baylor won the Big 12 championship in 2021, but he was very much on the hot seat after going 3-9 last year and starting this season 2-4 before Baylor finished on a six-game winning streak. The Tigers, also 8-4, at one point were ranked No. 8 in the country, but fell down the bowl season’s pecking order with a three-game losing streak. They recovered, however, to win their final two games against Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. As always in the current climate, bowl opt-outs could play a factor in the game. LSU has had several non-starters announce they will enter the transfer portal, which opens Monday. Two others, left tackle Will Campbell and tight end Mason Taylor, have declared they’ll enter the NFL draft early. But neither has indicated whether they will play in the bowl game. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has not yet made a decision on the NFL, but said after the win over Oklahoma that he would play in the bowl game regardless. It will be LSU’s third trip to the Texas Bowl — with very different results thus far. Opt-outs were a major factor the last time LSU played in the Texas bowl following the 2021 season. The Tigers had an interim head coach in Brad Davis after the firing of Ed Orgeron and only 38 scholarship players available in a 42-20 loss to Kansas State. LSU used a converted backup wide receiver, Jontre Kirklin, at quarterback. LSU’s other Texas Bowl appearance was following the 2016 season when the Tigers won a very entertaining game, 56-27, over a Texas Tech team led by Patrick Mahomes. It was shortly after that game that LSU then under Les Miles, lost defensive coordinator Kevin Steele, which brought Aranda to Baton Rouge from Wisconsin. LSU leads the all-time series with Baylor 8-3, but two of the Tigers’ losses came in the only two bowl matchups between the schools. Baylor beat LSU 21-7 in the 1985 Liberty Bowl in Memphis and 14-7 in the 1963 Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston. Previous to the Liberty Bowl, the last meeting was a 31-10 LSU victory in Baton Rouge.Sonnet BioTherapeutics Announces $3.9 Million Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement Priced At-The-Market Under Nasdaq Rules

President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House is seen fuelling a dealmaking revival that could bolster investment banking income to $316 billion globally next year, a jump of about 5.7% on 2024, data seen by Reuters shows. M&A bankers are forecast to rake in about $27.6 billion in fees, according to previously unreported figures from analytics and insight provider Coalition Greenwich, in what could be their second-best year in at least two decades. Global investment banking income has only topped $300 billion five times in the last 20 years, the data shows, with earnings power in recent years stifled by the pandemic, inflation and global political unease. Trump’s pro-business leanings should help an already thriving U.S. economy, which could in turn encourage greater volumes of cross-border dealmaking and investment from European firms chasing growth, bankers said. “I know it’s that time of year where bankers love to be bullish, but we actually do think that the current climate – political clarity and macro stability – will help drive M&A,” Richard King, head of corporate banking, EMEA, at Bank of America BAC.N said. “There’s a lot of pent up demand that will likely come through in 2025,” he said, pointing to private equity as well as acquisitive trade buyers across a range of sectors including healthcare, tech and energy. Trump’s administration could be particularly conducive to M&A because he is seen as likely to wave more deals through that had been blocked under the previous administration over competition or U.S. strategic importance concerns, bankers said. While rainmakers are getting busier, bankers managing debt sales for companies and governments could also see a jump in activity, bringing in as much as $49 billion, a new record, according to Coalition. Revenue from the trading of securities — the biggest contributor to investment bank income — forecast at $220 billion for 2025 would be the highest since 2022. Credit and emerging markets macro-related products are likely to see the biggest jump on 2024 figures next year, with a 6% increase each while trading in interest rate-related products could shrink as much as 3.5%. “We have healthy corporate balance sheets but we have a rate environment that has increased cost of capital...so businesses cannot be lazy,” said Taylor Wright, co-head of global banking at Barclays BARC.L, predicting private equity firms will be active as both buyers and sellers of businesses. “Geopolitical risk, in our view, is the wild card. It’s hard to plan for that but absent that, we see a lot of factors that suggest that the next 12 to 24 months should be very good for investment banking.” With revenue on the increase, banker payouts look destined to follow suit, although bonuses will remain below bumper 2021 levels for now. New York-based pay consultancy Johnson Associates said last month it expected banker salaries to rise in almost every business unit, with the exception of real estate investing. Headhunters are also reporting new hiring mandates from some banks following Trump’s re-election, and a focus on adding staff in the first quarter, traditionally a time when most banks look to reduce headcount. Hiring has increased across securities trading and from junior through to senior positions, said Natalie Nicolaou, Senior Manager, Distribution & Front Office, at Robert Walters UK RWA.L, told Reuters.

Cycling Market Overview and Leading Players: Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, BMC Switzerland AG, Felt Bicycles, Trek Bicycle Corporation, Specialized Bicycle Components, Merida Industry, Shimano Inc., Raleigh BicyclesTORONTO - A First Nation police force in northern Ontario will become an essential service as it opts into provincial legislation governing police boards. Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler says the agreement signed by Nishnawbe Aski Police Service Board will allow the force to have the same standards as every other force across the province. Fiddler says the historic agreement will allow the force to hire double the number of officers who patrol 34 First Nations in northern Ontario, including some remote, fly-in First Nations. Board chair Frank McKay says the move will allow the creation of specialized units for the first time. He says the police service can now have a homicide squad or a K9 unit and will not have to rely on and wait for the Ontario Provincial Police to help out. Solicitor General Michael Kerzner says the province will provide $514 million over three years to allow the police force to staff up so officers do not have to work alone anymore without backup.
