• Man seen walking through Oxford streets with knife charged with aggravated menacing (wlwt.com) — Police say a man carrying a large kitchen knife walked along University Avenue in Oxford near Miami University, allegedly threatening at least one person and alarming students Tuesday evening. Officers later took the 29-year-old to a Cincinnati-area hospital, and he now faces two aggravated menacing charges, with the Butler County prosecutor planning an additional inducing panic charge.
   

• Rivals Cincinnati and Miami (Ohio) looking to ring Victory Bell (statenews.net) — Miami University's football team is heading to Cincinnati on Saturday for the 129th Battle for the Victory Bell, this time at TQL Stadium instead of Nippert. The long-running rivalry's future is uncertain after both schools canceled upcoming trips, including Cincinnati's scheduled games at Yager Stadium in Oxford in 2027 and 2029, even as Miami looks to build on last week's big win.
