ohio state buckeyes

Tonight on the Show, it's back, THE Game is back, between the # 2 Ohio B*ckeyes (10-1, 8-0) and the # 5 Michigan Wolverines (10-1, 7-1) in Ann Arbor. BOTH the FOX Big Noon Kickoff and ESPN's College GameDay will be LIVE from Ann Arbor on Saturday. Could an upset take place? Maybe, but don't hold your breath. Ohio is an eight point favorite, coming off a 56-7 destruction of then # 7 Little Brother, ending the K-9 for Heisman Campaign. BOTH of the teams they lost to this season got blown out on Saturday (Oregon, who beat Ohio in Columbus on September 11, lost 38-7 to Utah on November 20).

With last year being the first time since 1917 that the Game did NOT take place, this marks the first time since 1903 that The Game is being held in Ann Arbor back-to-back meetings. A B*ckeye win would tie Michigan's 1901-09 streak for the most consecutive wins in Series history.

The winner of this game will win the Big Ten East, and represent the East in the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis on December 4th.

Storylines for The Game:
- Harbaugh: "We're Playing for ALL the Marbles."
- Harbaugh: "The Playoffs have begun."
- McNamara: "This is why you come to Michigan."
- Can Ojabo & Hutchinson stop Stroud?
- Will Stroud put the pedal to the medal like he did with Michigan State, and last place Indiana, Maryland, & Rutgers?
- Can the Secondary stop the BIG THREE (Olave, Wilson, and Smith-Njigba)?
- Will Corum be able to play?
- Can Haskins shred the Silver Bullets (hey, it worked for Oregon, and helped Minnesota and Nebraska stay in the game against Ohio)?
- Can Michigan "Biakabutuka" the B*ckeyes?
- Will Day put up 100, like he promised in 2020?
- If Michigan gets blown out, does Harbaugh get fired?

Jump the Shark Week Concludes with a look at Jump the Shark moments in Pop Culture, Politics, Sports, and a dive into Columbus. We continue to use guidance from the 2002 book, "Jump the Shark: When Good Things Go Bad" by Jon Hein (the Jump the Shark Website jumped when Jon sold out to TV Guide in 2007).

Dukakis in the Tank. The B*ckeyes and Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. Michigan loses to Appalachian State. Art Modell moves the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore. LeBron announces he's leaving Cleveland on National TV. The Trump Administration. Those were all Jump the Shark Moments.

Here at Home, Franklinton is swallowed whole in the 1913 Flood. Hanford Village is cut in half by Interstate 70. Bexley gets a McDonald's. Les Wexner founds New Albany. Tattoogate even took down Terrelle Pryor and OSU Athletic Director Gene Smith. J.T. Barrett jumped with The Spot in the 2016 "The Game". The Columbus Crew jumped when we literally #SavedTheCrew. The Citizen-Journal and The Other Paper jumped when they got bought by the Columbus Dispatch, which would jump when the Wolfe Family left ownership.

Tonight on the show, the DJBC talks about a recent life saving experience. Also tonight, a recap of The Daytime Emmys (Round 1), and trying to get ready for the Primetime Emmy nominations.

Also, which local healthcare provider is requiring ALL employees to be vaccinated? Now that college athletes can be paid, what does that mean, and when will the Fab Five Final Four Banners be raised again?

That, and happenings around town.
