Tonight on the Show, The DJBC Happy Hour celebrates Thanksgiving by previewing The Game between # 2 Ohio and their daddy, # 3 Michigan Wolverines. The Game will take place at 12 Noon ET on FOX, with both ESPN College GameDay and the Big Noon Kickoff on FOX will be LIVE from Campus on Saturday morning before the game.

Keys to an Ohio Win (which better not happen):
Warm Weather
Open Receivers
Opportunistic Defense

Keys to a Michigan Win:
Blake Corum
Receivers need to CATCH the ball and make big plays
The Defense Boxes in Stroud
The Weather Needs to Be Chilly (with some snow)

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?

Plus, it's Thanksgiving Week!

Tonight on the show, this is our 10th Annual Thanksgiving Show, and our 360th Show.

- The Latest in COVID-19 in Columbus. Franklin County is under a Stay at Home Advisory, which means that it is recommended that you leave only for essential items. The State of Ohio is under a 21-Day Curfew between the hours of 10PM and 5AM. Community Leaders and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) discourage traveling for Thanksgiving, or celebrating Thanksgiving outside of where you currently live, in order to stop the spread of COVID-19.
- The Revenge Tour Round-Up: Joe Milton, we hardly knew ye. The Cade McNamERA has begun at Michigan, as the redshirt Sophomore Quarterback lifted Michigan from a 17-point hole to a triple-overtime win at lowly Rutgers (yeah, the same New Jersey school Harbaugh's teams have outscored 256-37 the last FIVE years).

Tonight on the DJBC Happy Hour:
- COVID-19 is getting worse. Ohio is on the road for yet another shutdown as cases are getting worse.
- The Sad State of the Wolverines: Fresh off their first loss to the Hoosiers in 33 years, the Wolverines have their WORST Home Loss in 85 years Under the Lights against a Wisconsin team that hadn't played for 22 days (due to a COVID outbreak with the Badgers)
- Can Indiana knock off Ohio in Columbus for the first time in 33 years this Saturday?
- The Holidays are here, socially distant.
- Jack and Susan return with a very special guest.
- How would the show have celebrated if Maryland had knocked off Ohio (Remember: The Ohio/Maryland Football Game was canceled due to a COVID-19 Outbreak with the Maryland Football Team.)

Tonight, it's "Beat Ohio Week" on The DJBC Happy Hour. But...will they? Or will it be a record eighth straight loss to "That School" (They call themselves the B*ckeyes).

Tonight on the show, the 115th Annual "The Game" takes place on Saturday November 24 at Ohio Stadium as the # 10 Ohio State B*ckeyes host the # 4 Michigan Wolverines, the second time in the last three years both schools are in the Top Ten in the annual rivalry. Also for the second time in three years, ESPN's College Game Day will broadcast LIVE from The Ohio State University on November 24 before the Noon game, which will air for the second straight year on FOX.

DJBC's Pick: Michigan 28, "You Know Who" 21
- Michigan is pissed off for many reasons. 1) They played poorly against Indiana...again. 2) The last time they were in Columbus, the referees gave OSU the crucial first down in overtime, when it was abundantly clear that J.T. Barrett was short on 4th and Inches. 3) The B*ckeyes have won 15 of the last 17 meetings, and Michigan hasn't won in Columbus since 2000.
- This is only the third time in the last 27 years that Michigan is favored in Columbus. They are 0-1-1, with the loss coming the last time they were favored, 2004 (a 37-21 win, when Tressel deliberately locked Michigan in their locker rooms), and the tie coming in 1992, in what then-OSU President Dr. E. Gordon Gee called, "One of the greatest B*ckeye victories ever". 1988 (or 1990) was the last time Michigan won in Columbus as the clear favorite.
- Ohio State's defense is bad...really bad. They let a 2-6 Nebraska team hang around for the whole game. They let Indiana and Minnesota hang around too long. They allowed TWO 75+ yard touchdowns against both Oregon State and Maryland (who were a combined 7-15, as of the airing of this show). They allowed a 93-yard score against TCU (whose own season fell apart during the third quarter of said game). They can't stop the run, and the loss of Nick Bosa to both a season-ending injury and next Spring's NFL Draft has hurt.
- Haskins is not a mobile quarterback like Shea Patterson (or Haskins' ancestors - Barrett, Miller, or even Cardale Jones).

Promo for # 276, "Go Blue Wave" of The DJBC Happy Hour. November 19 at 8PM (and if Ohio State wins in 2018, this promo will be repeated in 2019).
