the djbc happy hour

Tonight on the show, as the 59th Annual Grammy Awards (hosted by James Corden on Sunday February 12 on CBS) are near, we are playing songs from past Album of the Year winners over a 50 year span, from artists like Outkast, Paul Simon, The Beatles (first Rock group to win this Award), Frank Sinatra (one of only TWO artists to win this award THREE times as a solo artist), Phil Collins, The Bee Gees, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Simon & Garfunkel, and (coincidentally nominated again for this award, and the perceived frontrunner) Adele.

Tonight on the show, a recap of the Inauguration Weekend, and of course the latest catchphrase "Alternative Facts". Plus, the B*ckeye Men's Basketball team did something that they hadn't in 40 years.

1968 was one of the most difficult, tumultous years in America's history. Both Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated. America was knee-deep involved in Vietnam. There was upheaval in Paris. Upheaval in Prague. Upheaval in Chicago. Riots in every major American city.

Tonight on the show, we've hit the century mark...again. This is Show # 200! 200 shows of "The DJBC Happy Hour" have aired since its debut on WCRS in 2011. And it's because of you, we've been going strong for the last 200 shows.

Tonight on the show, THE GAME (Round 113) as Michigan looks for their first win over the B*ckeyes since 2011, and their first win in Columbus since 2000, in the biggest game of this rivalry since # 1 vs. # 2 in 2006 (a 42-39 B*ckeyes win), with the B*ckeyes at # 2 and Michigan at # 3. What is standing in the way is (a) the questionable Michigan quarterback situation, which we'll be kept in suspense until Saturday morning and (b) Urban Meyer. The B*ckeyes have won 13 of the last 15 meetings (2001-15), after Michigan won 10 out of 13 during the John Cooper Era (1988-2000).

THE Game:
Noon (ET) on ABC
B*ckeyes are a Touchdown Favorite

ESPN College GameDay will be LIVE from The Ohio State:
7AM to 10AM - Outside of the RPAC (W. 17th Ave.)
10:30 to Kickoff - Southwest Corner of The Shoe (inside Ohio Stadium)

PREDICTION(s):
With Speight at QB: Michigan 28, B*ckeyes 27 (Michigan's special teams blocks a crucial PAT; Jourdan Lewis seals the win with a pick; Peppers gets a pick-six and a punt return for TDs; J.T. throws one-play, 70-plus yard strikes to both Dontre Wilson and Curtis Samuel, before getting shut down in 2nd half)
With O'Korn at QB: B*ckeyes 35, Michigan 17 ("Fire Harbaugh" chants start rumbling)
