Enter Tim Shoemaker! Tim is here to help us break down the Michigan State game (and to participate in Ask Us Anything, which you can also do by hitting us up on Twitter or sending us an e-mail as dubcast@elevenwarriors.com). All this and Andy Rooney, on this week's Eleven Dubcast!
0:20- Illinois is a game that happened, let's try and talk about what we learned from it (not a whole hell of a lot!)
14:00- Tim! Hey it's Tim Shoemaker! Let's have him talk about Michigan State and then rope him into our ridiculousness!
35:05- Look, all I'm saying is that at least with Joe Bauserman as president, you'd get that lovable loser Gerald Ford thing going on.
And that's it! Don't forget to write in, don't forget to sign up for our RSS feed, and don't forget to follow us on iTunes if that's your bag. See you guys next week!
