The dust settled, the smoke cleared, and the Ohio State Buckeyes walked off the battlefield victorious. As they lit their victory cigars on the still-burning ruins of East Lansing, they laughed. It was a hearty laugh, for it was a hearty triumph. The streets were filled with the sounds of happy children playing. Food tasted better. Lovers kissed.
Yes, the Buckeyes accomplished a major goal by conquering Sparta, and Johnny and I are here to talk about it. We break down the game in all its glory and we talked about the potential trap game waiting Saturday in Minneapolis in the form of Jerry Kill's Gophers. They're all ranked up by the College Football Playoff Committee, you know (No. 25).
And we're joined by a very special guest this week, as former Ohio State and current Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley dropped in to talk about life in the NFL, his view of the Buckeyes, playing on the offensive line and much more. He dropped a fun Urban Meyer story on us, and talked about how he found out he had been discussed by Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.
And you know there would be no Dubcast without our Ask Us Anything segment. We took on the daunting task of assigning a former Ohio State player to the essential parts of a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, and many other equally puzzling queries from our home listeners. You can ask us your question by emailing us at dubcast@elevenwarriors.com.

Here's the way this week's show went down:
0:17- Me and Johnny reminisce about the win over Michigan State and look ahead at another tough road game at No. 25 Minnesota. And there's some Michigan talk.
18:30- Ask Us Anything! Former Buckeyes as entrees, side dishes and desserts only sounds weird because it is. Other questions are a little less out there.
37:56- Corey Linsley! The former Buckeye beast is a Green Bay Packer now, but he still follows Ohio State football closely and tells us a lot about J.T. Barrett and being an offensive lineman.
55:35- We put Johnny on Ohio State's offensive line. Let's see what happens!
