And now it ends.

So, one of the biggest things to watch for in the Cotton Bowl is probably one of the narratives that will be discussed the least; while everyone is talking about J.T.'s ride off into the sunset, there's a lot of important action in deciding just what the hell the Ohio State football team is going to look like next year, particularly on offense. How carries are split between the running backs, who gets the best looks at receiver, and who can step up for crucial third downs are all questions that might get a few answers tomorrow.

But: this is the J.T. show. You know it, I know it, Beau knows it, so that's why we brought on our own Dan Hope to give us the view from Dallas and his take on what the Ohio State gameplan will look like. Plus, Ask Us Anything (which you can do via Twitter or e-mail), and don't forget to rate and subscribe to us on iTunes!

Finally: give a shoutout to Beau for sticking it out and doing the Dubcast this week, he and his family are all in the grips of the flu, but he toughed it out for you, the listeners. And me, because the thought of doing this solo fills me with a creeping dread.

0:00 Cotton Bowl time! Beau isn't quite as pumped about this as I am, but in a less abstract sense, it's football, dammit! I love football, football is fun. Let's get it.

17:57 Dan Dan the Cotton Bowl Man tells us what he's seeing at practice in Dallas, and how he expects the game to unfold.

29:47 Beau and I go over our Three Things for the game, and answer the most critical Ask Us Anything question of our time: how do you rank essential breakfast foods?

That does it for this week! Thanks to you for listening and checking out our Dry Goods store, thanks to Travis for our logo, and we'll see you next week as we chortle about beating USC for the first time in a couple of generations.
