Eleven Dubcast: Ohio State Men's Basketball Get Their First Big Ten Win, But Are They Improving?

I'm a simple man with simple desires. All I need is a kickass, all-world college football program screaming through the Mojave Desert on a souped-up Harley with a fun and scrappy basketball program riding sidecar. That's it! Thad Matta doesn't need to win every game, just ones that make the program dangerous.

This week the Dubcast talks about what he can do to get back to that point, but more importantly, what we want the basketball team to look like in the future. The consensus Beau and I seem to reach is "scrappy Ohio dudes with like one amazing dude on the team," and dammit, if that means a Sweet Sixteen berth every few years and not much else, I'm cool with that. Also, Ask Us Anything is back! Hooray! Keep Asking Us Anything (and seriously, the weirder the better. I'm an expert on the 1850s, Constitutional law, and seasons 1-9 of the Simpsons) via either e-mail or Twitter.

Finally, we'd really love it if you'd give us a rate and review on iTunes. It helps us know what you like, and get the word out to others! Here's how the Dubcast broke down this week:

0:00- Thad, Destroyer of Worlds, Breaker of Spartans, Conqueror of... uh, East Lansing. Although it was a home game. Still.

18:55- What does the future look like for the basketball program? Good? Bad? Ugly?

28:43- HERE COMES SIGNING DAY! Urban is like 10 over. Maybe six. But closer to 10.

36:58- Ask Us Anything returns with a vengeance to live free and ask harder.

And that is it! Thanks as always to Travis for the logo, our Dry Goods store for helping to prop this whole operation up (and if you'd like to add your name or the name of your business to the Dubcast, contact me here), and to you: thanks for listening. See you next week!
