I am shamed. We had a perfect opportunity to talk about the greatest sports trophy of them all, a wooden turtle that combines the words "Illinois" and "Buckeyes," and we blew it. No detailed analysis of the type of wood used, no giddy recountings of the various designs that we've enjoyed through the years, no tales of heartbreak from the 2007 game, no pointing out that from 1983 through 1994, Illinois had an 8-4 advantage over Ohio State in this, the most important rivalry game that the Buckeyes play.

But we make up for it, I GUESS, by talking about how awesome the Michigan State game was, and bringing on one of my all time favorite Ohio State players in A.J. Hawk. A.J. has a full plate as a human being, but he was kind enough to offer his insight and expertise in analyzing exactly what's gone wrong and what's gone right for the Buckeyes this season. As one of the most consistently excellent players that I've ever seen as an Ohio State fan, he brings that same excellence to the Dubcast.
