As promised, Greg Snoden.

Eli Apple is 20 years old. In just two years, he's gone from a relative unknown, to an Ohio State starter, to a national champion, to a Fiesta Bowl Defensive MVP, to a top NFL prospect. That's a hell of an evolution for anyone, but to do it with millions of Buckeye fans watching your every move and holding typically insane expectations for you is something pretty remarkable.

This week, we're incredibly lucky to be able to bring on the Ohio State cornerback and spend a few minutes with him as he prepares for the NFL combine and draft. Michael and I ask him about the greatest Jim Tressel picture ever taken, the historic 2014 run to glory, his favorite Ohio State memories, and convince him to start up the Urban Meyer tattoo train just once more.

We also touch on the basketball team and their ups and downs, answer listener questions with Ask Us Anything (which you can do through Twitter or through email), and marvel at whatever cosmic forces are drawing Ohio State players toward the Super Bowl.

And all of that is great, but, you know... Eli Apple! Let's do this!


0:08- Thad Matta, making moves, Jim Harbaugh, teenage pariah, and we wax poetic about the general state of recruiting these days.

23:15- Ask Us Anything! I will never eat a reuben sandwich! They sound gross!

34:15- Eli Apple stops stops by and chats with us for a bit, surely a welcome reprieve from the horror that is San Diego, California.

49:17- Ted Ginn at the height of his powers at Ohio State was a thing of beauty.

And that is it for this week! Stay tuned because we have some pretty great surprised coming up for you guys in the next few Dubcasts. See you in seven agonizing days!
