About this episode
Sean Baligian is counting down the days until Week Zero—and he’s not shy about it. In this edition of Off The Air, Sean dives deep into why college football remains his ultimate sports obsession. From the unique magic of game day on any campus—yes, even Ann Arbor—to the evolving landscape of NIL, private equity rumors, and playoff expansion, Sean blends nostalgia with realism in a way only he can.
The episode features a spirited breakdown of Big Ten over-unders for 2024, including bold takes on Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Ohio State, and Iowa. He also unpacks what the soft out-of-conference schedules mean for playoff hopes—and why you can’t pencil in four Big Ten teams just yet.
Plus:• Tales from shirtless ESPN stunts at Rynearson Stadium
• Sean’s beef with HVAC units
• Why bowl games are a joke—but still worth going to
If you’re itching for fall Saturdays, cider mills, and chaos in the Big Ten, this one’s for you.
