From “false fall” weather to win-total predictions for the Lions, Michigan, and Michigan State, Sean Baligian dives deep into preseason optimism, cautionary tales, and why “Crazy Month” always changes the outlook.

He breaks down Jared Goff’s pressure problem, the Lions’ revamped defense, and why he’s calling for 12–5 and a division crown. On the college side, Sean and listeners preview Michigan’s season, question MSU’s bowl hopes, and share hot takes on Bryce Underwood, Miami as a playoff dark horse, and the Big Ten’s playoff path.

Whether you’re a Lions diehard or a college football fanatic, this episode captures the excitement of the season’s kickoff — with Sean’s trademark humor, honesty, and a few “slapd*ck” confessions along the way.
