On this sweltering solo edition of Off The Air, Sean Baligian swaps the grill for the A/C, reminisces about playing outside all day as kids, and wonders how we ever survived without sunscreen or central air. From hose water nostalgia to heated rivalries, Sean tackles everything from summer misery to Michigan–Michigan State banter, why some fans take things way too far, and the art of knowing when to keep quiet. Plus, thoughts on the Lions’ depth, college football’s championship-or-bust mindset, and why the Big Ten vs. SEC debate might be shifting. All that, with a side of sausage sampler stories and a countdown to kickoff.
