One Seat Over

Today's episode features Jeff Riger, longtime radio personality at 97.1 The Ticket.  Jeff and Joe rap on all things Detroit sports, from the title chances of Michigan State to the true grade of Jim Harbaugh's first year at Michigan.  Jeff also discusses how so many Lions' losses have driven him to laugh wildly when they get blown out in games and why the team's fan base is the most tortured in pro sports.  Tigers' free agency is given its day in the sun and Jeff details what needs the Tigers should still look to fulfill.  Last, Jeff participates in "Step Right Up" to see how many quarterbacks he can name from the winless '08 Lions and which Detroit athlete he was never thrilled to be interviewing.  All that and more on this episode of One Seat Over!

We are joined by Harold Shelton, a top researcher from the Big Ten Network, and formerly of ESPN.  Harold drops knowledge on the MSU/Kansas clash, Denzel Valentine's pro prospects, and why Michigan State fans might have reason to be optimistic heading into Saturday's showdown with Ohio State.  Later in the show, Harold talks about being starstruck meeting Magic Johnson, whether the Big Ten will ever change its name, and just how many Die Hard movies have been made to this point.  It's a terrific second episode of the show, and you'll leave a smarter college sports fan than when you entered.  Enjoy!

Tigers' radio voice Dan Dickerson joins the program to discuss his off-season routine, the incomparable Vin Scully, and how injuries really plagued the 2015 Tigers.  Dan also offers his thoughts on this winter's free agency frenzy and which players the Tigers might target.  Lastly, we play a rousing round of "Step Right Up," where we find out which movie Dan must watch every time it's on, even though he might not want to admit doing so.  Enjoy!
