Ep 668Belichick’s Hall of Fame snub exposes football politics | NC State improving on court while fans slobber over logos | Bomani Jones convo | Social Media Dump | 01.28

E

As the guys like to say, anyone can podcast on a Monday — and the same apparently goes for a Wednesday. Especially when Bill Belichick is reportedly snubbed on his first Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot and NC State fans are losing their minds over logos. Ovies & Giglio welcome Bomani Jones to the show to dig into the Belichick news and the very political reality of Hall of Fame voting across every sport. Why do these debates always get so messy, and what actually matters when it comes to legacy? Then it’s on to ACC hoops, where there are two very different NC State conversations happening at once: the Wolfpack’s win over Syracuse and head coach Will Wade apologizing after accidentally kicking a hornet’s nest over retro uniforms. Plus, are the Carolina Hurricanes eyeing a move for Vincent Trocheck? Another Social Media Dump, your OG Sports Phone calls, and more.

Ep 667Myers Park to Super Bowl: Drake Maye’s coach on QB journey | Duke and everyone else in hoops? | Mensah settles | OG Sports Phone | 01.27

E

After some winter weather banter to get things rolling, Ovies & Giglio welcome Louisville Courier-Journal’s C.L. Brown for a deep dive into ACC basketball. What was billed as a marquee regular-season showdown between Duke and Louisville quickly turned into a blowout, raising the big question facing the league right now: Is it Duke…and then everyone else in the ACC?From there, the show shifts to football with Clayton High School head coach Scott Chadwick, who reflects on his time at Myers Park — right when Drake Maye was beginning to turn heads at quarterback. Chadwick shares insight into Maye’s early development, how he ultimately landed at North Carolina, and the unforgettable moment when Sam Darnold broke down Maye’s HUDL tape.In college football news, Darian Mensah and Duke officially settle their NIL contract dispute. Triangle-area attorney David McKenzie joins the show to explain what the settlement actually accomplished—and what it means for the future of NIL agreements.Plus, your OG Sports Phone calls and plenty more along the way.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - NC weather law of the wolf?06:00 - ACC hoops24:00 - Housekeeping30:00 - Scott Chadwick on Drake Maye1:04:00 - Bills did what?1:12:00 - Mensah and Duke settle1:32:00 - Hey Joe OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 666Maye & Darnold make Charlotte center of Super Bowl universe | UNC, Duke, & State hoops | 'Slobbering Wolf' debate | 01.26

E

The latest Ovies & Giglio kicks off with Super Bowl storylines running straight through Charlotte, thanks to the matchup between New England and Seattle. The game heads back to San Francisco — the site of the Panthers’ last Super Bowl appearance — and there’s a full-circle moment tied to it. Drake Maye, a Charlotte kid who grew up rooting for Cam Newton, was there for that Panthers loss… and now he’s playing on the sport’s biggest stage himself. There’s also the remarkable reclamation of Sam Darnold, who has gone from being benched by the Carolina Panthers to finding his way back into relevance. And looming over it all? An increasingly awkward couple of weeks ahead for Bill Belichick.Then it’s over to ACC hoops, where North Carolina stole the spotlight Saturday with a comeback win at Virginia. After the west coast flop had many writing off the Heels, a road win like that could be an inflection point for Hubert Davis and the season’s direction. NC State also notched another road victory—and while that’s worth noting, the internet seems far more focused on… logos. Why is everyone suddenly obsessed, and what does it even mean?TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - RIP Giglio's Rams ticket03:00 - Charlotte center of Super Bowl universe09:00 - Is New England likable?18:00 - Second guessing the Seans28:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate30:30 - Belichick biggest loser of the weekend40:00 - Housekeeping46:00 - ACC hoops1:13:30 - Hey Joe1:26:00 - Slobbering Wolf debateOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 664Did UNC get their groove back? | Smith Center debate boiling | Mensah saga continues | Moments in Triangle Snow History | 01.22

E

It’s another OG Live, brought to you by The Butcher’s Market, and the guys are joined by ESPN’s Wes Durham to break down North Carolina’s emphatic win over Notre Dame. Was it the wake-up call the Tar Heels needed — or simply taking advantage of a matchup that won’t be there when UNC heads to Virginia?From there, the conversation shifts to NC State’s ongoing consistency issues and whether anyone in the ACC can realistically challenge Duke as conference play unfolds. Speaking of the Blue Devils, the Darian Mensah saga continues. While the case could help set NIL precedent, it also raises a bigger question: do situations like this — along with NBA draft picks returning to college — further erode what draws fans to college sports in the first place?Plus, another edition of Great Moments in Triangle Snow History, your OG Sports Phone calls, and plenty more.OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

E

After a brief detour into mushroom coffee, the guys dive into NC State’s win at Clemson and Will Wade getting a crash course in the “Law of the Wolf." Then Patrick Stevens (Washington Post, OG Media’s chief bracketologist) joins the show to unveil his first NCAA Tournament bracket projection of the season, setting the table for how ACC teams are stacking up early.It’s time for a hockey break with Canes play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco, including why the Olympics might be exactly what Freddie Andersen needs as the Hurricanes manage their goalie situation. Later, Mitch Northam checks in on women’s hoops, including where the ongoing Smith Center debate lands for UNC’s women’s program. Plus, Duke sues Darian Mensah, and the episode wraps with a very special memorabilia delivery from a listener.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Mushroom coffee?04:00 - Wade learns "Law of the Wolf"17:00 - Bracketology26:00 - Housekeeping31:30 - Maniscalco on Canes57:00 - Women's hoops check-in1:11:30 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:19:00 - Duke sues Mensah1:31:30 - Gifts!OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 662Who Will Be the Next Indiana? Answer Might Be UNC or NC State | Can the Heels Fix Their Hoops Season? | 01.20

E

The guys open the show reacting to Indiana’s improbable 16–0 national championship season, capped by the Hoosiers knocking off Miami in the College Football Playoff. There’s a breakdown of the game itself, but the bigger conversation centers on how Curt Cignetti flipped one of the worst major-conference programs in college football history in just two seasons — and what that means for the sport moving forward.That leads to the inevitable question: who’s the next Indiana? And after digging into the realities of modern college football, the answer may only come from the Triangle.Switching to college basketball, The Athletic’s Brendan Marks joins the show to revisit a debate from December: who actually has the better roster, UNC or Duke? But maybe that’s the wrong framing. Maybe this season is really about coaching. What’s behind UNC’s recent struggles, can they be fixed, and how much does the ongoing conversation about the future of the Smith Center reflect a broader uncertainty about the future of Tar Heel basketball itself?TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Mountain Time is the best time05:00 - Indiana did it17:00 - Larger implications of this CFP28:00 - The "next" Indiana is NC State or UNC36:00 - Housekeeping42:00 - UNC or Duke's roster part two47:00 - What's up with Caleb Wilson1:02:00 - Smith Center debate1:10:00 - NC State danger zone1:23:00 - Ovies' crazy Belichick to Bills idea1:33:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:38:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 661Danger zone for UNC, NC State | The Patriots redefine Bracket Luck | Canes hitting stride

E

California was unkind to UNC basketball. After losing both legs of the Golden State trip, the Tar Heels and Hubert Davis face some serious questions. Meanwhile, NC State did what it previously hadn't done and lost a game it shouldn't. Eighteen games into the season, Will Wade's team is searching for an identity. Hats off to the New England Patriots and their fans. Their long nightmare is finally over. Seriously, how lucky can one franchise be? The Carolina Hurricanes have a matinee with the Buffalo Sabres. Don't look now but the Canes, with all of their parts, look like a War Machine. Hayes Permar joins Joe Giglio for a special live episode, brought to you by Bloomin Blinds.

Ep 659OG Mailbag: Hubert Davis reaching 'Forever Grateful' status? | Smith Center nostalgia | Pryor out

E

On this episode of OG Mailbag, Ovies & Giglio dig into why Hubert Davis may have reached the dreaded “forever grateful” status with some UNC fans — and why that framing misses a bigger point. The ACC is simply better this season, and the west coast swing is taking a toll on a lot of teams. That doesn’t mean UNC doesn’t have defensive issues, but neither do NC State or Duke. The real question: can any of them actually fix it?Staying in Chapel Hill, there’s also been a noticeable uptick in Smith Center nostalgia — what’s driving it, and what does it say about the current moment for UNC basketball?Plus, it wouldn’t be OG Mailbag without strong opinions on Panthers QB Bryce Young, along with a handful of off-the-wall questions covering cruise ships, wide shoes, and John Pryor.Want the full episode?

Ep 658SEC’s title drought turning into conference crisis? | CFP format debate | Canes check-in | NFL Lightning Round | 01.14

E

With Demetri Ravanos filling in for Giglio, the show opens with a big-picture college football question: is the SEC cooked? The league hasn’t put a team in the College Football Playoff championship game for three straight years, and the landscape has clearly shifted. With money flooding the sport, the transfer portal enabling drastic roster turnover, and Nick Saban no longer running the show, is there finally enough data to say the SEC’s grip is slipping? And if so, how does the conference fix it? The answer might lie in the structure of the College Football Playoff, but even there, the Big Ten and SEC want very different things. Still, one thing is undeniable — college football has never been more popular.From there, it’s over to the Carolina Hurricanes, coming off an overtime loss to Detroit and a regulation loss to St. Louis. With Florida coming to town, this next game is more about setting the tone than the final score. In the Lightning Round, the guys hit Bryce Young’s 5th-year option, Mike Tomlin’s exit from Pittsburgh, and more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Is the SEC cooked?14:00 - CFP format debate rages on23:00 - Football fans over McAfee?28:00 - Realignment rumors are back!35:00 - Housekeeping41:00 - Maniscalco on the Canes1:11:00 - NFL Lightning Round1:33:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

E

The guys open the show with the Carolina Hurricanes getting jobbed by the refs in an overtime loss to Detroit — fitting on Sergei Fedorov’s jersey retirement night, which only adds another chapter to the weird and complicated Canes–Red Wings lore.From there, it’s over to the NFL, where we brace ourselves for the exhausting conversations that are about to dominate the offseason around Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers. Plus, Houston’s defense put on a clinic, showing why they might be the best unit in the league — a sobering preview of what Drake Maye and New England are up against. Then it’s time to zero in on the Carolina Panthers and their offseason checklist. One thing is no longer up for debate: Bryce Young is the quarterback through at least 2027. So what exactly needs to get better around him?Ovies’ dad swings through the studio to talk Miami Hurricanes, and in Hey Joe, the guys dive into a spirited debate about Eagles fans vs. Bills fans.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro02:00 - Canes almost spoil Fedorov night12:00 - Houston smushed Pittsburgh20:00 - Drake "Drake Maye" Maye28:00 - Housekeeping35:00 - Carolina Panthers offseason1:01:00 - Ovies' dad on The U1:27:00 - Eagles fans vs. Bills fansOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 656Canales & Young finally won over Carolina Panthers fans | UNC & Duke defensive woes | NFL Wild Card takes | 01.12

E

The guys open the show by admitting OG Media, LLC nearly dissolved over Giglio’s Rams ticket and Ovies cracking open a 10-year-old Super Bowl 50 beer in hopes of summoning playoff magic. Spoiler: the beer wasn’t strong enough. The Carolina Panthers’ season ends in the NFL Wild Card, and while the final defensive stand is fair to question, Dave Canales and Bryce Young deserve real credit for winning fans over after taking serious heat back in September.From there, it’s a Lightning Round of NFL Wild Card takes, including one big-picture question: when is it OK to move on from a coach who consistently gets you to the playoffs? Then it’s over to ACC hoops, where Duke and UNC are both searching for defensive consistency, while NC State keeps handling business in games they’re supposed to win.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro03:00 - Rams get over on Panthers17:00 - NFL Wild Card takes37:00 - Housekeeping41:00 - Triangle hoops1:04:00 - Panthers won fans back1:20:00 - OG Sports Phone1:36:00 - Hey Joe is Indiana a war machine?OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They also discuss how the Carolina Panthers have tapped into vibes reminiscent of the 2019 Carolina Hurricanes, and why fans should embrace the moment.Plus, questions about the future of FanDuel Sports Network, a check-in on ACC basketball, and a very important debate: should Ovies & Giglio do a show from Marbles Kids Museum?

E

It’s a Butcher’s Market OG Live, and Ovies & Giglio make sure the vibes are right—starting with Ovies cracking open (and drinking) another Super Bowl 50 beer in honor of the Carolina Panthers. Speaking of vibes, they’re about to be sky-high in Charlotte with the expected return of Cam Newton. The Athletic’s Brendan Marks, who covered the franchise during the final days of the Newton era, joins the show to explain why this moment matters and what it means for the Panthers fan base.From there, the guys shift to ACC basketball for a midseason check-in, including the big question: how many teams will the conference send to the NCAA Tournament? They also dive into the College Football Playoff, where the Ole Miss mess could turn out to be a blessing for Miami, plus plenty of NFL playoff picks to wrap things up.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro04:00 - Super Bowl 50 beer08:00 - Panthers picks12:30 - Brendan Marks40:30 - Housekeeping46:00 - Seth Jarvis convo52:30 - Brind'Amour convo1:10:00 - CFP & NFL picks w/ Gordon Miller1:36:30 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 653NC State’s Season Feels Like '25 UNC | Duke’s Slow Starts Matter Long Term? | Jarvis Returns, Rantanen Gets Booed | NFL Vacancies | 01.07

E

The show opens with ACC basketball, where Duke and NC State each picked up wins that felt very glass half full, glass half empty. For the Blue Devils, slow starts are becoming “a thing,” but Jon Scheyer and his roster continue to problem-solve in real time. For the Wolfpack, opponents lighting it up from three remains an issue — but getting Darrion Williams going was a much-needed positive.From there, it’s on to the Carolina Hurricanes, where fans welcomed Mikko Rantanen with boos and chants. Fun moment — but the bigger story is Seth Jarvis returning to the ice and what that means for the Canes moving forward. The guys wrap with the NFL, where there are already seven head coaching jobs open, with potentially two more depending on how the playoffs play out in Buffalo and Pittsburgh.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Duke's slow starts09:00 - NC State got DW going20:00 - Housekeeping24:00 - Maniscalco on the Canes1:01:00 - NFL coaching vacancies1:14:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:22:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ovies & Giglio set the table for a busy night of Triangle sports, with NC State and Duke both in action, before turning their focus to UNC basketball. While much of the attention has been on Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar, the spotlight shifts to the Tar Heels’ guard play following the loss to SMU. News & Observer’s Shelby Swanson joins the show to break down Hubert Davis’ options and what changes could be coming.The guys then circle back to the Carolina Panthers with Charlotte Observer writer Mike Kaye.

E

The show opens with the Carolina Panthers winning the NFC South in the most NFC South way possible — backing into the title after whiffing on their chance to clinch it against Tampa Bay. In the end, it doesn’t matter. After everything the franchise has endured since its last playoff appearance in 2017, a division title is a division title. Plus, the guys note some familiar vibes starting to line up with past Panthers playoff runs…including 2015.From there, it’s on to ACC basketball at the midway point of the season. With UNC and Duke, the identities are clear and both teams are actively problem-solving their issues. NC State, on the other hand, is still a mystery — and Will Wade is doing his best to maximize the roster he assembled, which helps explain his viral New Year’s Eve outburst following the win over Wake Forest.In the Lightning Round, Ovies & Giglio hit a busy stretch for the Carolina Hurricanes, react to the College Football Playoff, transfer portal movement, and the latest NFL head coaching openings.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Panthers Kings of 💩 Mountain!25:30 - Housekeeping35:00 - Will Wade had a week1:04:00 - UNC & Duke problem solving1:15:00 - Canes just trying to survive1:22:00 - College football1:36:00 - NFL openings1:44:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ovies & Giglio check in one last time in 2025, with plenty to get into today. They open with the Carolina Panthers, who continued their win-loss pattern by dropping their final home game against the Seattle Seahawks. While the result wasn’t a surprise, it’s fair to be disappointed that Carolina didn’t lock up the NFC South when they had the chance. Now it all comes down to Week 18 vs. Tampa Bay, with a possible backdoor to the division title if the Atlanta Falcons lend some help.In the Lightning Round, the guys hit more injury trouble for the Carolina Hurricanes — and this one’s significant — as Pyotr Kochetkov is out for the season after electing surgery to address a lingering lower-body issue. They also check in on NC State, UNC, and Duke heading into ACC conference play, plus quick thoughts on college football bowl season.The rest of the episode continues on the YouTube Membership channel, where Ovies & Giglio audit podcast metrics, revisit some calls of the year, and open up the OG Sports Phone for listeners to share their best moments of 2025.

Ep 648Panthers pattern leading to NFC South title? | Belichick & Petrino!? | Triangle hoops check-in | CFP's blowout problem | 12.22

E

Ovies & Giglio get sidetracked early by the news that UNC is set to hire Bobby Petrino as its offensive coordinator, which naturally raises the question: is Bill Belichick actively trying to get everyone in Chapel Hill to root against them? From there, the guys eventually make it to the Carolina Panthers, where the pattern continues to hold and has them positioned to win the NFC South. The win over the Buccaneers somehow managed to encapsulate the entire Panthers season in one game. In college football, NC State finally snapped its bowl losing streak — but what does it actually mean, and will CJ Bailey be back? Plus, the College Football Playoff doesn’t have a Group of Five problem...it has a seeding problem. The show shifts to college hoops with Will Wade’s candid assessment of NC State, Duke finally getting burned after playing with fire, and UNC looking more complete with the return of Seth Trimble. Things wrap up with some angry calls to the OG Sports Phone about the Carolina Hurricanes, who — according to the listeners — need some MFers.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - UNC hired Petrino!?10:00 - Panthers pattern pays off27:00 - Housekeeping33:00 - NC State won a bowl game!49:00 - CFP's blowout problem1:04:00 - NC State hoops1:13:00 - Duke hoops1:20:00 - UNC hoops1:30:00 - Canes need MFersOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The guys open the show reacting to Will Wade’s viral postgame press conference, where the NC State coach declared that “kindergarten is over.” Was the message aimed at his players—or the fan base? And what does it say about where the Wolfpack are right now?They then turn to the Carolina Panthers, breaking down the team’s strange but telling patterns this season. Based on their win-loss cycle—and their success as Vegas underdogs—the Panthers should be positioned to take over as the Bucs and eventually win the NFC South. The big question: can they overcome the officials?Next, The Athletic’s Brendan Marks joins to discuss where UNC and Duke still need to improve, and whether the Tar Heels actually have the better overall roster than the Blue Devils.Finally, Hurricanes play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco stops by to talk about Sebastian Aho snapping his scoring drought, how Carolina’s goalie situation ultimately played out, and Nashville hot chicken.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Wade goes viral14:00 - Carolina Panthers will win NFC South29:00 - Housekeeping33:30 - Athletic's Brendan Marks53:00 - Maniscalco1:26:00 - Hey Joe...are college football coaches OK?OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The guys open with Triangle hoops, where Duke and UNC shook off sluggish starts to get wins—and in doing so, continued to show clear identities this season. That’s not the case for NC State, where questions remain about what Will Wade wants this team to be the rest of the way — and whether Ovies & Giglio were wrong about the Wolfpack’s season so far. Fans certainly aren't happy with some of Monday's takeaways.The show then shifts to college football as Yahoo!

Ovies & Giglio are back to break down a brutal weekend for local sports, starting with NC State loss to Kansas. Moral victories were not the promise from Will Wade, and now the Wolfpack's NCAA Tournament path is a little trickier thanks to missed Quad 1 opportunities. Then it's onto the most predictable team in the NFL: The Carolina Panthers. They did it again, blowing a critical game to the New Orleans Saints. While the NFC South is technically still in play, Panthers fans should've seen this "up-and-down" cycle coming. Finally, Luke DeCock joins the podcast after stepping away from his role at the News & Observer. They look back on a quarter-century of Triangle sports and dive into the serious concerns about the current state of local media coverage and what it means for the future of sports fandom.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro04:00 - Pack's Q1 problem20:00 - OG Sports Phone27:00 - NC State's soccer reckoning35:00 - Duke's resume38:00 - UNC's sleepy weekend41:00 - Housekeeping47:00 - Panthers blew it1:07:30 - Luke DeCock1:51:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The show opens with Joe Giglio delivering an apology to NC State head coach Dave Doeren — which might be the best birthday present Doeren got all week. From there, the guys dive into Will Wade’s “Red Reckoning,” which is starting to look more like a series of red flags for Wolfpack hoops after their ACC-SEC Challenge loss at Auburn. As the Carolina Hurricanes gear up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 2006 Stanley Cup run, Canes legend Eric Staal joins the pod to reflect on that championship season and share what life has been like in retirement. Plus, a social media dump, a few detours (of course), and much more.This episode comes to you from Copiers Plus in Fayetteville, where Ovies & Giglio were invited to the company’s holiday party.

On today’s Ovies & Giglio, the guys open with ACC hoops, which has quietly trended much better than last year’s slog. But this week brings a real measuring stick with the ACC–SEC Challenge, starting with potential statement opportunities for Duke and North Carolina. After a brief tangent on the end of an era with K&W cafeterias closing, the guys welcome ESPN’s David Hale to unpack the ACC’s doomsday College Football Playoff scenario. Should the league push for auto-bids, or is this a brutal reflection of Clemson and Florida State taking major steps back at the worst possible time? Then WFNZ’s Walker Mehl stops by to talk Carolina Panthers, searching for some level of zen while trying to make sense of Bryce Young and the overall direction of the franchise.

NC State’s Maui stumble sets the tone for the show as Ovies & Giglio dig into the Wolfpack’s loss to Seton Hall. Will Wade’s early honeymoon in Raleigh comes to a sudden halt, and the guys lay out why this setback ramps up the pressure in several must-win non-conference games if the Pack wants to stay on a realistic NCAA Tournament path. They also tackle the growing concerns about NC State’s defensive structure and what needs to change fast.Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers delivered a full-blown primetime flop. Bryce Young slipped back to his season averages, Dave Canales made a handful of puzzling calls, and the Panthers found new ways to undo any momentum they’d built.Today’s Ovies & Giglio looks a little different.

Ep 629Same As It Ever Was: NC State vs UNC Decides the Season…Again | 11.24

Another college football season in the Triangle comes down to one simple truth: how’d you do against your rivals? For NC State and UNC, the entire vibe of the year hinges on Saturday’s result. For Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren, it’s all about maintaining the status quo — a rollercoaster season potentially saved again by beating the Tar Heels. For Bill Belichick, it’s a full-on Hail Mary attempt to salvage anything positive from the circus of his first year in Chapel Hill…and maybe, somehow, still sneak into a bowl.
