Ep 638Notre Dame Building Case to Dump ACC | What New Canes Fans Should Appreciate About '06 | Philip Rivers is Eternal | 12.09

E

Ovies & Giglio start with Notre Dame's calculated temper tantrum directed at the ACC. It’s not just anger — it’s the clear, aggressive first step in their exit strategy. Where does Notre Dame land next? We look at the obvious choice (the Big Ten) and the bold, ultimate move: should they lead the charge for the next generation of Super Conferences instead of just swapping scheduling partners?Maniscalco on the Hurricanes: The great Mike Maniscalco joins the show to break down the highly inconsistent Canes home-stand. With the 2006 Stanley Cup celebrations in the air, we ask: What is the crucial lesson newer Caniacs should take from celebrating that championship legacy?QB Market Desperation: The Colts are kicking the tires on 44-year-old Philip Rivers. His potential return after four years of retirement says everything about the current state and desperation of the NFL's quarterback market.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - ND setting up ACC exit29:00 - Housekeeping35:00 - Maniscalco on Canes1:08:00 - Philip Rivers back!?1:25:00 - 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 start with the immediate national train-wreck that is the College Football Playoff committee and the ensuing Notre Dame temper tantrum directed at the ACC.

The Carolina Panthers are somehow sitting atop the NFC South. Is this finally the moment the team stops disappointing and starts delivering?-- The Caniac Freakout: After a lackluster loss to the San Jose Sharks, the Hurricanes faithful are melting down over the goaltending situation again.

E

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. After two years as the show’s presenting sponsor, Copiers Plus is officially returning in 2026, and the guys celebrate by taking the show on the road to their corporate office.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro02:30 - Giglio apologizes to Doeren09:00 - Pack lose at Auburn28:00 - Housekeeping31:30 - Eric Staal convo56:30 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:06:00 - Social Media Dump1:28:00 - Drew Smith from Copiers PlusOG 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

North Carolina grinds out a win over Kentucky and Duke escapes Florida in dramatic fashion — two big statements for Hubert Davis and Jon Scheyer. So can NC State and Will Wade keep the ACC momentum going against Auburn? The latest College Football Playoff rankings have set everyone off again, and Ovies thinks there are only two real solutions to fix the mess going forward.

Ep 633UNC/Duke’s SEC hoops test | Finding zen in Bryce Young debate | ACC's real football problem | 12.02

E

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. Plus, the guys break down the latest sports media angle surrounding the ongoing Lane Kiffin saga.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - ACC SEC hoops challenge09:00 - RIP K&W16:30 - OG Gambling Syndicate19:00 - Housekeeping25:00 - ESPN's David Dale58:00 - WFNZ's Walker Mehl1:23:00 - More on Lane KiffinOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

E

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

E

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. (Word is organizers desperately want the Heels for the attention alone.)The guys take your OG Sports Phone calls, dig through the social clips piling up in their browser tabs, and get into ballooning...balloon budgets for college football programs.OG Winter Pop Up Shop: http://ogtrianglemediashop.comTIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro06:00 - It's not about Doeren, it's about Boo31:30 - Housekeeping38:00 - UNC really wants Belichick back?51:30 - FOIABall's Dave Covucci on balloon budgets and more1:16:30 - Panthers vs. 49ers1:21:00 - OG Gambling Sydincate1:25:30 - Social Media Dump1:46:30 - ACC tiebreakersOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Meanwhile, UNC might’ve finally turned a corner after beating Syracuse. Giglio sees the improvements, and while Ovies gives a ton of credit to the players, he's still skeptical about what it means for the Tar Heels going forward.

In Chapel Hill, UNC continues to lose close ones. The Tar Heels look better and are still competing, but they haven’t landed a Power Four win yet. Can they finally grab an ACC victory before wrapping up against Wake, Duke, and State?To the NFL, the Carolina Panthers were brought back to earth by the Buffalo Bills.

Maybe! At the very least, Dave Canales’ team finally looks like a functional NFL franchise, and that’s real progress in Charlotte.In the Lightning Round, Ovies & Giglio hit on the Carolina Hurricanes’ hot start, Shohei Ohtani’s once-in-a-lifetime night, and the mysterious loss of “generational swag” among today’s college students.

With Joe Giglio in Greenville for ECU vs. Tulsa, Chip Patterson joins Joe Ovies. The guys open with college football, where TV networks appear to be abandoning Bill Belichick’s Tar Heels now that UNC isn’t a national draw. If fans aren’t showing up and the team’s getting buried in the schedule, what’s the point of keeping Belichick in Chapel Hill? And if both UNC and NC State jobs open at the same time…which program would be more attractive to top coaching candidates?Then, WFNZ’s Walker Mehl hops on to talk about the Carolina Panthers, who are suddenly frisky under Dave Canales. Their road trip to New York feels like a trap game — but if they beat the Jets to move above .500 for the first time in nearly five years, the next game against Buffalo could be massive.Plus, Canes play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco checks in from the team’s annual NC State Fair road trip, where Carolina’s finding its groove despite some nagging injuries.

Ep 595The best football program in NC | Tiers of extremely online Caniacs | UNC's 'lost years' of hoops | 10.15

E

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio kick things off by breaking down why traffic around Carter-Finley Stadium is a nightmare for everything except football. Then it’s over to the Carolina Hurricanes, where Ovies urges fans to pace themselves during the long grind of the NHL season — and unveils his tiers of “Extremely Online Canes Fans.”The guys also dive into why the best college football program in North Carolina right now might actually be UNC-Pembroke. Athletic Director Dick Christy joins the show to discuss the Braves’ D-II success and the unique challenges of competing with the ACC’s big spenders.Later, former UNC basketball player and current Cardinal Gibbons head coach Michael Brooker stops by to reflect on the “lost years” of Tar Heel hoops under Bill Guthridge — an era that still produced two Final Four runs.Plus, more coaching carousel talk with the latest Mike Elko to Penn State speculation, what the Panthers’ running backs really tell us about the offense, and why Bill Belichick is starting to believe his own hype.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Carter-Finley traffic mess08:00 - Pace yourself, Caniacs13:00 - Tiers of the extremely online fanbase22:00 - Housekeeping26:30 - UNC-Pembroke AD Dick Christy51:00 - Gibbons coach Michael Brooker1:16:00 - Following up Elko, Belichick and more1:26:00 - OG Gambling SyndicateOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/Podcast: https://linktr.ee/ogtrianglemediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 594Duke to Penn State? Not Diaz, but Elko | NFL Week 6 observations | B1G buyouts | Lightning Round | 10.14

E

Giglio’s back — and he’s finally ready to reveal the real reason he missed Monday’s show: he was processing the possibility of Matt Rhule to Penn State. (Okay, maybe not entirely… but still.) Turns out, Giglio has a mystery candidate for the Nittany Lions job — and it’s a former Duke coach who’s not Manny Diaz.Then Extra Points’ Matt Brown joins the show to explain the Big Ten’s latest dance with private capital, what it could mean for athletic department budgets, and whether the era of insane coach buyouts might finally end once outside money starts calling the shots.Back in Chapel Hill, one thing isn’t up for debate: Mike Lombardi is not worth the $1.5 million UNC’s paying him. The guys also dish on NFL Week 6, from whether the Bills are slipping to if the Chiefs are truly back, before zeroing in on the Carolina Panthers, who sit at 3-3. What happens next for Rico Dowdle and Dave Canales’ crew?Finally, in the Lightning Round, they hit NC State’s loss at Notre Dame, UNC’s new messaging strategy, the Carolina Hurricanes’ backup goalie issue, and one of the wildest MLB double plays you’ll ever see — plus, your OG Sports Phone Calls.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Duke to Penn State connection?08:30 - You OK, Bills?11:00 - Panthers & Rico14:30 - KC back19:00 - Dolphins mess23:30 - Housekeeping29:00 - Lightning Round45:00 - Gordon's Detroit Depression58:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:04:00 - Matt Brown1:29:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/Podcast: https://linktr.ee/ogtrianglemediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 588Why being 'averagely bad' is GOOD for the Carolina Panthers | Eric Mac Lain on ACC | Belichick & Lombardi think we're all stupid | 10.6

E

The guys kick things off by giving the Carolina Panthers some long-overdue credit. Down 17 to the Miami Dolphins? No problem — they kept pounding and found a way to win. While questions remain about Bryce Young, there’s enough progress to “tell you something good” about where this franchise is headed. The victory proves the Panthers have officially graduated to being an averagely bad NFL team — and that’s actually a good thing.Around the NFL, Joe and Joe give Daniel Jones some respect, mourn the Ravens, and debate Taylor Swift’s newest song about Travis Kelce. Then ESPN’s Eric Mac Lain joins to break down where Miami fits in the national conversation after dominating Florida State, what to make of Clemson’s blowout over UNC, and whether Duke football is for real.And yes — it’s another round of Belichick talk. Turns out UNC finally said something nice about Drake Maye, but that doesn’t change the bigger picture: Bill Belichick and Mike Lombardi seem to think fans, donors, and media are dumb enough to buy the “rebuild” narrative in Chapel Hill. Spoiler: they’re not.Plus, your OG Sports Phone calls!
