Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio take a step back from the chaos of OG After Dark to find some rational takeaways from NC State’s win over ECU. How did Dave Doeren reach a point where even victories leave a chunk of the Wolfpack fanbase unsatisfied? Around the ACC, Duke QB Darian Mensah looks like the real deal, while the league faces a pivotal stretch of non-conference openers. Plus, Ovies can’t resist a tangent about Jerry Jones—why the Cowboys’ owner feels more like Vince McMahon than someone obsessed with winning another Super Bowl.

The guys also discuss Lee Corso's final College GameDay and the next chapter of college football shows. Between Pat McAfee and Dave Portnoy, there will be plenty of dick measuring going on from here on out. Speaking of Portnoy, was the Barstool boss really banned from Ohio State?

It's time for another Butcher's Market OG Live. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are broadcasting from Nature's Releaf in Garner. Darin Gantt drops by to wrap up the Carolina Panthers’ preseason — which ended with more of a whimper than a bang. Are the Panthers still shopping for a wide receiver before Week 1? In college football, the guys break down which ACC coaches are on the hot seat and which familiar faces are already hinting at a comeback.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio spend 30 minutes with UNC AD Bubba Cunningham, starting with a hypothetical — what would 2025 Bubba tell 2011 Bubba? They dig into UNC’s future in the ACC, the idea of a new basketball arena in ‘Carolina North,’ Hubert Davis’ expectations, and how Bill Belichick fits into the Tar Heels’ football plans. The guys then pivot to the NFL: why a Carolina Panthers trade for Cincinnati’s Trey Hendrickson isn’t realistic, why they think Indianapolis is tanking for Arch Manning, and why the national media just can’t stop dumping on Dallas Cowboys fans. Plus -- y'all serious about a shopping cart archery competition?
