Former NC Governor Roy Cooper had a choice: become OG Media’s Carolina Hurricanes podcast host…or run for U.S. Senate. He chose the campaign trail (but not before breaking down the Canes’ offseason first). Joe Ovies & Joe Giglio get his thoughts, then shift gears to NFL training camp with LockedOn Panthers host Julian Council. The talk of camp so far has been focused on the wide receiver group, but the real questions should be on defense. Can the franchise get back to at least being mid on that side of the ball? Plus, the ACC’s preseason predictions are out, and the guys tell you about their run-in with ex-commissioner John Swofford on the links at Sedgefield.

It's time for another Butcher's Market OG Live, broadcasting from the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club. Ovies and Giglio ask the biggest question of the college football season - who will break 8 wins in the Triangle? The schedule says UNC, but it's always easier said than done. The guys also discuss the passing of Hulk Hogan, the Happy Gilmore sequel, and how nostalgia is one helluva drug.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio unpack the latest buzz around North Carolina’s potential move to the SEC by 2030. What's real, what’s just being regurgitated by the college football media cycle, and where do things actually stand in Chapel Hill? They break down how the ACC’s new revenue model might impact UNC’s thinking, and whether the shifting media rights landscape will change how much money is really on the table for schools in the next decade. Plus, the guys debate whether Clemson can be more than just “ACC Good” this season with help from ACC Network analyst Eric Mac Lain. Also in the mix: Giglio’s latest social media dump, Ovies still hasn’t seen Happy Gilmore, and they tackle your latest “Hey Joe” questions.

The Bill Belichick circus has officially arrived at ACC Kickoff, and Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio were there to witness the spectacle. They also sit down with UNC’s Gio Lopez and Thaddeus Dixon to talk expectations for the season ahead and what it's been like in the early parts of Belichick's tenure in Chapel Hill. They guys catch up with NC State head coach Dave Doeren, who reflects on five years of major changes in Raleigh and opens up about how much longer he sees himself on the sidelines. Duke’s Manny Diaz joins to discuss the culture and continued buy-in as he takes over the Blue Devils, and Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien shares how his NFL background is shaping his approach to building a competitive college roster.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are recording live at ACC Kickoff in Charlotte. ESPN’s Wes Durham shares why the new schools are thrilled to be in the ACC, just how dangerous UNC could be this season, and his predictions for the year ahead. New Wake Forest head coach Jeff Dickert gets a crash course in how the Demon Deacons have ruined NC State’s football dreams in the past — and how he might keep that tradition alive. Ryan McGee of ESPN drops by to break down the current state of the SEC, while Spectrum News' Mike Solarte checks in on the Carolina Panthers and whether all the preseason "hopium" is actually justified. Finally, ACCN’s Taylor Tannebaum joins the show to explore the different roster-building approaches of Clemson and Florida State — and what it says about the future of each program.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio sit down with ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips for an in-depth conversation on the past, present, and future of college sports.

Looking ahead, he outlines how the conference is preparing for the next wave of uncertainty, and shares his perspective on the ongoing battle to find consensus around the College Football Playoff format.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are in Charlotte for ACC Kickoff. The start of college football talking season didn't really bring anything new to the table thanks to the College Football Playoff format holding pattern. Alberto Riveron, ACC Supervisor of Officials, sat down to discuss how conference officiating is actually good. How do they change the convo around it? With transparency. Split Zone Duo's Steven Godfrey joined the podcast to discuss whether or not Bill Belichick actually moves the needle in national media discussions, if UNC will be any good, and learned about "Law of the Wolf". WFNZ's Kyle Bailey and ESPN's Tom Lubinbill also join the show.

It's time for another Butcher's Market OG Live, broadcasting from Shady's in downtown Garner. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio open the show exploring the idea of Nick Saban returning to coaching — and what it says about legendary coaches like Saban and Bill Belichick who just can't walk away. Is it about control, identity, or the sheer thrill of the job? And is North Carolina getting its money's worth from Belichick thus far or are we all just waiting for the games to start? Plus, Nick Stevens joins the show to break down the growing budget problems facing North Carolina high school athletics — and why it’s a looming crisis no one should ignore.

In this latest edition of "Brief History Triangle Good" , Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio dive into the wildest coaching searches that defined the last 25 years in Triangle sports. From North Carolina swinging and missing twice in 2000, to NC State's post-Herb Sendek saga that turned coaching searches into a spectator sport, the guys break down the chaos, media frenzy, and the "what could have been" that have shaped the Tobacco Road landscape. Plus, they contrast it all with how Duke has managed to stay largely drama-free — and why that matters.
