OVIES & GIGLIO

Latest Episodes:

NC State & UNC set tone for hoops in opening wins | Panthers finally getting national attention | Canes check-in w/ Maniscalco | 11.04 Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

Demetri Ravanos fills in for Joe Giglio on today’s Ovies & Giglio — and it’s a big one. The guys dive into the “Red Reckoning” in Raleigh, where NC State head coach Will Wade made a statement in a dominating season-opening win over NC Central. What does it all mean? Maybe nothing… or maybe the Wolfpack are about to be the story of the ACC. Over in Chapel Hill, UNC looks like its old self again thanks to Caleb Wilson, setting up a fun hoops season on Tobacco Road.

In the NFL, the Carolina Panthers are finally getting some national attention — but a certain Panthers podcast got too much attention, and it’s backfired spectacularly. Plus, Carolina Hurricanes play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco joins the show to talk Brind’Amour’s latest line changes, the three-goalie situation, and the Canes’ upcoming matchup with the Rangers.

And of course, your OG Sports Phone calls.

Show notes

Ovies & Giglio dive into a massive weekend in football — starting with NC State’s upset over Georgia Tech, a win that could reshape the Wolfpack’s season and how fans talk about Dave Doeren's future in Raleigh. 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. Plus: Duke stays alive in the ACC title hunt with a win over Clemson and sent Dabo Swinney into some soul searching. Over in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers shocked the Green Bay Packers, changing the narrative around Dave Canales’ team and sparking new optimism in Charlotte. In the Lightning Round, the guys hit the start of ACC basketball season, break down the World Series, and of course, wrap it all up with your OG Sports Phone calls.

Doeren downplays retirement talk | NC State & UNC at season crossroads | Brind'Amour convo | 10.30 Oct 30, 2025

Show notes

Ovies & Giglio are back with a Butcher’s Market OG Live! The guys open with NC State head coach Dave Doeren addressing (and downplaying) retirement rumors before the Wolfpack’s matchup with Georgia Tech. Both NC State and UNC are at a season crossroads — if either team’s going to salvage 2025, it starts now. The coaching carousel continues to spin, but even the Triangle drama can’t top the circus at LSU. The guys also stop by Carolina Hurricanes practice to catch up with Rod Brind’Amour, who’s staying focused amid mounting injuries. He shares thoughts on Andrei Svechnikov’s first goal of the season, Nikolaj Ehlers’ progression as Cane, and the importance of face-offs. Plus, your OG Sports Phone calls to wrap it all up.

Show notes

Ovies & Giglio open the show with an OG Sports Phone call that accuses the Carolina Hurricanes of being on “fraud alert.” Are they getting trolled, or are there some Caniacs overreacting to a solid start clouded by injuries? The guys also break down the World Series — can the Blue Jays really pull this off against the Dodgers? Bomani Jones joins to talk Shohei Ohtani’s historic postseason, whether any of the open college football jobs are actually good, and how his Spanish lessons are going ahead of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. Plus, Giglio defends his harsh NC State basketball take, the guys celebrate Duke and UNC having on-court personalities again, and they issue a sports theme music challenge for listeners.

Show notes

Ovies & Giglio dive into a jam-packed Sports Equinox episode, starting with an instant World Series classic between the Dodgers and Blue Jays — and a reminder that we may not fully appreciate Shohei Ohtani’s historic greatness. Back home, two local coaches met with the media: Carolina Panthers’ Dave Canales, who needs to clean up his messaging about the running back rotation, and NC State’s Dave Doeren, who remains remarkably zen about his uncertain future. ESPN’s Roddy Jones stops by to break down the ACC’s College Football Playoff chances and the chaotic coaching carousel. Plus, Carolina Hurricanes voice Mike Maniscalco joins to recap the team’s road trip and explain why the Canes’ depth makes them so dangerous.

How NC State should handle Doeren going forward | Canales fumbles Panthers RB plan | Triangle hoops overreactions | OG Sports Phone | 10.27 Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

The latest Ovies & Giglio kicks off with a question -- what would be funnier, recently fired LSU coach Brian Kelly ending up at NC State or UNC? From there, the guys break down the state of Wolfpack football under Dave Doeren, where fan apathy is setting in and AD Boo Corrigan has decisions to make. 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. Andy Dalton’s forgettable showing might’ve actually helped Bryce Young, while Dave Canales’ indecisive backfield rotation between Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle didn’t help anyone.

Plus, the guys overreact to Triangle hoops exhibition games, OG Sports Phone calls, and Ovies shares his pilgrimage to Delaware’s legendary “pissing wall.”

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Brian Kelly at State or UNC?
06:00 - NC State football apathy
16:30 - How Boo should handle Doeren
23:00 - Will UNC win ACC game?
38:00 - Housekeeping
43:30 - Carolina Panthers humbled by Bills
54:00 - NFL quick takes

1:08:00 - Exhibition hoops overreactions
1:20:00 - Ovies whisked away to...Delaware

Show notes

It’s another Butcher’s Market OG Live! Ovies & Giglio dive into the wild duality of the NBA — NBC’s nostalgic broadcast vibes, Victor Wembanyama’s breakout performances, and Cooper Flagg’s debut are all good headlines… but so is an FBI gambling probe involving Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and more. In college hoops, the guys break down ACC teams’ floors and ceilings, and debate if G League players should be eligible for college basketball. On the football side, NC State’s bowl hopes start with Pitt, while UNC needs a bounce-back showing against Virginia to quiet the noise. Plus — how many ACC teams really have a shot at the College Football Playoff? The guys also check in on Bryce Young’s status ahead of the Panthers’ matchup with the Bills, wonder why Whalers throwbacks still get people heated, and wrap things up with your OG Sports Phone calls.
