College Football Playoff holding pattern | Is ACC officiating actually good? | Steven Godfrey on Belichick, learning "Law of the Wolf" | OG408 Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

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.

Show notes

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.

The Coaching Searches That Defined the Last 25 Years at NC State, UNC & Duke Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

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.
