OG Mailbag: Will Wade back on his BS | Canes & DirecTV can't agree | Hurricane weather games Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

The mailbag is open, and Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are opening up the show with two massive national and local news updates before diving into the inbox. First, the guys respond to listener requests for hot takes on former LSU head coach Will Wade. In McNeese State's exhibition game against LSU, Wade raised eyebrows across college basketball by playing only seven players due to ongoing NCAA eligibility questions surrounding his roster. The crew listens to Wade's postgame comments and parses through the rhetoric to explain why this isn't just about his exit from Raleigh — it's a national story that proves everything this show has said about him all along.

Next, Ovies offers a key broadcast update regarding local TV carriage for the Hurricanes Hockey Network, breaking down where negotiations stand with DirecTV for Canes fans trying to watch games this season. Then, the guys answer a full batch of mailbag questions, from remembering some hurricane affected games, athletic department deficits and accounting realities, Mt. Rushmore prompts, cats vs. dogs, and clearing out the OG Sports Phone.

Show notes

Dave Doeren faces a "must win" against Wake Forest, former Deacs coach Dave Clawson admits treating NC State like their Super Bowl, Panthers bye week checklist, and Seth Jarvis seems closer to a return.

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Intro
06:00 - Wake Forest is "must win" for Doeren
25:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate
29:00 - Housekeeping
31:00 - Dave Clawson convo
1:04:00 - LockedOn Panthers & ACC Julian Council
1:28:30 - Maniscalco on Canes, potential Jarvis return
1:45:00 - They Yankees Lose! DAA YANKEES LOSE!
1:57:00 - Hey Joe

The show opens in Raleigh, where NC State hosts Wake Forest in a high-stakes matchup that Joe Giglio classifies as an absolute "must-win" for Dave Doeren. Joe and Joe look back at similar moments throughout Doeren's 14-year tenure, examining why dropping this game to the Demon Deacons would derail the perception of the 2026 season.

After locking in best bets, including UNC at Pitt, in the OG Gambling Syndicate, the guys welcome former Wake Forest head coach and ESPN analyst Dave Clawson. Clawson pulls back the curtain on the rivalry, straight-up admitting that his Wake Forest teams treated playing NC State as their ultimate "Super Bowl." Clawson also shares expert analysis on portal roster construction and how Manny Diaz and Duke have adapted their scheme to match personnel.

Switching to the NFL, LockedOn Panthers host Julian Council steps up to deliver the Carolina Panthers bye week checklist. At 2-2, the Panthers sit right where most expected, but the way they arrived here — between Bryce Young's development and mounting injuries — tells a far more intriguing story.

Plus, Ovies was at Carolina Hurricanes practice to catch up with Mike Maniscalco and watching Seth Jarvis skate without a no-contact jersey. So how close is he to returning to the lineup?

North Carolina proved to be a tough out for Notre Dame, but how you view the loss depends on your expectations for Bill Belichick. While the Tar Heels look significantly more competent than last season, UNC didn't pay Belichick $10 million a year for moral victories.

Show notes

The mailbag is open, and Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are tackling a fiery set of calls and hot takes from the OG Sports Phone! The episode kicks off with a sarcastic deep dive into the latest coaching pressers. As legendary figures like Nick Saban and John Calipari complain about player NIL demands while insisting college coaches matter more than players, the guys ask: did college coaches just discover how free markets actually work? The crew contrasts college athletics with professional sports leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB), where star players routinely command far higher salaries than entire coaching staffs.

Then, the mailbag turns to Chapel Hill with a wild listener theory: is it possible some UNC boosters and administration members secretly want Bill Belichick to fail so the university can move on from the ongoing off-field drama and start fresh?
Plus, the guys take more calls on Dave Doeren's status at NC State, evaluate the Carolina Panthers' trajectory, and close out with a hilarious look at Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's reported obsession with his personal Minecraft world!
