It’s a brand-new OG Mailbag, and Ovies & Giglio are diving straight into what you want to talk about. Questions about the Carolina Hurricanes, NC State and Will Wade, and UNC fans weigh in on the ever-heated Smith Center debate. There’s also plenty of NFL quarterback discourse, because of course there is, plus several other off-the-wall questions and observations that only an OG Mailbag can deliver.

It’s another OG Live, brought to you by The Butcher’s Market, and the guys are joined by ESPN’s Wes Durham to break down North Carolina’s emphatic win over Notre Dame. Was it the wake-up call the Tar Heels needed — or simply taking advantage of a matchup that won’t be there when UNC heads to Virginia?

From there, the conversation shifts to NC State’s ongoing consistency issues and whether anyone in the ACC can realistically challenge Duke as conference play unfolds. Speaking of the Blue Devils, the Darian Mensah saga continues. While the case could help set NIL precedent, it also raises a bigger question: do situations like this — along with NBA draft picks returning to college — further erode what draws fans to college sports in the first place?

Plus, another edition of Great Moments in Triangle Snow History, your OG Sports Phone calls, and plenty more.

After a brief detour into mushroom coffee, the guys dive into NC State’s win at Clemson and Will Wade getting a crash course in the “Law of the Wolf." Then Patrick Stevens (Washington Post, OG Media’s chief bracketologist) joins the show to unveil his first NCAA Tournament bracket projection of the season, setting the table for how ACC teams are stacking up early.

It’s time for a hockey break with Canes play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco, including why the Olympics might be exactly what Freddie Andersen needs as the Hurricanes manage their goalie situation. Later, Mitch Northam checks in on women’s hoops, including where the ongoing Smith Center debate lands for UNC’s women’s program. Plus, Duke sues Darian Mensah, and the episode wraps with a very special memorabilia delivery from a listener.
