Welcome to another solo edition of the OG Mailbag. I'm Joe Giulio. Joe Ovious is in Nashville this weekend with the

junior canes. We don't have Joe, but we do have your calls on a variety of topics. If you're new here,

the first portion of today's program will be free. The second part of it is for our paid

subscribers. All you got to do is look below. There's a link. Also, if you look on our YouTube page, there's a subscribe,

which most of you do. That's free. And then there's a join button. Hit that join button.

It's five bucks a month. Easy enough. You help support us here in our ventures and what we do.

Really help us pay our taxes. So we're very grateful of that, especially here in December, which is a quarterly tax month. So, right, we don't have Joe. We have your calls.

A lot of topics today on the free side. Philip Rivers, we'll get into a little bit about

why NFL awards are the way that they are. And could there be a very smart change for them?

And then obviously this week, Pete Povacqua and

Notre Dame got a lot of the attention earlier in the week on our show, of course, and then everywhere

else, a lot of backlash for Notre Dame. Got a couple of good calls about that. On the paid side,

get into a little bit about Bill Belichick, college football in general about conference titles and their value now.

The coaching hiring cycle, and to tweak a little bit of an idea that I've advanced

previously on this program, was Penn State search like NC State's basketball search in

06. Of course, in our opinion, nothing will ever top that search. And then a very special award from Ben from the Bull City Coordinators.

Ben, let's just say like some of my more colorful turn of phrases on this program,

and he's created an award just for that.

I promise you, that's worth the $5 by itself.

You'll want to stick around for that.

But let's start with the free side.

919.
