Hey NC State fans,

So you just got your butt kicked by UNC football... on your own field.

I know you like to talk about how awful we are at football, but if we're so bad, what does that make your team? Carolina is now 11-1, while you guys sit at 7-5. (We truly thank you for making it so easy to get our eleventh win.)

NC State fans love to say that Carolina is just "getting lucky," but our luck must be pretty great if it has lasted us 11 games in a row.

Yes, you are correct. NC State had a great win against us over Thanksgiving break last year. But let's take a look into the history of UNC-NC State football games.

UNC and NC State have played each other in football 63 times as members of the ACC, and the Tar Heels have won 35 of those games. (Trust me, you State fans don't even want to know how many times we beat you pre-ACC... it's a lot.)

Yes, I understand that you want to focus on our current teams, so I'll just refer back to the scoreboard.

This past week at NC State has apparently been #GTHC week.

You ask what we called this past week at UNC? Nothing. It was just a normal week to us because we not only knew we would win, but like we've said many times before, State is not our real rival. Duke is. That is why Hark the Sound ends with "Go to hell, Duke", and Duke's fight song says the same thing about us. NC State just happens to be located pretty close to our campus.

Well, I could go on about how much better Carolina is than NC State, but instead I'll just leave you guys with this:

SCOREBOARD.
