UNC QB Drake Maye Rips NC State Talking to Media…Then Tweets an Apology

NC State fans love to hate UNC.

It’s nice when they make it easy for us.

Redshirt Freshman Quarterback Drake Maye, unprompted today, threw shade NC State’s way. Answering why he chose to go to UNC, and had the following to say:

“I didn’t want to miss out on the home state. Whether you want to admit it or not, growing up in North Carolina, you’re going to be a Carolina fan. Some people may say State, but people that go to State can’t get into Carolina.”

Then Maye shared the following tweet, apologizing for his earlier remark.

This reminds me of when UNC Women’s Basketball Coach Courtney Banghart called NC State fans “classless,” and moaned about NC State fans being “mean” to them…and then she tried to say she didn’t mean what she said.

Drake…it’s ok.

It’s encouraging.

Y’all typically try to pretend this isn’t a rivalry. Obviously, NC State doesn’t mean nothing to you, when you feel the need to hate on them unprompted.

Wolfpack fans never pretend like they don’t like the Tar Heels. UNC tries to hide it, like they are above it.

It’s moments like this that show the feeling is mutual. Thanks Drake.

It’s not as if NC State needed any motivation to play UNC on November 25th in Chapel Hill, but the bulletin board material is much appreciated.
