Yesterday, UNC Head Football Coach Mack Brown spoke to the media about Tar Heel Quarterback Drake Maye’s jab at NC State on Tuesday.

“You can’t be cute anymore. He was trying to be funny. Drake is one of the nicest young people I’ve ever met in my life. He’s got great faith. He always wants to be classy and do things right. He was absolutely cutting up. Obviously it wasn’t true. I told him ‘Have fun, but always be respectful of everybody, especially your neighbors. NC State’s got a great university. It was fun. It was a young guy trying to cut up, and enjoy you all, and be relaxed before a big game, and it just didn’t come across right.”

“I think we’ve got way too much serious opinions. Maybe it’s a product of social media. People pick at each other all the time, so at lunch the NC State and Carolina people can pick at each other, and it’s ok, but for somebody to say something publicly, you’ve got a lot of people out there that are looking for something to get mad at. It was a joke, but for the people that want to be angry, it crossed a line.” 

Also, I found Dave Doeren’s retweet below comparing the two schools to be hilarious.

Also, Joe Giglio and Joe Ovies nailed it on the head below.

  • People that went to NC State and UNC talk trash…what are we doing mad at Drake Maye here?
  • We don’t think about you, we just talk about you all the time. You’re about to play Notre Dame at home, and you’re worried about State.
  • That’s where Carolina has the problem. They don’t want to admit that they think about State.
  • It’s Carolina thinking it’s too spicy this week. Having Drake Maye apologize makes it worse.

LOL, yep, this was one of the sillier ‘incidents’ in the rivalry / non-rivalry. Nobody cares.

NC State offered Interior Offensive Lineman D’Angalo Titialii (6’2″/320) today. After entering the Portal, the Wolfpack were the first to offer him.

Titialii spent his first three seasons at Portland State, which competes in the FCS. This year, he was the starting Center for the Vikings, and the year before he was their starting Left Guard. Over three seasons, Titialii started in 28 of the 32 games he played in.

Titialii is an intriguing prospect, considering he can play numerous positions on the Offensive Line.

After Elinus Noel III (6’2″/230) entered the Transfer Portal yesterday, it didn’t take long for NC State to extend an offer.

He also has picked up offers from Baylor and Temple.

Noel III played last year at Texas Southern, which is in the FCS. As a Junior, he had 52 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 10 games.

Prior to Texas Southern, Noel III spent his first two seasons at Nicholls State, where he recorded a total of 53 tackles.

247Sports ranked him as a 3-Star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class out of New Orleans (LA).

Noel III has 1 year of eligibility remaining.

With Nick Campbell entering the Transfer Portal, NC State is in the hunt for some depth at Nose Tackle. Even if the staff were to feel confident with what they have in JR Brandon Cleveland and RS-SODJ Jackson, the Wolfpack is in need of depth at the position.

WATCH: In NC State’s Spring Game, Tight End Justin Joly Showed He is Going to Be Trouble for Opposing Defenses in ’24

It was evident NC State Tight End Justin Joly (6’3″/235) is going to be a problem for opposing defenses after his performance in the 2024 Spring Game a few weeks back. He is an extremely athletic Tight End, but he’s also bigger and more physical than I expected.

According to my calculations, Joly had 3 receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. He started things off with a 3-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone. He followed that up with a 16 yard catch across the middle through contact. Finally, Joly was the recipient of a double-reverse flea flicker, from RB Demarcus Jones II to WR Kevin Concepcion to QB Grayson McCall to him, for a 37-yard gain.

Joly transferred to NC State this offseason from UCONN, and he was the #2 Tight End in the Transfer Portal according to ON3. He had an incredible Sophomore campaign this past year, catching 56 passes for 578 yards and 2 touchdowns. Joly had 4 receptions for 38 yards in the season opener against the Wolfpack.
