Dave Doeren’s Retweet, Mack Brown Addresses Drake Maye’s Comments, and Joe & Joe Nail It

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.
