New NC State logo?

The Tobacco Road rivalry is a well-known moniker for matchups between the Big 4 North Carolina schools. The name is rooted in North Carolina’s long history with tobacco production, an industry that has played a significant role in the state’s history. Of course, we are all now well aware of the dangers and health risks associated with smoking. Yet somehow, NC State has continued to embrace this imagery. In fact, the Wolfpack surprisingly have created this completely real alternative logo for their team this season for the purpose of promoting this habit. The school should be ashamed of encouraging its students and athletes to partake in such a deadly activity. And I fear we may see the consequences on the field this Saturday, when NC State’s players inevitably huff and puff their way through the game due to an inability to take in adequate oxygen. Perhaps the Wolfpuppies should rethink their training habits.

Another edition of fun facts about the Wake-NC State rivalry

It’s once again the best time of the year: NC State Hate Week! This is certainly an exciting year for Wake fans who desperately want to escape Raleigh with a win against our inferior but pesky rivals. As we approach the game I compiled a new edition of fun facts about college football’s second oldest continuous rivalry for your reading pleasure:

  1. Our first game against state was an electric 4-4 tie where NC state notably excelled in punting. Here is the news clipping from 1895.

  2. Wake has not lost an October game against state in 10 years

  3. Did you know the J in CJ Bailey’s name stands for Jezabelle?

  4. Here is a very real game program for this Saturday

  5. It’s been rumored some wake fans took a trip to the puppy palace this summer. Carter Finley and State’s season has been and will continue to be cursed by the spirit of the demon deacon as long as this sticker remains hidden on their stadium wall

  6. Did you know Dave Doreen is secretly the leader of a deep state North Korean strike team? Here is a photo of him from his mandatory military service at age 19

  7. Many complain about the electrical substation next to the SF 49ers Stadium, but State just paid $60 million to put brand new substations all across their campus. Contrary to popular belief wolves and electricity do not mix well

  8. NC State stinks
