Tar Heels State Claim

Posted Nov 2, 2013
North Carolina defensive backs Tré Boston and Tim Scott ran to midfield at Carter-Finley Stadium and started stomping on the freshly-painted Wolfpack logo. Defensive lineman Tim Jackson knelt down to slap the Wolfpack’s face, and got up to lead a “Whose state? Our state!” chant with his teammates, a play on N.C. State’s slogan of “This is our state.” (Durham Herald-Sun)
