NC State head coach Dave Doeren fueled the heated rivalry with North Carolina with some harsh comments earlier this week.
During the broadcast of today’s in-state rivalry game, the ESPN team unveiled some on-the-record accusations from the Wolfpack leader.
“They don’t like us. We hate them,” Doeren said. “We’re blue-collar, they’re elitist. Their coaches talk down to us. They talk behind our backs negatively in recruiting about our coaching staff.”
When asked if these comments were on-the-record, Doeren responded “I don’t give a [expletive].”

The all-time record for this rivalry stands at 68-37-6 in favor of the Tar Heels. Last year’s game in Raleigh finished with the Wolfpack notching two touchdowns in the final minute of the contest for a stunning comeback win.
Doeren and NC State lead the No. 17 Tar Heels 17-10 at the end of the first half in Chapel Hill.
This Saturday’s game between NC State and North Carolina is being televised on ABC.
