Yow Responds to “Our State” Marketing Disaster

NC State’s hilarious “This is Our State” marketing campaign, an idea plagiarized from Mississippi State, has become even more comical in a year where their athletic teams have lost to nearly every other program in the state, including an 82-72 home defeat to NC Central on Wednesday.

“The history is it was meant as a tribute to our fans, who span the mountains to the seashores of NC.

I do not know what they will recommend.”
