In my Twitter client, I keep a column dedicated to mentions of "NC State" because it helps me catch news I might otherwise have missed, and because often times there is a lot of unintentional comedy involved. On Wednesday night, I noticed something odd--suddenly a bunch of UNC students were complaining about hearing the NC State fight song on their campus.
(Warning: NSFW language.)
Wow is nc state really driving around to every dorm playing their alma mater right now...

Keep on playing your little horns, wolfies. Some of us actually have studying to do. #UNC #goheels #BeatState

As it turns out, a portion of the marching band traveled to Chapel Hill in order to blare State's fight song from dorm to dorm, which is hysterical. It's also way more effective than UNC's go-to prank, which is painting the Free Expression Tunnel during game week. Twitter is evidence enough of its effectiveness. I included a lot here because I just could not narrow these down. To see more reactions, scroll through my Twitter feed.
Kudos to the NC State trumpeteers who drove over to Chapel Hill to play their fight song. Improvement from last year's cow parade. #RipBessy

SUPER WAY DEAD
Oh how classy NC State, driving all the way up here with your subpar marching band just to sing your fight song.

Subpar? Well that's just not nice.
