There is no love lost between North Carolina and NC State. But for Tar Heels kicker Nick Weiler, the heat of their rivalry took a backseat to a simple act of kindness.
After NC State's Kyle Bambard missed a 33-yard field goal that would have won the game against Clemson over the weekend, he was the subject of taunting and abuse on Twitter. Kickers everywhere could relate, since just about all of them have missed at least one kick in their lives.
Weiler took the time to send an encouraging message to Bambard on Twitter on Monday, quoting Theodore Roosevelt.
