WSSU Rams have rivalry game J.C. Smith, homecoming ahead

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  --  No. 16 Winston-Salem State is in the middle of one of its best times of the football season — homecoming week with a game Saturday against its biggest rival, Johnson C. Smith.

And in the age of Twitter and Facebook, it didn’t take long for both sides to start some good-natured trash talking.

There were some pointed comments made Monday night in Charlotte, at a WSSU-J.C. Smith volleyball match. There also were tweets about how the Golden Bulls were going to beat the Rams in volleyball and follow with a football victory Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium.

Coach Connell Maynor of WSSU is taking it all in stride.

"People have been tweeting since we got here, and during the week, those other schools tweet that they are going to beat us and all of that,” Maynor said. “So that’s nothing new, and they tweet that our backs aren’t that good, our receivers aren’t that good, and our defense isn’t that good.

"But then they see it firsthand when we play the game how good we are.”
