Tobacco Road is an old old term.

Not sure if this question has come up at all...but in case anyone was wondering, that commercial was shown nationwide. I saw it in upstate NY as well. Almost would have thought it was made by Carolina or Duke fans because it seemed to be suggesting that NC State takes a backseat to those two stars of Tobacco Road/ACC and generally isn't considered to be as much competition for them as some may think. In all reality, that is a fairly accurate characterization; but I wouldn't expect NC State or its fans to point it out on a commercial to a nationwide audience. Stuck me as odd but kind of funny.
