Scott Wood has never married, but he thinks he understands one of marriage’s most tormented feelings.

After NC State’s loss to North Carolina, a reporter (not it) asked Wood an innocent question of how frustrating it is to have never beaten the Tar Heels.

Wood, a local media favorite for his honest answers, gave his most vivid response to date. “I don’t know,” he said. “Has your wife ever cheated on you?”

Watch the video above and you can almost hear the audible record scratch as awkwardness filled the entire room.

“That’s probably how frustrating it is,” Wood finished answering after four agonizing seconds of silence.

…and scene.
