In the glory days of the Miami Hurricane football program, the team was known for its swagger. The problem was that swagger meant one thing to the Hurricane fan and quite another to the rest of the civilized world. In fact, I much less enjoyed the football program’s collapse than I did the disappearance of the taunting, trash-talking, fighting…er, I mean swagger. Well, the ‘Canes have won the first two games of their season and each victory has released a little more of that old swagger.

So, today I was tweeting with new friend and now arch rival, Jennifer Vides. Jennifer is a big time college football fan…that’s the cool part. What’s not so cool is that she is also a big time ‘Canes fan. As a UNC alum, I cannot not stand for this and after some Twitter trash talking, we decided on a #collegefootballtweetup and, more importantly, a wager. As Jennifer puts it, this wager is for “pinks”; that is, the loser has to praise the winner’s team on his or her blog. What that really means is that Jennifer will be posting grand UNC praise on her blog on or around November 14, 2009. That is good thing, too, because she is an excellent writer and will represent quite nicely.

Join the party, pick any side you want as long as it is UNC, and come have some fun with us.

#collegefootballtweetup: November 14, 2009, UNC Tar Heels vs. Miami Hurricanes.
Location: To be determined, but will posted when finalized.

The canes will have to leave their swagger at the door because it ain’t happening in our house!

Check out Jennifer’s blog post on the wager.
