The battle of who could care less

It’s great to see our neighbors to the east fighting over whose fans have less class, especially in the wake of our 38-18 drubbing of NC State Saturday.

Behold, the NC State Technician v. the Daily Tar Heel. From the Wolfpack:

Win or lose the game tomorrow, these (UNC) fans will remain smug for at least the next few days. If they win, it’ll be the topic of conversation until we play them in basketball.

And from Chapel Hill:

I will deny into the ground that I was stereotypically born with a silver spoon in my mouth. But I would rather be thought of as a stuck-up Carolina girl than a classless State fan any day of the week—and that includes game day.

Neither one is as bad as Duke, but I found that both editorials are spot on about the other team’s fans. In my experience, I’ve also found that State fans are more direct and vulgar with their hate, while Heel fans tend to be condescending and arrogant.

Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about either of them gloating for a while.

I’m about to applaud Screamin’ Demons

The Old Gold & Black rarely says anything positive about the Screamin’ Demons but I am really happy because they are holding Spring Football Signups! That’s their exclamation point not mine, but I am pretty pleased about this. This is a smart move. Not only do you get more upperclassmen to sign-up but if you offer food, they will come. Here’s the info from the Facebook group:

What: Sporting Event
Host: Screamin’ Demons
When: Saturday, April 12 at 1:00pm
Where: HOOKS STADIUM- ON WFU CAMPUS
Need more convincing? You shouldn’t, football season is the best. I love getting super sweaty and dehydrated on my Saturdays while watching a little pigskin. But in case you do, go here. Go Deacs.
