You may remember that I swore off UNC football until the team got a quality win (sorry, Dook and State don't count). But I'm making a slight exception to the rule. I made a bet this week with David Kernodle that the Irish would beat UNC and I gave him a 60 point spead. I know what you are saying.... We'll lose, but surely not by that much. Well, here's my reasoning. We've already lost to Clemson by 45 this season. We lost to Lousiville last year by 55. Our defence is worse this season than last, and we've got a pair of quarterbacks that adverage about 14 interceptions a game. On top of that, Notre Dame needs a huge win to remain in the BCS hunt, and Charlie Weiss will make sure they know that UNC is the fattest target on their schedule.

If UNC comes closer than 60 points, I'll gladly buy a pizza for David, and I'll bet a shiney penny against all other takers.
