The Miami Hurricanes and the Louisville Cardinals are playing one another in the Russell Athletic Bowl on December 28th. In the meantime, their mascots — Sebastian the Ibis and Louie the Cardinal — have been in a bit of a Twitter beef, and it is awesome.
I must admit, @LouietheCard. I look dashing in red for holidays But I'll be rocking Hurricane Orange on Dec. 28 #RAB pic.twitter.com/VnQVFVmJjP

They call Wednesday "Hump Day", but make no mistake about it, Camel: Every day is IBIS DAY. Write that down, @LouietheCard #RAB #Canes

@LouietheCard Yes, I wish I rid myself of that memory. But thanks to our 23 trips to Omaha, I have A LOT of frequent flier miles

@LouietheCard I don't like this hostility...and I was going to ask you to ride Splash Mountain with me.

.@UM_Sebastian Was gonna get him a Pipemobile (a la the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile), but I didn't win Mega Millions. :(

At some point the FAU mascot got involved. Miami’s mascot suggested a secret Santa, and Louisville’s mascot had to scoreboard.

@FAU_Owlsley @LouietheCard little known fact: I had the first bobblehead ever made for a mascot. At least that's what Mama Ibis told me...

Ok, @RussellAthBowl. Here's a deal you can't refuse: me vs. @LouietheCard in a Karaoke Bird-Off. I call dibs on "Free Bird"
