UNC players say that short trip to Charlotte bowl will not be a letdown

Posted Dec 9, 2008
North Carolina won't escape winter's chill or visit an exotic locale to play its first bowl game in four years, but no one in the program is complaining about the events of Selection Sunday. UNC will have only a short bus ride to Charlotte for the Meineke Car Care Bowl and a game against West Virginia of the Big East Conference on Dec. 27. Playing in any bowl game was one of the season's main objectives set by the players in building Coach Butch Davis' program. (Winston-Salem Journal)
