Bowl officials elated at 73,712 in attendance

Posted Dec 28, 2008
West Virginia football coach Bill Stewart spent four years as an assistant at North Carolina (1979 and 1985-87) and he's maintained friendships with some of his former colleagues. But Stewart said after West Virginia's one-point victory that he's seen enough of the Tar Heels for a while. “God help the rest of the ACC in the next few years,” Stewart said. “I told Dick Baddour and John Swofford to help get me some ACC games but I ain't playing (North Carolina).” (Charlotte Observer)
