Posted Jan 19, 2011
The first game between UNC and Clemson was January 15, 1926, a 50-20 Carolina victory. The Heels were led by All American Jack Cobb whose name you might recognize from the numberless jersey in the rafters at the Smith Center. Since that first game: The ACC was founded (1953). There have been six American wars. Carolina has won five NCAA titles. There have been 15 U.S. Presidents.
