UNC not considering self-imposed bowl ban

Posted Nov 21, 2011
On Monday, North Carolina coach Everett Withers used the word “hopefully” to describe his thoughts on the Tar Heels’ bowl status. As in: “Hopefully [we will] be going to four straight bowls,” Withers said. With six victories, the Tar Heels are bowl eligible. But Withers’ words – particularly his use of “hopefully” – caused some in the media corps to wonder whether UNC might turn down a bowl bid. (Raleigh News & Observer)
