Kelvin Bryant and the curse of Badlanta

Posted Sep 18, 2013
Very little positive has happened for Carolina football in Atlanta since that day when Kelvin Bryant got hurt. In fact, I could go back to the Tar Heels’ last visit to Grant Field before Georgia Tech joined the ACC. Bill Dooley’s 1974 squad appeared to have the Yellowjackets beat, until punting to All-American Randy Rhino in the closing minutes. The resulting 29-28 defeat served as a pretext for the Bryant injury, and a rash of other ”insults in Old Gold.“ (WRAL Sports Fan)
