Wake played in the Orange Bowl, why not Carolina

Posted Jan 3, 2007

UNC will have as good a chance with a new head coach in Butch Davis as anyone to play in the Orange Bowl one day. Who knows, the Tar Heels may even realize Davis' dreams of playing for a national title. If West Virginia and Virginia Tech can play in that game, there is no reason in the world the Tar Heels cannot with a coach the caliber of Davis at the helm. (Tar Heel Daily)
