Tar Heels back in familiar bowl setting
Posted Dec 11, 2009
UNC matched last year's victory total with another eight-win regular season. It makes sense then that the Tar Heels are headed back to a familiar setting in the postseason. The trick now is to actually win that home-state bowl game. The Tar Heels earned a return trip to the Meineke Bowl in Charlotte to face No. 17 Pittsburgh on Dec. 26. It wasn't the destination some of the Tar Heels had in mind when they were entering the finale against North Carolina State.
