Media Taking Aim at UNC’s Bowl Game
Posted Dec 11, 2009
The thought that emerged from the Triangle’s sports media world concerning UNC’s bowl prospects was quite sensational. Apparently, when you combine a loss to N.C. State in the season finale with Gator Bowl Director Rick Catlett’s decision to bypass several other ACC teams in favor of Florida State, you eventually arrive at the notion that UNC fell from the lofty perch of the Chick-fil-A or Gator Bowls all the way down to the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
