Posted Dec 11, 2009
UNC will head to postseason play in Charlotte for second straight year with one of its top players pondering an early jump to the NFL. The Tar Heels resumed practice Thursday in preparation for their Dec. 26 matchup against Pittsburgh in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Played at Bank of America Stadium, home to the NFL's Carolina Panthers, the Meineke provided the setting last year for a memorable finale for UNC's junior receiver Hakeem Nicks.
