It's Orange Bowl Week For UNC

Posted Dec 27, 2020
For the first time in 71 years, North Carolina enters game week for a major bowl. The No. 13 Tar Heels face No. 5 Texas A&M on Saturday, seven decades after the last time UNC was in such a game, in which it lost to Rice in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 1950. That was Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice’s last game at UNC, so this is a big deal for the program. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
