Despite loss, Tar Heels have reason to be optimistic

Posted Dec 28, 2008
It's easy to be critical of bowl games because there are far too many of them and far too much is made of them. Really, how special can it be if seemingly everybody with half a dozen wins is doing it? But then you get a game like the one North Carolina and West Virginia played Saturday in the Meineke Bowl and you don't want it to end. Played against a classic gloomy, gray backdrop that hid the Charlotte skyline, the game delivered what bowl games should deliver - a good time. (Raleigh News & Observer)
