You're probably right. It's just very frustrating when you are so close to something big. Carolina has lost 3 games by a total of 7 points and we had the lead in the 4th qtr of all 3.After what I have seen from the Tar Heels in the post-Mack Brown years, if I were a Heel fan, I'd be ecstatic to go to the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl (I still call it by that name).
ANY bowl is a good start.
Besides, look at Pittsburgh; they have had a bad stretch of football, and Dave freaking Wannstedt could be on his way to the Orange Bowl.
