Not sure this excites me. Mack would give up his wife Sally if it meant beating us. Camping World CEO loves Texas-North Carolina bowl game
Ya know...with the season we've had, it's almost like we deserve something like this. I mean obviously a million times f**k no on this bowl matchup, and just for that reason this will probably happen.
Would like to see it. Mack would be gracious as ever and would love the chance. have no problem with it and Fedora would relish it as well
Frankly, I don't see why it would be a bad matchup for us. I haven't watched UNC all season or anything, but what I did see was rarely impressive, and never frightening.
Both true. The media would eat it up more than anything. It might also be good for Tom Herman to see Jay Bateman's defense up close and personal.
I like the Match up, it’s a game we can win and I am fond of Mack Brown. Haven’t watched UNC play all season.
Not possible unless all the Big XII and ACC bowls were to completely ignore their selection order. Yes, UT could theoretically play North Carolina or A&M in a bowl game. It will not be either this year. A&M is more realistic than North Carolina this year, but still highly unlikely. Bids to college bowl games - Wikipedia The Camping World Bowl takes Notre Dame or the ACC's best non-NY6 team. 6-6 UNC finished tied for 5th in the ACC, but lost to two of the teams it tied. UNC is not going to jump all of those teams and Notre Dame. Texas finished tied for 3rd with Okie State, Kansas State and Iowa State in the Big XII. Due to Kansas State and Okie State both beating Iowa State, I believe we win the tie breakers and will be the first selection after Baylor and Oklahoma. While we theoretically could get picked in any order after OU and Baylor, my guess is we will be the first picked and either end up in the Alamo Bowl if the OU/Baylor winner makes the playoff and loser makes the Sugar Bowl or the Camping World Bowl if the OU/Baylor winner makes the Sugar Bowl and the loser goes to the Alamo Bowl. It is possibly for us to drop below the Camping World Bowl, but I just do not see the Alamo or Camping World Bowl choosing Oklahoma State, Iowa State or Kansas State over us, plus, I believe we won the tie breakers anyway. In short a UNC-UT bowl isn't happening and neither is a Texas-Texas A&M bowl although it is more likely than UNC-UT. UNC is all coaching and no or freshman talent this year. If UT and UNC were to play, UT would win easily even if we were out-coached. If Herman were to actually lose that game, he should be fired on the spot. All that said, this is waste of time speculation as the game is not happening and is not even realistic. Every year we get terrible "UT-A&M in the Texas Bowl" speculation when it is is not realistic based on the team finishes. I guess we will get UNC-UT now as well. Everyone, learn you bowl selection orders!
NC went 6-6 and nearly pulled off an upset of Clemson (#1 at the time). They went for 2 to win it instead of kicking the extra point and lost 21-20. The rest of their games weren't all that impressive. But they will be up to play us.
Would protective eyewear be issued to the DB's that have to contend with those day-glo unis? That green they were wearing Saturday was HORRID!
