Carolina is heading back to the Sun Bowl. Or, as Coach Bill Dooley liked to call it, “the Fun Bowl.” He said the Sun Bowl provided as many activities and as much entertainment for his players as any postseason event. Plus, beating a good Texas Tech team on the first trip in 1972 made it even better. That victory finished an 11-1 season, one of the best in school history. (GoHeels.com)
