PRINT THIS PAGE | E-MAIL THIS PAGE Friday, July 24, 1998 Longhorns, Tar Heels, agree to two-game series CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina will play Texas in a two-game football series in 2001 and 2002, UNC athletic officials said. Thursday's announcement came after discussions between the two schools on whether to postpone or cancel the games. The discussions began after former UNC coach Mack Brown resigned in December to become head coach at Texas. "The two schools considered postponing the games out of a concern that the games might have too much focus on the coaches, rather the institutions or the student-athletes," said UNC athletic director Dick Baddour. "However, we believe in the larger sense this series is good for both programs." The Longhorns will host the Tar Heels on Sept. 8, 2001. The Tar Heels will host Texas on Sept. 14, 2002.
