Look, you don't have to believe in omens and curses and jinxes.  But facts are facts.
Every time a coach named Wilson coached the Shrine Bowl game, North Carolina won the game.
It started in 1956. R. E. Wilson of Chester was one of the three South Carolina coaches.  North Carolina won, 20-13.
Then two years later, Coach S. S. Wilson of Winston-Salem was appointed to the North Carolina coaching staff.  North Carolina took that game 26-20.
In 1962, Raeford's Floyd Wilson coached for North Carolina.  And again North Carolina won, this time with a score of 14-7.
Shirley S. "Red" Wilson and Ralph "Jug" Wilson both coached the North Carolina team in 1966.  Red came from Fayetteville and Jug came from Glen Alpine.  Guess who won? North Carolina 34-14.
In 1969 R. E. "Ears" Wilson was one of the three South Carolina coaches.  Final Score: North Carolina 21, South Carolina 20.
And finally in 1974.  Coach Woody Wilson of Roanoke Rapids worked as a North Carolina coach, and South Carolina lost again, 38-12.
Think about it.  In all of the first 50 Shrine Bowl games where a man named Wilson coached either team, North Carolina won.
And in between those special years, South Carolina was busy winning games.  The coaches were all different people--seven of them.  Virtually one-third of all North Carolina wins were part of the Wilson blessing/curse.
Now, what were you saying about omens and curses and jinxes?
