    Nice DBR, Nice...

    Reminds me of the year you posted the article of Jordan becoming new Carolina coach, and my dumb-a-s-s believed it for a half second.

    Nice one

    I've forwarded the link to several UNC acquaintances (not sure friend is the right word).

    Got me! I was wondering yesterday what today's article would be, but even so, I swallowed this one hook, line and sinker. I guess I really do just want to believe the best of people, even ol' Roy. My second thought, though, was that it was all a big recruiting ploy to increase his chances with Rivers.

    In any case, nice! I haven't done more than chuckle at one of these stories in quite a few years, but this one did it.

    Funny. Although I was hoping for something relating to unc, Butler and the 1924 national championship (such as each school will relinquish claim to it if the other wins its resepctive tournament).

    I read it on my commute this morning, and admit that I didn't even suspect it was a joke. I was actually impressed with Ol' Roy for a minute. I should have been a little suspicious and topeka'd the story. Live and learn I guess.

    You could tell it was fake because Roy didn't speak of himself in the third person. If y'all can change that, you may catch some West Coasters as they roll into the office.


    EDIT to add: Great job on the article, though -- very funny!

    It's because all of the quotes are what a completely normal person in this situation should say. Giving up the salary may be a stretch, but taking responsibility, poking fun at yourself for saying dumb things, etc should be expected.

    What's truly unbelievable is what a maroon Roy actually is.

    The best part would be if the article was picked up and people actually put pressure on Roy to do this.

    I would love that! Or if someone congratulated him after reading the article.


    He would announce it this way:

    "Roy Williams read this article about Roy Williams, " said Roy Williams. "And Roy Williams has decided to abide by what fake Roy Williams did."

    Very well done! In retrospect, I should have picked up on the fact that FWilliams spoke 20 sentences without using dadgum.

    I read through twice trying to find the April Fool's article for the year when I saw this thread. Can't believe I didn't see it for what it was.

    Kudos DBR.

    And let me tell you, when you attended UNC during the Laettner back to back era, as a Carolina fan you really had to stay in the closet about your Hurley admiration. I tell everyone, you dont know Duke hatred at its peak unless you were a Carolina undergrad during the Laettner era. If UNC hadnt won it all in 1993, I may have had to pack it all in.
