    i was the same! i read it late last night and completely believed it and then felt really bad for hating so much on roy this year (some of his quotes this year have taken away really any respect i had for him). i don't know if i am now happy that i get to go back to hating him or sad that that's one less respectable person in this world

    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.

    See, that's why I believed it. :(

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

    I even thought, "Wow, this must be what the UNC brass saw in this guy when they hired him. The powers that be at UNC must be really glad they are now going to get the coach they hoped for." I should know by now Ole Roy would never step to the plate. I still feel foolish for defending Roy thinking the media had distorted his quotes about Haiti.

    GO DUKE!

    When was this? I remember about 10 years ago cnnsi or sportingnews putting up a similar April Fool's joke on their front page that got me.

    You guys have a better understanding of Roy's character so it's natural you'd see through reports that he'd taken responsibility for this season.

    It was before Roy came back, about time Doherty imploded. First of all, they had the whole site Carolina blue, which should have tipped you off. And when you clicked on the link they posted, the whole background disappeared into a little message in the middle of screen that said "Happy April Fools Day". It was really funny, even for a Carolina fan.

    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.

    Not only did I believe every word of it, but I went on Inside Carolina looking for the Carolina Fan's reaction to it.

    As a Duke fan living in the area from that era, I remember it well... if UNC had not won it in 93, Tar Heel world may have come undone... Dean had to get a 2nd title to match K, Duke was the white knight/darling for having vanquished those thugs from UNLV, etc... UNC fans (a lot of my coworkers) felt as though all the oxygen/attention was 8 miles away. 1993 saved a lot of light blue folks from jumping off the top of the Dean Dome!

    Roy may be crazy, but I never figured him for real stupid.
