Poor Old Roy

“It was a wonderful crowd. Gosh. I'd like to play in front of a crowd like that in the Smith Center every night other than the frickin' Duke game."



Bless his heart; he just can't seem to find the players and/or the fans who share his enthusiasm for unc. Gosh darn frickin fans at the Dean Dome.

Ol Roy's bus needs new tires.

I thought the same thing when I read this a few minutes ago. If he really said this, it's amazing he'd insult the t*rh**l faithful like that. Of course, we insult them on multiple levels here on an hourly basis (or, in my case, even more frequently ).

I'm not sure his bus fleet is large enough to throw that many people under it/them.

I tried to find video last night, but the recording of the press conference on the Tar Heel site didn't include it. It was reported by Andrew Carter on Twitter last night. It turns out he wrote an article in the N&O about it published today.

Everyone coming up with reasons for the lost but it's plain and simple they out played us, especially the first half! Can't happen!

Then, in respone to Roy's "Frickin Duke game" tweet

Maybe y'all will rearrange the seating now? Move the students from in the upper deck to closer to the court!

I love our fans to death but it shouldn't take just a dunk or duke coming into town for y'all to be going crazy!!

If y'all didn't know Carolina is called the "wine and cheese crowd" I don't know about y'all but that's embarrassing!

I loved this comment on the article you linked, could be almost any poster here:

Mike Chandler · Statesville, North Carolina
Thin-skinned, petty, and self-absorbed, Ol' Roy cannot help but again take a swipe at his own fans and point out how the fans should be working harder to make Roy's million-dollar job easier for Ol' Roy Williams.

Home crowd not loud enough? Maybe UNC could go back to pumping in fake crowd noise over the PA in the Smith Center like they used to do. They seem to like "fake" over there on the Hill. Maybe the crowd has wised up that they have been sold a fake product over the years: hoops played by fake students who took fake classes to stay eligible, all played against a backdrop of fake crowd noise and a fake "Carolina Way." At Carolina, its all about keeping up appearances. To Seem Rather Than To Be.

UNC fans, wake up: You may love and respect your basketball coach, but he sure doesnt love or respect you. He will, however, accept your cash and donations. After all, its hard being Ol' Roy.

Hey, Brice, welcome to the "Foot in Mouth Tweet Club." You have some famous company in that club, of course!

Hey, Brice, welcome to the "Foot in Mouth Tweet Club." You have some famous company in that club, of course!

He's also part of the "Foot in Groin Club", compliments of Mr. Winslow. At least a recipient of it!

How did he put his foot in his mouth?

Those things seemed to flow pretty well from each other, and he's also right.

He misspelled wine.

Of course the fans aren't showing up for Roy. Roy has more passion in Roy's pinky than those fans do. Roy.

It was all over SportsCenter last night with video of his comments. Should be easy to find. SVP also did a segment on it.

Here is the ESPN print story which references it:

I thought the Dean Dome crowd laid low b/c they didn't want to get hit as Roy fired his BB gun into the crowd at opposing fans.

It's pretty much right at the start about 25 seconds in. Right after he rips his team for not showing up like Indiana did at the start.

Or thrown under his bus.

I've disliked all ACC expansion starting with FSU, but Sam Cassell's truth-telling helps make up for it.

I didn't realize his quote was after FSU's first-ever ACC hoops game; and per this 1993 article, his quote was actually "cheese and wine".

“This is like a cheese and wine crowd here” …

"Frickin'"...I didn't know that anyone - other than reality TV show "stars" - used that term.
