Ole Roy's Last Stand at Kansas


While writing the exact same story dozens of other reporters will write at some point this week, I thought it would be fun to remember the last time people were asking Roy Williams about whatever his "second-favorite college team" was at the time.


That, of course, was in an interview with CBS' Bonnie Bernstein after the 2003 national title game when he was asked if he would leave Kansas for North Carolina. Here's the YouTube link, though be sure to remember that Roy chose to use a word that wasn't "very nice" toward the end of the clip.


It still remains one of my favorite live television moments ever, not just for the cursing but for the hilarity of Williams calling out "the guy in your ear who told you you have to ask that question." And in retrospect, Ole Roy held up reasonably well given that he'd just fallen short --- again --- of the elusive national title he would collect two years later at North Carolina.
