Ol' Roy Out of The Outhouse




Roy Williams seems to be out of the shitter with Kansas fans...so to speak...or, literally.

From an AP news story today:

The large sketch of the former Kansas basketball coach was removed from the men's room of the Downtown Barbershop on Monday where it had hung as a symbol of fan anger since he departed for North Carolina in 2003.

Now "Ol' Roy" is back where he used to be, prominently displayed among the hundreds of sketches, photographs and memorabilia that make the landmark little shop near the campus a shrine to Jayhawks athletics. Instead of facing the urinal in the back of the building, the man who coached the Jayhawks to nine conference titles is facing customers out front..."The hatchet is buried," owner Jon Amyx said. "I think most people would tell you that now"...Amyx surveyed customers and ended Williams' exile to "the Roy Room," now just the men's room.


Now if Ol' Roy can just bring all those Tarheel fans in off the ledge after his Final Four fiasco(s).

Full story HERE.
