Roy Williams: Urban cowboy
While we're reporting news of the weird from Chapel Hill, it's worth noting that UNC coach Roy Williams planned to attend Friday night's Keith Urban concert at the Smith Center. "Evidently, he's pretty doggone good," he said.
Williams isn't exactly a huge country-music fan, though he might listen to some country-Western or soul music (but no rap) on the car radio when driving. Actually, he heard a rumor Shania Twain would be coming and said that he might get to the Dome early. Rumor wasn't true, apparently.
Speaking of rumors, one's been out there about Williams having back surgery. He's getting treatments on a painful sciatic-nerve injury 2-3 times a day but no surgery. As long as he's able to "tee it up" by May 1, Williams will be happy.
