[QUOTE="CoalCity, post: 1299626, member: 588455"] I was living in KC at the time and they were totally losing their minds. They were so pissed that Self was going to replace him with"ugly Big 10 wrestling" basketball. I called one of the talk shows and said "in two years you'll be saying Roy Who? Self will be so much more open and much better to cover than Roy that the press will fall in love with him and he'll win too". Roy was pretty prickly with the press in the area and often affected a totally phony "Aw shucks" persona. Now they get Self, who could sell sand to an Arab and the rest is history. And we've been wandering in the desert ever since. Hopefully BU will lead us to the Promised Land. [/QUOTE]
