Roy who?

After we had been dating for almost two years, I went with Christoph back to Lawrence for a friend's graduation. As we settled into our seats on the plane, my husband (then boyfriend) started elbowing me and whisper-yelled, "Look! Look! It's Roy Williams!"

The legendary coach was headed down the aisle toward us when I said, "Who the hell is Roy Williams?"

Luckily, he didn't hear me.

And Christoph kept dating me even though I didn't recognize one of the most well-known men in the state of Kansas. (Full disclosure: This occurred several years before Williams took the head coaching job at UNC.)
