Partly Nonsense

Roy Williams has put a new spin on what family is-and that is his right. A couple of years ago he defined “family” as loyalty to his players. Now it’s his roots and the North Carolina family.

Things have changed.

It should be pointed out that Williams didn’t win a single game by himself. It was players who won the games. The returning players and next year’s freshmen are the ones who rightly have the most legitimate grip about Williams’ departure.

My life won’t change one bit with Roy at UNC. There are plenty of talented coaches out there who would like to leave their mark on KU’s basketball program. The only Jayhawk coach who wasn’t a winning coach was James Naismith, the inventor of the game.

Bring on the new coach-and watch for your Self. Good luck to the Tar Heels-except when they play the Jayhawks. And maybe Billy Packer will quit talking about North Carolina when KU plays on CBS.

You should always take the piece of cake nearest you on the platter unless that piece is too small.

If I responded to all of the offers on the Internet to make me younger and skinnier I’d weigh be 2 years old and weigh about 30 pounds.

A very smart person told me about the three words that encompass how the world works. The words are: good, fast, cheap.

Pick two of them and you can’t have the one that remains. In other words, it can be good and fast, but it won’t be cheap. It can be fast and cheap, but it won’t be good. And it can be good and cheap, but it won’t be fast.

Keep this in mind next time you need something custom-made for you.

I heard this one about people with memory problems….

Two couples got together often. One evening, while the women were in the kitchen and the men were watching TV, one of the men told the other he and his wife had eaten at a new restaurant recently and the food was really good.

Asked the name of it, the man couldn’t remember. A little later, the forgetter asked his friend, “What’s the name of a gem that is red?”

The friend said, “Garnett?”

The fogetter said, “No, but something like it.”

“Well, how about Ruby?”

The forgetter says: “That’s it!” Then he yells toward the kitchen: “Hey, Ruby! What was the name of that new restaurant we liked so well?”

I’ll miss not having Bob Getz’s column in the Wichita Eagle. I even made his column once because my birthday falls on the same day as Rush Limbaugh’s and Howard Stern’s.
