OK, Carolinians, listen up. A KU (or Illinois) fan has some earned-space to talk here, about being "jilted".
FORGET the broadcasters, the absolutely majority of KU fans wish Roy all the best. It's not about marriage, unless your girfriend or wife. It's about HOME. And We get it that Roy was GOING HOME. Kansans above all people understand "there's no place like home".
We are grateful to Roy, because as you say he is the greatest living coach. I've lived in Kentucky, and I adore North Carolina, and they would be my second emotional homes, Kansas first. You can still love Kentucky or NC as a place to be/live/work (like Roy loves Kansas) and still have your first love as your home.
So quit the overstretched "i'm offended crap".
Besides, I can tell you for a fact that KU fans almost to the last dog here root like mad for UNC whenever you face Duke. It's certainly not disloyal for Roy to root for us as his "second favorite home" and former team, when we do the same for you re: Duke and most of the rest of the country.
Roy, going home is not going back to the "former wife"
