As we continue to come to terms with a planet that has Bill Self as a national championship coach — we fully expect to see the Official NCAA Title Toupee on sale soon — we turn our attention to the Jayhawks' newest fan: North Carolina coach Roy Williams.

Like many of you, we were taken aback by the shots of Williams with his Jayhawks shirt; it's difficult to imagine John Thompson III wearing a Buckeyes logo, regardless of Williams' past dalliances. We asked the quite vocal Pete Jayhawk — who sent us an email at 3:15 this morning mocking our Illini, the jerk — what he thought of seeing Williams in the stands.

I was kind of surprised to see it. My first reaction was to call him a phony or something, then I realized that maybe he isn't so full of shit after all and to cut the guy some slack. I think the UNC game Saturday was very cathartic in allowing me and a lot of other KU fans to finally just get over it and move on.

Then I thought of the reaction that the most idiotic of the Carolina message board fanbase would probably have to seeing Ol' Roy laughing and cheering on the Jayhawks...and I smiled.

We also asked Dan Kois, of New York Magazine's Vulture blog — and crazed Carolina guy — what he thought:

I didn't have a major problem with it. It's easy to be cool with shit like that when you're the one he left his family for. Given the ferocity with which Kansas played in totally destroying us, I would be in favor of anything Roy could do to ensure that next time we play them they don't hate us so much. God, it was like us facing Duke out there.

That sounds about right. We couldn't help but notice, by the way, that Bill Self wasn't exactly wearing a Chief Illiniwek headdress in the Tar Heels-Illini national title game three years ago ...

In Roy's defense, I'm betting that John Wooden and Dean Smith were probably rooting for Kansas too.

Could he have at least put the fucking sticker on straight, instead of just haphazardly plopping it on there?

I have to admit, I can't keep track of any of this shit at this point. This is getting more confusing than Lost.

No, this is going to be great! Total whore Bill Self, loudly demanding "security" this morning, goes to Stillwater. The shell-shocked Jayhawks offer a midsized nation's GDP to Ol' Roy, who realizes that loyalty can't buy him a solid-gold Jacuzzi, and the Tar Heels take a flier on the dessicated corpse of Larry Brown, who everyone knows will either leave or die before the Winter Olympics.

Stay in school, kids. Unless they issue you a W-2.

If Bill does wear a Chief Illiwinek headdress, does that replace the toupee, or is it worn atop the rug?

For what it's worth, my guess is that Ol' Roy had no intention of supporting KU in any other way than voice, but while meeting with a group of his former players and staff (of which there were at least a half dozen players and three or four coaches)he was accosted by a member of the Alumni Association and stickered. I say this because I have a box full of those stickers from the last KUAA party I went to...

I think NC fans should be more upset by that tie he was wearing. Thank God Joan Rivers isn't on the set with Digger and the boys. A hardy disapproval, no doubt.

Most likely scenario: you need the sticker to get into some suite he was hanging out in before the game.

He may not have been wearing the headdress, but Self - fresh off a loss to Bucknell - was telling everyone how he wasn't really surprised at how well Illinois was doing because he, you know, recruited all of the players.
