Roy Williams is out of the outhouse. The large sketch of the former Kansas coach was removed from the men's room of the Downtown Barbershop on Monday where it had hung as a symbol of fan anger ever since he departed for North Carolina in 2003. Now "Ol' Roy" is back where he used to be, prominently displayed among the hundreds of sketches, photographs and memorabilia that make the landmark little shop near the Kansas campus a shrine to Jayhawks athletics. Instead of facing the urinal in the back of the building, the man who coached Kansas to nine conference championships is nestled between photographs of former Jayhawks greats Clyde Lovellette and Wilt Chamberlain. "The hatchet is buried," shop owner Jon Amyx said. "I think most people would tell you that now."

That picture seems to show the evolution of KU's mascot. I thought they didn't teach evolution in Kansas?

It's amazing what winning a championship will do. First Bill Buckner and now this. Poor Bartman will have to have his grandkids accept his forgiveness from Cubs fans.

This tedious emotional codependence between KU fans and Williams is a humiliating discredit to them both.

Two or three dozen coaches move from one school to another every year, with both the fans of the schools involved and the coaches getting on with their lives almost immediately. Why is it that Roy Williams and KU fans are still playing out this pitiful soap opera five years down the line?
