From 1971 to his retirement in 2011, Woody Durham was the “Voice
of the Tar Heels,” the radio play-by-play man for the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In this autobiography, Woody
takes the reader on a nostalgic stroll down memory lane—from his
descriptions of a sleepy Franklin Street in Chapel Hill and the
days of football legend ChooChoo Justice to the enormous changes in
college sports and how they are covered to his dozens of
behind-the-scenes stories about the coaches and players he worked
with during his tenure. An appendix offers Woody’s thoughts on
every football and basketball player he covered who has an honored
jersey at UNC. Adam Lucas grew up dreaming of becoming a Carolina
basketball player. A severe lack of both height and talent
curtailed that dream, but he discovered another way to get as close
as possible to the Tar Heels--writing about Carolina sports. He is
the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and Tar Heels Today and a
columnist on GoHeels.com. He is author of seven books about
Carolina basketball. Adam lives in Cary with his wife, Jennifer,
and four children. "Woody Durham is the epitome of a professional
broadcaster, who just so happened to also love the Tar Heels as
much as he did his craft. He prepared for each game as if it were
the national championship and spoke about each player and coach
with an enthusiasm that connected them to his listeners in a unique
way. Woody helped bring the Tar Heels to life for generations of
Carolina fans." Roy Williams
