Posted Apr 20, 2011
Longtime North Carolina radio play-by-play announcer Woody Durham is retiring after four decades. Durham had been the “Voice of the Tar Heels” since September 1971. Durham had called more than 1,800 football and men’s basketball games. That included four NCAA men’s basketball championship victories - the 1982 and 1993 titles under Dean Smith as well as the 2005 and 2009 titles under Roy Williams. (ACC Sports Journal)
