The voice of the Tar Heels, Woody Durham, lives with a painful silence

Posted Mar 9, 2017
Woody Durham's final football game was Dec. 30, 2010, the Music City Bowl remembered for its ending. Casey Barth’s 23-yard field goal beat Tennessee in double overtime. Woody captured the moment with his usual elegance: “Snap, spot, kick. Good! Carolina wins!” And then his next eight words – “The Tar Heels win, the Music City...Bowl...” – provided a subtle clue of the eroding connections in his brain. (Raleigh News & Observer)
