Retirement of the day
Woody Durham, the legendary announcer for the University of North Carolina, announced his retirement this week. Durham, 69, called Tar Heel football and basketball games for the past 40 years. He was under contract until 2013 but decided to step down now after talking with his family. He said he has no health issues; it was just time to walk away.
