The Observer asks 10 questions of Carolina Panthers right guard Garry Williams:
Q. You grew up in Louisville but went to Kentucky. Were you a Louisville or UK guy growing up?
I was both. Being that I went to Kentucky, I’m a Kentucky fan now.
Q. Have you been to Keeneland (horse track)?
Yeah, I’ve been there a couple times. It’s fun. Just go out there and watch the horse races and have fun with everybody.
Q. What’s nicer – Keeneland or Churchill Downs?
Churchill Downs because they put so much into Churchill Downs. It’s a great atmosphere, especially the Derby. If you ever get a chance to go, it’s a lot of fun. Everybody’s just enjoying the day.
Q. Do you know what’s on a Louisville Hot Brown?
You put me on the spot, I can’t remember. I haven’t had one in so long, I can’t remember. I like it. It’s like a sandwich with gravy or something? (Crumbled bacon and a white Cheddar sauce on top of a turkey and tomato open-face sandwich.)
Q. What was your favorite road trip in the SEC?
I would say Florida because Florida’s my favorite vacation spot.
Q. What’s your favorite road city in the NFL?
I’ve only been there once, but I’d love to go back. And that’s Arizona. It was nice out there.
Q. What did you think about Kentucky hiring Mark Stoops?
I think he’ll be a great coach for us. I think he’s going to help the program out, get us back to our winning ways. I think he’ll be a good fit.
Q. Will there be a Kentucky-Oklahoma game coming up soon?
There might be. That would get a lot of pub and a lot of fan base, so it would help out tremendously.
Q. Are you and Andre Neblett going for the biggest beard on the team?
Nah, he’s got me right now. I try to catch him. But every once in a while I trim mine up and his just grows at a rapid rate. So he’s got me.
Q. What’s the best compliment or worst insult you’ve gotten about it?
One time a patch here was all nappy and they started dogging me up. That’s probably the worst I’ve had. I don’t know any great compliments I’ve had about it.
