Having Fun With Bill Self's (Fake) Hair!

Bill Self wears a hairpiece and it is one of the biggest marvels in college basketball. It is remarkable. It is a piece of art, unlike anything the artificial hair world has ever known. The detail, the precision, the way the fake follicles embrace Self's bare scalp; it is all exceptional craftsmanship and nearly completely hidden to the naked eye. But I've seen it. I've seen it up close and personal, from no more than a foot away, and you have to believe me, world: Bill Self's hair is a lie. And if there is any chance that I am a bad judge of a good hair piece, my claim is supported by a Kansas booster, who confirmed to me that Self paid top dollar for a new, surgically-installed wig. So why does this matter, you ask? There are bald people everywhere, so who cares? It happens to the best of us, right? Well, yes. There is nothing funny about going bald. But when you're Bill Self and you are bald and you pay lots of money to not be bald and your Kansas Jayhawks are coming to Rupp Arena to play Kentucky, you're going to get made fun of on KentuckySportsRadio.com. That's just how it works around here. Sorry I'm not sorry. I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't tug on that rug. Now let's get to it with new wig options for Bill Self:   The Coach K... self-7 The Tom Crean... self-9 The John Calipari... self-11 The De'Aaron Fox... self-5 The Nerlens Noel... self-12 The 2000 Justin Timberlake... self-6 The Keith Urban... self-10 The "There's Something About Mary"... self-13 The Donald Trump... self-4 Beat Kansas.
