CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Landon Turner has answered about 10 minutes of questions after practice when a reporter shyly interjects. She's working on an off-beat piece, she admits, so she cautions him in advance.
"This is kind of a strange question," she says.
Turner's smile grows wide and his eyes light up.
"That," he says, "is a good start."
Turner loves talking to people, and the quirkier the conversation the better. He's 6-foot-4 and 325 pounds and he sports an unkempt beard, but it's the smile that you notice. He's always smiling.
What's not to smile about, after all?
