This Saturday Cameron took Lindsey to the football game (Georgia Tech vs UNC) and Lindsey decided to get some autographs, she tried to get the attention of a couple of the football players but with the game about to begin they really were not available, but as they made their way to their seats Cameron noticed the UNC men’s basketball team making their way into the stadium. Cameron pointed Lindsey in the direction of none other than Tyler Hansbrough. Since she is not a basketball fan or even a big UNC fan Lindsey didn't know who Tyler Hansbrough was, and just in case you are reading this and fall into the same category I will fill you in (I know tarheel fans will think it absurd and even blasphemous to not know this but here it is anyway).
According to Wikipedia:
He is a player for the North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team. He was a unanimous selection for the 2006, 2007, and 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference All Conference Team, 2006 ACC Freshman of the Year, and 2008 ACC Conference Player of the Year. In 2008, Hansbrough swept all major individual honors in men's college basketball. For a North Carolina men's player to have his jersey retired, he must win at least one of six national player of the year awards: the Associated Press, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Sporting News, the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award, and wait until his class has graduated. Since Hansbrough has won all six, and is returning for his senior season, he will have his number 50 retired when he graduates from North Carolina in 2009.
The short and sweet is that he arguably one of the best, if not The best college basketball players in the nation, and to UNC fans he is kind of a big deal.
Here is the photo of Lindsey in action, and this also seems like a good place to post some photos and memories from some of the other games this year.
