Hansbrough’s excessive brooding triples after leg injury Andy Katz reported on Friday that reigning National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough will miss at least two weeks with an injured shin. UNC head coach Roy Williams confirmed that Hansbrough’s bone scan showed a stress injury, but no sign of fracture. It’s unclear if the setback will cause The Great White Hope to miss any regular season games, as team doctors will re-evaluate the situation in two weeks. There is a distinct possibility that Texas and top-ranked North Carolina could meet in the championship game of the Maui Invitational on November 26th. And while the Longhorns are a top ten team according to both the Associated Press and the ESPN/USA Coaches Poll, the Tar Heels at full strength are without a doubt in another stratosphere. Williams’ team will be without lockdown defender Marcus Ginyard in Maui, so a recovering Hansbrough could give a little more hope to a bracket of challengers that also includes ninth-ranked Notre Dame. The Tar Heels open the season at 4 P.M. (EST) on November 15th against the Penn Quakers |

That Glamour Shots Photo shoot can be a rough one.

Well it’s finally here. This has nothing to do with Hansbrough, but I wanted to say how much I’m looking forward to another season of the Road Trip. Happy Trails, dude.
