Hansbrough versus Tebow

Now a lot of us sports fans watched some fun games this past weekend. The national championship in college football and a regular season college basketball game with two top four teams playing against each other. Both obviously had a lot on the line, one a little more than the other, but with UNC starting out with one loss and no wins coming into the Wake Forest game, it was crucial that the tar heels don't start out 0-2. Obviously, this game was pretty crucial as well. Another thing that sports fans watched, and my guess is that if you aren't a Tebow or Hansbrough fan you were sick of hearing about this, but ESPN did quite a job on comparing these two national players of the year in their respective sport. It was all very interesting and fun, especially because I am a HUGE fan of both, but I don't think you can compare the physical aspects of these two players. When it comes down to greatness, your mentality sets you apart.
So here is my opinion...and well I don't care if you don't care! HAHA! Plus, the reason I am writing this is because I got so mad last night watching Hansbrough crumble in the face of pressure. I felt like our team had just stepped off the court in San Antonio after playing Kansas and brought the same intensity into Wake Forest. When I watched Tebow put on a show in person, and yep I am bragging that I saw it in person, and after the debacle of the Tar Heels last night against Wake, there is one main difference between the both of them. Both are obviously amazing players, both have an amazing passion for their sport, both are rather large, and both can take over a game and help their team to a victory if they so choose. The difference is this, Hansbrough doesn't have the leadership that Tebow displayed in the National Championship nor the right mentality to take over a game when his team is struggling(he can take over a game obviously, but I have yet to see him do it when we are completely down like last night). I watched Hansbrough let his team fall, I saw the passion slip from his face, I watched as Danny Green and Deon Thompson were yelling in disagreement, and Tyler did nothing. I watched a lower classman take over for the deacons and I watched all of our upper classmen watch him do it. As you sports fans have most likely heard that the Tar Heels could beat a few NBA teams and our second team could be in the top 20, we sure aren't proving it. It's just disappointing to see someone like Tyler let his team fall so hard when he has such a great opportunity to be a great leader. That's the difference between Tebow and Hansbrough; both are great players, and again, I LOVE them both, but Tebow decided to be that leader that the team needed. I sure hope Tyler steps up because I would hate for someone like Hansbrough to leave without a championship. Plus it would make Robert sooo happy!!
So call me lame for writing this, but I really want a national championship and I needed to vent!

National Champs! Go Gators!

Robert and I in NYC!

New Year's Party!!
