Brianna: 8th

Girls, have you ever had one of those days when you feel like you'll never find the right guy? And all you can think about is the most popular guy in school is the only one for you? When suddenly you realize the guy you were looking for was there all the time in the shadows of "Mr. Popular".  Well in a book I read called "When It Happens", one of the narrators, Sara, had this same experience with Dave, the popular guy, turning out to be nothing she hoped and then ended up secretly wondering if a guy she has hardly even spoken to was her "Mr. Right".  Through all the stress do you think she will make it through with the help of her two best friends, Lalia and Maggie?

            On the other side of this story, a guy named Tobey is secretly crushing on Sara, the other narrator, and will do anything to prove to her that he is her Mr. Right.  With his band members, Mike and Josh, do you think he will prove to Sara that he is right for her and turn out to be her secret crush? Well I'm not telling, you'll have to read "When it Happens" by Susane Colasanti.

Lately there has been a controversy about #1 ranked North Carolina's 6' 9" senior forward, Tyler Hansbrough. Apparently there seems to be an issue of whether  

Hansbrough should play every game, healthy or not, or not to play in the games at all. I first found this topic under a header called "Hansbrough- For Your Own Good, Play or Get Out" and I really disagreed on the point as I read...

"I began thinking Hansbrough was ducking certain teams/players or sitting out of "meaningless" games, or maybe that his coaches were really keeping him out of games where he might not be truly needed."

My honest opinion on this subject is that I know Tyler Hansbrough is a very determined player and I think "Rush the Court" put this in better words saying...

"If what we hear about Hansbrough's desire to play is true, that they basically have to tranquilize him and put him in a cage to keep him from playing..."

But I think the real reason behind this determination is Hansbrough wanting to break the three records he's close to achieving at Carolina. (Scoring the most points [9 away since Saturday's game against Oral Roberts and should be broken tonight], most rebounds, and winning the most ACC Player of the Year titles [3 already].) And another reason I think Hansbrough is not playing in certain games and is a last minute decision is because, for one example, when he didn't play in the first game at the Maui invational, was because on the plane his legs were cramped from the trip and it was last minute that he wouldn't play.
