Lucas: Do Not Open

Posted Dec 19, 2008
To my children, Asher and McKay: Do not open this letter until the day someone breaks Tyler Hansbrough's UNC career scoring record. I didn't think you'd ever open this letter. On the day I wrote this, Dec. 18, 2008--yep, all the way back in the ancient `00's--I thought Hansbrough's UNC scoring record would stand forever. He'll pile up nearly 3,000 points by the time he's finished at Carolina, and I'm not sure anyone who can score like that will stay around long enough to top his total. (Tar Heel Blue)
