Lucas: One Day In Poplar Bluff

Posted Nov 28, 2007

Tyler Hansbrough has a sense of humor that's drier than a Poplar Bluff summer. His delivery makes it work, because there's no hint of a smile until you're already wondering if he's joking or not. "I'm here for my sign," he deadpans. He gives a nod towards the wall that has his likeness on the other side. He appears ready to load it into his truck and move onto his next errand, perhaps scaling a mountain to meet with Zeus. (Tar Heel Blue)
