Freshman Theo Pinson's broken foot wasn't the only news to come from UNC coach Roy Williams and his players meeting with the media Friday in advance of Saturday's game against Florida State. Turns out, junior J.P. Tokoto has a stuffed bear friend he calls Gerry whom he brought along to his portion of the press conference. Nothing like a few laughs to help a team reeling from injuries right now. (Yahoo! Sports)
