The SportSquee Glossary: Hansbrough Eyes


Hansbrough Eyes (n.)
def.- A condition in which one's eyes take on an overly intense or insane bearing

Usage- "Did you see the Hansbrough Eyes on Paul LoDuca when he was yelling at that ump?" or "Sure he'll take a few shifts off, but every once in a while Eric Staal gets major Hansbrough Eyes and there's nothing that will keep him from scoring a goal." or "So, then Toccara put on some Hansbrough Eyes and went after the Celebrity Fit Club panel like a tornado!"

Origin- NCAA superstar and SportSquee icon Tyler Hansbrough is not only a phenomenal basketball player, he constantly looks as if he just snorted ten lines of coke after eating a chocolate ice cream sundae with Adderall sprinkles, washed down with ten double espressos and an IV of Red Bull. Or like he hasn't eaten for weeks and the basketball is a well-seasoned pork chop. Or like he's a hard-up lacrosse player and the ball is a passed-out freshman. Or like when that chick went nuts on Paradise Hotel and shouted "You wanna MEET ME????!!!" You get the idea.

Famous cases of Hansbrough Eyes- Paul LoDuca, AJ Pierczynski, Donte' Stallworth, Patrick Crayton, Rod Brind'Amour, Dion Phaneuf, Toni Ferrari, Kirstie Alley

While I have not seen actual footage of that myself, I have to say, that's as evocative an example of Hansbrough Eyes as there ever could be.

Teka- I've never noticed! Good catch.

Schnookie- You have to see that footage. It's terrrrrifying.

WC- You get a cookie for that one. I never noticed the Gordie about him.

Tracy- Doan totally gets them. I can't believe I forgot him!

Ms. Conduct- Welcome to SportSquee!

Elise- Me too! Psycho T is like the Hannibal Lecter of College b-ball. He's the reason you watch and then you have nightmares.
