Hansbrough, Frasor Face Backlash Over Jumping Off Balcony at Frat Party

One of the buzzing stories around the internets are some photos of UNC players Tyler Hansbrough and Bobby Frasor jumping off a balcony and into a pool. The pictures were taken at a SAE frat house and show both Psycho T and Frasor (close friends) at a party, jumping off a building into a large, inflatable pool.

Right now, they are getting a lot of heat (and some love) over the stunt on message boards and blogs.

Yes, these kinds of things go on at colleges. Anyone who's been in college has seen or participated in some stupid stuff ... especially once the spring semester ends and everyone is looking forward to a summer off. These guys are student-athletes and they have the same academic pressures as the rest of the student body.

However, these two are in college because of their physical gifts. Seeing Frasor up there was puzzling. He missed most of the past season after tearing up his knee. If Ty Lawson stays in the NBA Draft, Frasor inherits this team and will be counted on heavily. Seems like jumping off a balcony and into a pool isn't the best way to rehab that injury.

As for Hansbrough, I'm sure it just adds to his "Psycho T" legend. However, it is dumb for the defending Player of the Year to spend the offseason leaping off stuff like that. Whether he will be successful in the NBA or not, some team will draft him and, in turn, pay him lots and lots of money. It's really scary that he would risk all of that for his "I am a golden god" moment.

Get off of the the back of these atheletes! Good god, man! Do you not have anything else to do wiht your time but go around and try toget these kids into trouble after all, they are college kids and it would be alright for you to do that on your own time especially since you don't play sports. I guess it is alright as long as they win a championship for your school or for you as a matter of fact. Get a lifeA

By the way, I can't spell check to gethese erors off of the screen - so I don't normally write this way

Everyone complaining needs to get some tolerance!!!! They are young, they are in college and they need to live. He wouldn't be the ball player he is if he didn't take chances.

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD! Who writes these stories? Ex duke alums? Get a friggin life. They have fun at Carolina. If you want to be bored, look at a picture of rat face and get brainwashed like all his basketball players. Do any of them have a sense of humor? No. You could be basketball player of the year like Reddick and go sit your ass on the bench in the NBA as a third stringer the rest of your life. and pout and cry....booo...hoooo!
