Tyler Hansbrough is a Golden God
College Basketball May 1st. 2008, 9:25am
Besides becoming the leading scorer in ACC history, the other reason Tyler Hansbrough stayed in school was to leap off of Sigma Alpha Epsilon balconies into pools. Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band … (oh, and if you’re all, ‘that’s not Hansbrough’ then look closely at the photo of Bobby Frasor leaping - that’s Hansbrough on the balcony in the same gray shirt)

No. He stayed in school because he’s not even guaranteed a 1st round pick, and he’d rather bask in the Laettner-like glow of NCAA before he goes on to a middling career in the pros.

I’m guessing that pool is all of 4 feet deep. Does his insurance policy kick in if he does something stupid like jumping off a frat house and breaking his neck?

That chick in the Bobby Fraser pic that’s all over TH looks like she could be pretty hot

@Hakeem - I think you’re crazy. All that you can tell from the picture is that she has some serious bingo wings. And that’s not a good start.

Greg Oden wishes he was there

@hakeem: i don’t know how you can see that. i think its probably safe to say hansborough pulls top notch talent unlike, say, Roger Clemens

@ASF: Bingo wings?
May 1st, 2008 at 9:44 am
Yeah…it’s a Clay Nation term, referring to the arm fat on girls (mainly prevalent on U of Fla co-eds. It’s when old ladies (with lots of arm fat) are playing bingo, and they win. As they wave their hands in the air, their arm fat flaps to and fro…hence, “bingo wings.”

Dear God, Hansbrough breaks something and UNC’s season is done next year and Frasor has a friggin’ FOOT INJURY AND AN ACL INJURY! what the hell is he doing?!?
Thanks TBL, I just shat myself.
But in unrelated sort of way, kinda makes Hansbrough cooler (but only b/c he didn’t break anything)

I’ve always just referred to that as Waterbeds.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:48 am
that is what i figured. i like that term though. that is a girls worst nightmare. i see one chick at the gym, and pretty much all she does is tricep exercises to prevent bingo wings.

Too bad she’s wasting her time. Spot reduction is impossible.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:52 am
I always just called them fat upper arms.

@Benji - I agree, it’s a good one. And Clay Travis is a good read, if you don’t read him already. He’s extremely southern-biased, so you might only be able to take him in small doses if you’re not from the south, but he’s pretty funny.

I saw a commercial for an above-ground pool. It was 30 seconds long. You know why? ‘Cuz that’s the maximum amount of time that you can depict yourself having fun in an above-ground pool.

Well written description of bingo wings, atlantasportsfan. Have you read his new book yet? I’ve read excerpts and it seems pretty good but don’t have it yet.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:59 am
God, I miss college…..
May 1st, 2008 at 10:00 am
Pictures like this make me wonder why I went to a small school. Blast.
Bingo wings is the 2nd best term I’ve learned on here, with Godzilla biscuits being the obvious best.

What I meant to add was, thank you to the great men who coin these terms.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:06 am
I like the crowd perspective of the photo… I can almost hear everybody around me saying ‘Bro! That’s &%$#&%^ insane, bro!’
May 1st, 2008 at 10:34 am
@Mizerle - I haven’t read it either. I actually just read his first one a few weeks ago.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:37 am
I still lived in the Triangle when Tyler first got to campus, I remember seeing him at bars (probably underage though he is old for age) wearing JHORTS!
May 1st, 2008 at 10:38 am
old for his grade
May 1st, 2008 at 10:42 am
ok…middling NBA career or not..it’s worth millions…I understand being young and stupid (hell I am getting old and stupider) but Tyler..dude…your going to risk millions to look cool to a beefy chick and frat boys…think man…think…I hope Roy Williams beats him with a glass Coke bottle for this one.

@robert. Hansborough is from Missouri where Jorts are a staple of the wardrobe.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:58 am
ok I have to ask. What is a “jort”.
and yes, “Godzilla Biscuits” is the all-time best term on TBL. Im sure Buzz would disagree.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:00 am
Jorts = Jean shORTS
May 1st, 2008 at 11:00 am
ACC refs call a foul on the pool - it didn’t establish its position before contact. 2 shots for Tyler.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:01 am
@atlanta
There are a few laugh out load passages in the DDT book. I still crack up whenever I hear a reference to LSU fans smelling like corn dogs.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:03 am
If you look closely you can see Greg Paulus flopping near the pool.

+100 to Nino. Solid.
While I don’t particularly care for Travel T, he is showing his college kid side. Nothing wrong with that. He isn’t a guaranteed lottery pick (would have been after a solid freshman year), but might stick around the league for a few years now. Better to enjoy the time in Chapel Hill (and that looks like a damn good time)!

HAHA!
