To be fair the players getting in trouble have all been McDermott recruits

You know, fans who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. It hasn't been that long since two of our own frontcourt players, O'Rear and Jordan, got into some legal trouble of their own and had to miss some time.

It's been a lot longer since the incident mentioned in the OP.

But why does that matter? Is there a statute of limitations that wipes the slate clear after a year or something?

My point is their is at the very least a vocal minority of UNI fans for a little while now, particularly during basketball season, who have had a sanctimonious, "holier than thou" attitude about things like the OP topic, Cuonzo Martin celebrating after wins ("Coach Jake would NEVER do that! OMG, Martin is so classless! AAAAHHHHHH!") to George Mason being full of "thugs", all the while acting like the UNI athletic department is as pure as the driven snow. Remember that O'Rear was suspended for the Bradley game at the McLeod last season. It was never revealed why, but it happened. We're not perfect and should stop thinking of ourselves as such.

It's become quite tiresome.

Actually, throwing stones is crappy behavior. Noone should throw stones. My policy is no stone throwing regardless of housing situation.

One exception..if you are trapped in a glass house with a stone..then throw it.

Only people in glass houses should throw stones..provided that you are trapped with a stone.

First of all, I never defended Jordan or O'Rear's behavior. I criticized both for making silly mistakes. Also, I never said we were perfect or that people don't goof up on our team. But, don't try to compare Jordan or O'Rear's situations to Godfrey's. Big difference between an isolated incident like either Jordan and O'Rear's and Godfrey's latest incident which was at least his 4th or 5th "goof up."

In Godfrey, we see repeated "second chances" and no change in behavior.

Why are you engaging in exaggeration and falsehoods? Godfrey did not get 4 or 5 different chances that resulted in "goof ups". He was given a 3-game suspension during the season and after his arrest last weekend on the possession charges was summarily dismissed from the team. That is 2 incidents, not 4 or 5, and after his 2nd chance he was booted from the team.
