RE: Whaley arrested

[Brian Johnson]

Brad, I've got news for you.  The players on last
season's team had zero arrests.  The team's on-court
performance suffered in part due to the rightful
dismissal of Donald Little.  Cincinnati basketball has
made it to the top of C-USA in GPA.  Has any of this
cleaned up our so-called image problem?  NO!!

The image problem is sustained through uninformed
dolts - largely in media outlets, but mostly Xavier
fans ready to take cheap shots - who continue to
hammer UC's off-court shortcomings, which, in truth,
are no different than any other program.
