In all seriousness, do you feel we should hold Gators to a higher standard or should we let things slide ie lower the standard? Let bygones be bygones?

Having high standards and holding athletes accountable is not mutually exclusive of recognizing a positive achievement. They say it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get back up. For him to get up and rep Gator Nation, especially after being trashed so thoroughly (yes deservingly), takes some heart. So yes, he's earned some redemption in my book.

This is a good thing. He made good on a promise to his mother. I'm not sure why anyone would have an issue with this or want to nay say it. There is so little of this in today's society. Again, this is a good thing. Go Gators.

Dunlap was also the team's Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2015...but I guess because he drank in college and we lost a football game he's still a terrible person.

Good for you Carlos... because:
During the 2009 season he recorded 38 tackles and nine sacks and was a consensus first-team All-SEC selection.
He ended his career with 84 tackles 19.5 sacks and three blocked kicks.
I'd say he had a lot to do with us getting to the SEC Champ game.
No doubt we could have used him, but if you recall that game against Bammer (and how could you forget) -
Do you really think with him being in the lineup we would have won that game?
We may have slowed them down somewhat but overall - it was just their day.
During that draft pick - he said a 'Go Gators' ...did a Gator chomp and repped us pretty well.

Instead of applauding Dunlap for his efforts to get a college degree, some of the people here are still hellbent on taking out their misery on him for a loss that really could be pinned on any one of 20 guys. It's unfair, unjust and unreasonable.

Have you ever seen another pro athlete do that? Obviously it meant a lot to him to rep UF on stage. He could have repped the Bengals, but he chose to represent UF as well. Kudos to Carlos...and Jenkins. Put those diplomas framed on the wall.

Who called him a terrible person? I think some of you need to get a grip. Dunlap screwed up big time doing what he did. He came back and got his degree. That is awesome. Is no one supposed to mention that huge screw up? Almost everyone in here said good job on getting that diploma.
I swear some of you bitch about other posters just to bitch about other posters. You don't even read what's being posted. You see a name and automatically think its something bad when in reality it isn't.

You never answered my question on what I posted what was so miserable. You are still crying about misery and I asked you...what did I post that was so miserable.
