In retrospect, this might not have been the smartest way to promote the program, the soon-to-be fired intern in the public relations department thought.

Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

I’m not going to say this was not a faux pas; but it is pretty clear they were not celebrating abusing women. This is twitter being twitter.

Right. Like that L.A. steakhouse some years back that ran with the logo: “We want to put our meat in your mouth!”….then couldn’t grasp the backlash from customers, particularly female.

I disagree. Writing “we don’t need your permission” there doesn’t seem to make any sense unless it’s alluding to the rape case.

I agree, MD. What were they intending with that motto? It’s stupid.

This is the same team that uses “Anchor Down” as a cheer/slogan.

Like a lot of thinks that get adopted, mottos, policies, procedures, etc., they sound good on first hearing even if they don’t mean anything. Nobody ever asks, “Is there a downside to this?”

I’m with the Mayor. I’m pretty sure they weren’t talking about rape, but I can’t figure out what the point of it was. Permission to do what? Win more than two games a year? As a battle cry, it makes about as much sense as “Shake vigorously before using.”

Why are you pretty sure they weren’t talking about rape?

MD, you may be right. I’ve thought about it all evening, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out in what other context it makes sense.

Honestly how does penn state and James Franklin look in the mirror each morning ….

Franklin looks at the commas in his bank statement as proof he is doing the right thing. The folks at Vandy just turn their nose up at the sports piece. I really doubt that either has done a moment of reflection about how awful that situation was.

“Sexual assault is not acceptable at Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt Athletics and Vanderbilt Football.”
Well, glad they’ve staked out a position. Bold of ’em, I’d say.

The Tallahassee PD and some at FSU think they’re going way too far though…

“Highly frowned upon” would likely make it into their statement. Along with “playing time of those so charged may or may not be affected.”

At FSU it should be in the student handbook. “You assume the risk of sexual assault by a football player and waive any criminal and civil recourse” by enrolling there. In Nashville at least the DA prosecutes the offender.

Jeez Senator, if you had challenged your readers to come up with a Vandy football slogan, I doubt the many witty commenters here could come up with something more derogatory to Vandy.
