That doesn't surprise me. Bowles was transferring before this event took place (retaliation, especially something like 'you're betraying the team') would've been pointless. As I said earlier, this is no more than the lawyers' for the plaintiffs feeding the media as a strategy to force a settlement.
There was absolutely nothing new in this that hadn't already been alleged in their lawsuit by an unnamed and legally interested witness who claimed this happened along with the assault that Bowles denies happening. IOW, it's bullshite.
That said, these supposed "new" stories are designed to make UT conclude that settling rather than getting slandered in the press is the lesser of two evils. And TBH, early on I thought we should just pay up and be done with it because you can't "win" a case like this even when you win. Now, however, I'm like 'frick it, they've gone too far.' I don't know how UT's attorneys will see it but that's the way I feel.
Finally, plaintiffs attorneys are dirtier than an STD riddled male prostitute. I usually see lawyers in a neutral light (they're just doing their jobs same as anyone) but these folks are slime.

Even though it killing UT PR wise I'm a little glad UT is going to fight it. The whole file a quick lawsuit for settlement thing is complete BS. Frick our PR, everyone already hates us anyways

That's pretty damning, imo. Any time someone changes their story so drastically it raises a red flag.

exactly, the only fact we know for sure is that Drae Bowles is a liar

The rant use to be a good place to discuss the sec. Back in the day,
It's why I spend my time on other boards when I am posting, that place became impossible years ago. It's TMZ on crack.

I posted awhile back how this site is getting progressively shittier. It was hard to read with all the Ole Miss stuff and now this. I just can't be ok with trolling about rape. I am not offended, nor do I get offended by the words of strangers, just think it is decent to leave certain things off limits.
No matter the end result, an indelible mark has been made. I just hope that justice is the end result as I do in any of these matters. Football be damned, it is not more important than this stuff if true.
Anyway fellas, best of luck navigating the shite show.

I am pretty much done over there, I will stick to the other boards when I am posting. I know why Chicken gave the board it's own site, I wouldn't want that cesspool associated with my main site either.

Yes, and it is obvious that it is lightly moderated. I can't say I blame them. This site will still give me something to do while I am taking a shite, so that is a plus.

What is irritating about this situation is that everyone on ESPN and other media outlets is assuming all that has been reported is true. Which is not the case. We don't know for sure that those women were sexually assaulted. For all we know they are using this as a giant money grab. We don't know if Butch jones made that comment to Bowles. Bowles says he did butch says he didn't. None of it is proven fact and the fact that the media is destroying UT without all the information is irritating. If it is proven that those acts occurred then we need to clean house in the AD and if the victims were assaulted than their attackers should rot in prison.
