Be VERY CAREFUL clicking on that link if you are at work.
February 12th, 2016 at 1:43 PM ^
Yeah that's not a good thing to do.
February 12th, 2016 at 1:49 PM ^
if you want a clean version that bypasses twitter nonsense

Go click the link and scroll down just a little. Also, make sure your boss and HR Director are standing over your shoulder so you can show them.
February 12th, 2016 at 2:43 PM ^
I'm not at work... and I'm now curious.
February 12th, 2016 at 1:50 PM ^
The very first thing under the tweet is topless women when I click on it.
February 12th, 2016 at 2:10 PM ^
February 12th, 2016 at 2:13 PM ^
February 12th, 2016 at 3:39 PM ^
Nope, sorry. That was the only site there is.
Too bad, they were SPECTACULAR.
February 12th, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^

I didn't see anything bad from the link. Perhaps he changed it to the USA today link. If so, what was the old link, as i work for myself.
February 12th, 2016 at 5:07 PM ^
Chose not to....
February 12th, 2016 at 1:44 PM ^
Um, NSFW.
I clicked on it twice, just to be sure.

Folks who are at work may not want to click that link. For some reason the USA Today Sports twitter has a picture up right under the Vols story of some topless ladies. Personally Im more than ok with it. Your boss may not be.
February 12th, 2016 at 2:49 PM ^
Not anymore. Darn.
February 12th, 2016 at 1:47 PM ^
Don't click on that link!
For the love of God and all things holy do NOT click on that link!
Im begging you - PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK!
So naturally I clicked on the link.
Bewbs!!!!!!!
February 12th, 2016 at 1:52 PM ^
And hilarious too.
February 12th, 2016 at 3:43 PM ^
That's the first thing my kids do when they see a calculator. Advanced math class, and this is what you get.
Proud parenthood moment.

There are pix of Upton, Fox, and Kardashian.
February 12th, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
But that's just fine with me. Friday almost over, those boobs mark the start of my weekend. Thanks, OP!

It's a very comforting link. I find great comfort in bosoms.
February 12th, 2016 at 2:05 PM ^
Left satisfied.
February 12th, 2016 at 2:09 PM ^
Hopefully they don't check my browsing history here....
February 12th, 2016 at 4:10 PM ^
That's the beauty of it, it just says "USA today". All boobie pics should just say "USA today".
My work would think I am the most up-to-date-on-current-events person ever.
February 12th, 2016 at 2:14 PM ^
Or my double posts.
February 12th, 2016 at 2:12 PM ^
In case anyone didn't catch the link, here it is again - LINK
Like some, I did not get the image and my test (on my own laptop, mind you) went right to the story, so that's weird indeed.
Anyway...
Stories like these are moments where we've had some incidents on the blog in the past too, so I would remind everyone to please be civil in their replies in this thread as well. After all, my allergies are causing me to feel like shit right now and I left my Zyrtec at home - I am crabby about that.

It's a bad look by UT to try and shush this, to put it mildly. I can understand why they do it, to not attract negative publicity but I think all of us at Michigan can tell you how well keeping mum is gonna work. For non-M fans reading this, I sadly guarantee this has happened or will happen at your favorite school.
There's a quote by the Lady Vols coach in the article that I want to bring to light here as being symptomatic of the problem:
“We just travel in groups and do what you’re supposed to do,” Warlick said. “You just don’t travel late at night. Our kids feel extremely safe on our campus. Our campus is extremely safe, and I think kids got to be responsible and they’ve got to be smart. You don’t go out by yourself at night, I don’t care where you are.
I'm not trying to slam Coach Warlick - after all, she is right about all of this and, as a woman, I'm certain she wants campus sexual assualt to go away as much as anyone else, if not more. But on UT's campus, on our campus, and every other campus, there's another woman in the same social circles at the same parties who has less impulse control, who's "easier" and more sexually liberal and who's not a hard-working role model straight A student holding it down.
She doesn't deserve to be raped either.

I mean it is common sense and if I had a daughter I wouldn't tell her any different because of the reality she faces or blame any parent/authority figure that does. But the bottom line is that this is an unacceptable status quo and we should also be assigning even greater responsiblity to our sons, well, not assault women.
February 12th, 2016 at 9:09 PM ^
As far as I can tell, not a single one of the alleged victims was "traveling late at night" or "going out by herself." They aren't being jumped by strangers while walking across town, they're getting assaulted by people they know. The problem isn't whether you're safe on your way to the party, it's whether you're safe after you get there.
Baylor's official responses had this tone, too. It's as if the supposed adults don't even know what sexual assault is.
February 12th, 2016 at 3:02 PM ^
Or anywhere else for that matter. If it's true that Lewan threatened someone, I believe that he should be in jail, his talents be damned.

Thanks for the warning. I didn't click on the link. I will trust all of you.
