will never forget his microphone-less speech at a local sports stage while the coach at UC...referring to playing a back yard football game known as 'smear the queer' (growing up, and i'm older than Butchie, we called it 'kill the man') and him gleefully proclaiming he was never the queer...something just off about this guy. counting down the days until he's fired. just because.

We called this Smear the Queer when I was growing up too. I never knew it by any other name.
Odd though that he'd be happy to never be the queer. That's kind of the point of the entire game ... Who has the sack to pick up the ball and start running? To say you were never the queer is basically saying you're a pussy.

My point about what he said was how he said it with almost a disgust for gays. Must be a Cincy thing to call it kill the man, though. Lol

Nah, it was called both when I was growing up. There was never any rhyme or reason for why is what called Kill the Man one day and Smear the Queer the next.
But I agree with this.

Sweeping sex assault suit filed against University of Tennessee
Anita Wadhwani and Nate Rau,
6:03 p.m. CST February 9, 2016
Six women filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday claiming the University of Tennessee has created a student culture that enables sexual assaults by student-athletes, especially football players, and then uses an unusual, legalistic adjudication process that is biased against victims who step forward.
The lawsuit, filed by plaintiffs identified only as "Jane Does," accuses five Tennessee athletes of sexual assault. They are former basketball player Yemi Makanjuola, former football players A.J. Johnson, Michael Williams and Riyahd Jones and a current football player named as a "John Doe."
The lawsuit also details an incident involving a female student who says she was sexually assaulted by a nonathlete, who was named a John Doe. The alleged assault took place after attending a football team party at Vol Hall, a campus dorm where she was served drinks by former UT player Treyvon Paulk, the lawsuit says.
In making its case that the university enabled an environment of bad behavior and used a disciplinary system that favored the players, the lawsuit cited more than a dozen incidents involving football players that included underage drinking, sexual harassment, assault, armed robbery and sexual assaults that did not involve the Jane Doe plaintiffs. Some of the incidents cited have previously never been reported.
The plaintiffs say that UT violated the Title IX laws, which protect students from gender discrimination in federally funded education programs. UT created a hostile sexual environment for female students by showing “deliberate indifference and a clearly unreasonable response after a sexual assault that causes a student to endure additional harassment," according to the lawsuit.

Lawsuit: Tennessee player assaulted by teammates for helping rape victim
Nate Rau and Matt Slovin, [email protected]
3:32 p.m. EST February 10, 2016
University of Tennessee football players confronted and assaulted wide receiver Drae Bowles as retribution for helping a woman who said she was raped by then-Volunteer players A.J. Johnson and Mike Williams, according to a federal lawsuit filed in Nashville on Tuesday.
Bowles took the woman to a hospital on the night of the alleged rape in November 2014 and supported her decision to report the incident to authorities, according to the lawsuit.
While the woman, a student-athlete, was meeting with executive senior associate athletics director Jon Gilbert, senior associate athletics director Mike Ward and her coach, she received a message from her roommate "who was witnessing at that moment several football players jumping" Bowles, the lawsuit says. The woman informed the athletics officials of the incident and was told they would “look into it,” according to the suit. The lawsuit says "athletic coaches were present during that altercation."
Days later, the woman learned that Bowles was assaulted a second time at the team facility by the same players, the lawsuit says. She reported the second assault to university administrators as well.
