Tuesdays CFP rankings:

Wait you mean to tell me that an SEC team was overrated solely because of their conference? That has never happened before! Say goodbye to Florida too. Neither should be in the top 20 after this week.

Why is the storyline ‘Boy did TA&M really blow their chance!’ rather than ‘Why the fuck did the committee rank a team that’d already blown their chance over a team that hadn’t already blown their chance? And why are we surprised that the former team blew ANOTHER chance?’

Lots of people are saying the baby said it wanted to be strangled in a locker room. Believe me.

As if his hands could wrap all the way around a baby’s neck.

Trump supporter: “Well, maybe he did strangle a baby but......emails!”

My impariality, oh really? Not that I need to prove anything to you, but I have years of commenting history on this site that does more than enough to acquit me against charges of being a secret Trump supporter or for generally being someone who is suspicious about people who come forward about their rapes.

I hate to be a Skeptical Sally here, but death threats to whom and from where? This woman’s identity is still a secret. Katie Johnson is a pseudonym.

As someone whose had cause for using their services, I can attest that the Dean of Students office at UVA is full of really excellent people. The university’s resources for students in crisis are *excellent.*

There’s no way she should be held responsible for what happened with that story. It wasn’t her fault her source was suffering from PTSD from being gang raped and couldn’t remember aspects of the attack.

Academic dishonesty is handled by an entirely different adjudication process than sexual assault and other non-academic crimes or misbehaviors at U.Va.
