I wonder if my Gerald ever graduated. He didn't play last year I don't think.

That can't be accurate. That would mean that Freeze lied to a recruit. Your numbers have to be wrong.

I'll go with they're accurate, since Ole Miss is no Vanderbilt.

Apparently Mississippi State graduates 0% of their SEC Rant posters.

Impossible. Even for Freezus.

There is really no reason for people not to graduate. Because they are at school in the summer, they only need to take 12 hours during the fall and spring. They also get 5 years to be in school.

For accuracy's sake, please stop using the term "football players" when referring to Ole Miss.

Maybe he just got the °(degree sign) confused with the %(percent sign) and was trying to say that it was a nice warm summer day.

I don't know. I am told that Freeze is a great communicator, so I doubt someone of his oratory capability could possibly mix something like that up. He must have said exactly what was quoted in the article. I am in awe of this fact and it makes me question my loyalty to the clearly inferior school in the state.

This is big news. Sure, that figure could be related solely to seniors on the 2012 roster, and the quote doesn't even attribute the figure to something Hugh Freeze said. The important thing is that Hugh Freeze might have said that, and he has now been exposed as the first person in history to interpret a statistic in a more favorable way than it could otherwise be interpreted.
