After reading that article I'm concerned about two things.

1. Freeze really could be that dumb. A football savant perhaps.

2. He's going to throw his back out hurling the other coaches and administrators under the bus. Freeze is in full on Schultz mode here "I hear nothing, I see nothing, I know nothing!"

I still have no idea why any coach would tweet that, even if you believe you are running a clean program.

Les is a naive idiot. Freeze is more sinister than that.

Yeah lets pray for that. I mean I am sure God is concerned about Ole Miss athletics

So after three and a half years of investigation into how Ole Miss got that recruiting class in 2013 and they find Tunsil's mom's boy friend got $800 from a booster and couple of hotel rooms. The big question is where are all the 5 and 6 figure payments to LT or Treadwell or big Rob or Connor?


You forgot the loaner cars and I guess you didn't know but Tunsil himself admitted he got cash. It was on all the news stations.

Yep, not only should he know the rules from the recruiting test, but he had prior exposure to the NCAA infractions committee in 2006:

"The other violations reported by Ole Miss included tight ends coach Hugh Freeze, who at the time was director of football operations and did not have recruiting responsibilities. Freeze
participated in telephone calls with four Memphis-area prospects
between Oct. 30 and Nov. 13.

Among Ole Miss' self-imposed penalties was a two-week ban on
calling Memphis-area prospects.

"We felt like these were routine issues and we're going to
report secondary violations when we find them," said Wells.

"If there is a significant pattern that develops, the NCAA has the right to look at it as a major issue," Ole Miss athletic
director Pete Boone said. "But that's not what they've done here.
It's just one of those things you just always have to have your
antennas up."

Well obviously the prayers of Hugh Freeze's wife take precedence over small things like children dying from some horrible disease, war, and all those other meaningless things.

He asked where is the money for RN and Treadwell. 4 years of digging into Cannon Motors found 2 players who drove loaner cars around for too long being Tunsil and Hampton. All that money that we apparently paid Tunsil yet he needs help with a light bill. You can't have it both ways. The report that gives credence to OM paying players is 2/3rd made up of lodging and food and all the improper benefits combined doesn't even net 17k dollars.

Remember when Ole Miss "sources" leaked to friendly reporters right before Signing Day that all this stuff was pre-Freeze? That was ethical.

Was false, misleading, and intentional. LINK

Raise your hand if you were given/tweeted/reported bad info regarding Ole Miss’ old-staff/new-staff allegations. ???

I think he is using the word "cheating" as most people interprete it, not the literal, like calling a player 2 minutes late and that being labeled cheating because technically it is. Most people refer to cheating in college recruiting as in paying a player a large amount of money to come to your school. After 4 years of digging, no pay for play was found, which is what I assume he meant.

Based on certain videos, I'd say he blew the other cash on weed.

Good logic, since weed is so expensive.

Edit: and we are buying players and giving them free cars, but they have to pay for drugs. Wonderful logic

Here is my prediction with Hugh...

I think OM has another great year, likely in the running til the end for the SECw. May even win it this year.

The NCAA stuff will continue to hang heavily in the air, but will ultimately be a back-burner issue due to the winning.

Texas fires Strong at year's end and Texas hires coach Hugh Freeze as their new head coach.

Freeze heads to Texas as the NCAA hammer is falling on Ole Miss, similar to what Peter Carroll did to USC when he left.

This staff has a history of lying to cover tracks. They also lied to Anderson and Pennamon as well in stating that the infractions occurred under the previous staff.

It is actually pretty astounding that Freeze continues to double down on the religious deal to cover his lies.

A school giving players money is cheating. The loaner car stuff is different.
