Another case where Freeze ran his mouth to the press when he would have been a lot better off just keeping it shut. Just like when he jumped all over the "we're proud of Tunsil for defending his mom" ********. Why should he go out of his way to point out that Shepherd is partially deaf, and then tell this crazy story about how he had problems hearing on the road (but apparently, not at home). It was unnecessary, even if it had been true.

It all boils

down to him being a huge fraud. It's partly why he fits in so well in Oxford. Eventually it's going to catch up w him, and it'll be interesting when it does.

Yep. The thing that has surprised me is this is twice in the last 3 months now he's gone out of his way to publicly piss off someone who could expose some of those things. I knew he was a fraud. I didn't know he was so damn stupid.

Tee better call one call, that's all. Clearly an ADA violation for failure to accommodate.

Is Hugh Freeze even a Christian?

This is a complex and difficult question, with few easy answers. Of course most om fans will say he is, while fans of The Mississippi State University will say, "no". Of course, olmiss fans won't defend their coach, but attack Dan Mullen for not being the "right kind of Christian" or a non-christian....this is irrelevant. Hugh Freeze has put himself out there as Follower of the Way of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that parents of the children he plays can look up to and help give guidance during their four years of college.

As it is written in the Bible, let's look at his fruits:

-He does go on mission trips. Whether it's for show or for real, these trips DO help people. And, if someone is brought to the Lord because of this, then the trips are worth it.

-He does have a concern for the Lost.

So, in my judgement, I would say that he's a Follower of the Way. That said, I judge his faith to be a mile wide...and an inch deep. He seems to be too concerned by the ways of this world. He allows events to control him, rather than turning to prayer and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide him in his troubles.

His theology appears to be of the Joel Osteen-variety: Health-and-wealth proven by your faith, with the neo-pagan belief that if you follow some prayers and repeat scriptures, God is obligated to give you whatever you want....

GOD DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!!! The Lord God of Heaven, the Mightiest Being of the Universe, Creator and Judge of ALL, is not concerned with who wins or loses games. However, He does see how we will all react to both good and bad situations, including child's games played by 18-21 year old men.

Hugh Freeze gives glory to God whenever olemiss wins....but does he give glory when they lose? For any of us who've had bad things happen in our lives, we draw closer to the Lord after adversity hits us, NOT when things are all hunky-dory. For those of you in recovery, you know that God "never wastes a hurt", that "Accepting Hardships As a Pathway to Peace" (full prayer here).

Now there are conflicting stories about Memphis' win over upset-minded olemiss- one was that Hugh Freeze led his team off the field right after the game in a huff, the other one was where he shook hands with Justin Fuentes and congratulated Quarterback Paxton Lynch on his good game. Which story is correct? Nobody really knows...there's no pictures of either story being true (other than the majority of olemiss football players running off the field after the game).

I pray for Hugh Freeze to use this time of sifting to come out on the other side a stronger, more faithful Believer in Our Lord Jesus Christ, that he not give in to the Cheap Grace that is spoken of by anti-Nazi Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

[h=1]“Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession...Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”[/h]View attachment 2558

Never thought I'd see a picture of, much less a quote from, Bonhoeffer on SPS. This place surprises me weekly.

Freeze may be full of ****. He may not be. I won't begin to pass judgment on his soul. He currently lives in a spotlight & under a microscope, especially in the social media age, that most of us will never experience. That said, if you parlay & use faith to your advantage for success in a competitive industry & world, you better damn sure be consistent.

Freeze comes off as holier than thou, but shrinks when it comes to being the bigger man, leader, etc in the face of adversity. Yet, I've never experienced his occupation. His foibles are magnified. But, if you hang your hat on something for all the world to see, you can't pull that hat down over your eyes & hide when things get tough.

The fantastic & ironic justice is that Ole Miss could really use him now.

With Conner out the Ole Miss secondary has looked rough against Florida & Memphis---even more glaring against Memphis because Nkemdiche or "Kim-Dee-Chee" wasn't there to apply pressure. And now their secondary has to face A&M, they better hope that Nkemdiche gets cleared for this Saturday!

uh, there is a video showing all the players bolted to the locker room right after the final snap. Some went before the final snap. Now there is a picture of freeze congratulating the opposing qb. It's just a testament of his team. I have read that they are having troubles in the locker room. Don't know how much of that is true, maybe tee can shed some light on it. But with all the primadonna's, I'm surprised it took this long to start having trouble in the locker room. Freezus should absolutely praise god after a win but should also do so after a loss. I'm not a religious person myself but i do consider myself a spiritual person. I say a little prayer first thing when i wake up and every night before i go to bed and sometimes in between. I don't pray for anything other than just thanking god for everything he has given me and being grateful.

That video is hilarious. And says a lot about the character of their team. Also, this from USA Today says a lot about the character of their coach.

Here’s a story about Hugh Freeze. Back in 2009, he desperately wanted the Memphis job. He had just spent two years at Lambuth, an NAIA school, and was well-known in Memphis because of his background there as a high school coach. He had the backing of the media and some powerful people at <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/FedEx" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(182, 20, 0) !important;">FedEx</culink>. Instead, the school’s former athletic director chose an alum, <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Larry Porter" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(182, 20, 0) !important;">Larry Porter</culink>, who turned out to be one of the worst hires in recent memory.
Freeze went to Arkansas State as offensive coordinator in 2010 and then head coach the following year, and when he got a chance to play Memphis, he made sure to get his point across. As he settled into his news conference after beating the Tigers 47-3, Freeze asked one of his staff members: “Is the Memphis media coming?” The following week, he went on the radio and made sure everyone knew the score could have been worse had he not let up in the fourth quarter.

The game ends at 0:55. By 1:15, there's not a Rebel player in the stadium.

With all of UNM's recruiting "success," I think that manufactured perception is what will help add to the fire.

A lot of us were really angered by the ESPN coverage of 2013 signing day. But I never saw it that way.

I'm a little bit Catholic, and today is the Feast of St. Luke. So, I'll do a little quotin' from Luke 14:11. "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Even the folks at ESPN saw this as a fraudulent house, which was built on the backs of warped cards. We all know that the bigger they come, the harder they fall. And this house of cards was bound to fall. While Freeze and the boys were hamming up Signing Day 2013 like a tent revival, ESPN was probably egging them on. They were helping to inflate the balloon, that they know all along will pop.

When you, or I, fail, no one cares. When it is someone of notoriety, people are somewhat interested. Now add to that, a falling of a Jim Bakker, or Jimmy Swaggart, and the popcorn gets poppin'. ESPN wanted to make sure this street corner evangelist, had a mega-church, so the failure would be on a grander stage.

In my opinion, ESPN was blindly given permission to roll tape of hours of future schadenfreude material. And that gets ratings in spades...

Reminds me of how "Bad" Bo Wallace ran to the locker room after throwing his last INT against LSU last year before the game was over.

I don't understand why a defensive player would have a problem with crowd noise on the ROAD? The home crowd is supposed to keep the noise down when their offense is on the field. Seems like if noise bothered a defensive player, the biggest problem would be important third down plays AT HOME.

I had this same thought while watching the media circus back then. 100% agree, ESPN was getting b-roll footage for an upcoming 30 for 30.

To be fair, somebody likely told them to cut out of there because fans might be rushing the field. It is crazy to see them take off like a shot to the locker room. Breeland Speaks (#9) shook hands as he walked off, but he's just a redshirt freshman so he doesn't know any better yet.

I can understand them bolting for the locker room when a fan base that just beat your *** is about the hit the field....and did you notice that Hugh calling Paxton Lynch, Patrick in the presser? He is such a clueless fake
