Dayum ya'll!

Shea Patterson is so screwed.

He butt dialed a booty call

No buyout, no settlement per Bjork in presser.

"Are You Ready?"

Wait, wait.

But, but he's a GOOD Christian man!

BaHahahahaha!

I'm not upset that he called a hooker. I'm just amazed that so many people bought his "good Christian man" song and dance.

What a fraud.

Ain't no tub like a hot tub

They should take advantage of this crisis and immediately release the redacted names regardless of booster wishes.

Get it all out there Ross.

Reports are that Bo Bounds just peed his pantalones.

So, it took the Bears this long to finally find a way to chunk Freeze under the bus. Isn't going to help with their NCAA problem, or their Nutt :) problem.

Ladies and gentlemen:

The next president of the United States!

Using an employer issued phone to make this kind of call??

Shit man, go to Wal-Mart, get a throw away and call "the girls of many nations" until your minutes run out ????

It is Obama's fault.

"One call, that's all!" Ha! That's what those Bears get for trying to "bust a Nutt".

Shoulda got a burner!

The Damn Russians did it...

Are we talking about Hugh Freeze or Jerry Faldwell?

When will people in the public eye learn...you don't give your opponents a knife because they will gut you.

Kindly waiting for the gentleman who was so upset about the $2 million grant JSU got from MDHS to show up and whine about UM wasting $5 million of "his" tax dollars on Freeze's salary/escorts. Please let me know when he arrives. Bwahahahahaha! Bless.

A Nutt literally took him down

Who wants to bet this Killaburger story will make the "back page" of the Cryin' Liar tomorrow?

Thanks Houston.

Next question, does his use of a State issued phone to engage in, or arrange, and illegal encounter with a prostitute expose him to criminal liability? We'll see, no one beats a dead horse like Jim Hood.

Wait a minute...Freeze screws a hooker courtesy of a work phone and he has to resign...Nutt screws an entire team and gets a golden parachute?!?!!

Vitter has no choice but to clean house now. Bjork is done.

Another Happy Ending for Old Mess haters!

As an alumnus and firm supporter of Mississippi State University, I find no satisfaction in this...it's a sad, sad situation all the way around. Coach Freeze, like ALL the rest of us, is a flawed human; I'm not making excuses for him. I'm just stating a fact. I would hope that instead of making hurtful and insulting remarks about this mess, we ALL can just take a moment, leave the school rivalries aside, and pray for better times.

There is something about Bible-thumpers who engage escorts and hookers that seems, just, a little hypocritical.

Cue Dana Carvey as the SNL Church Lady...

Surely Archie Manning and Mike Glenn are shocked?

So when do we find out that these "escorts" were contacted for recruits? I'm betting the NCAA may want to continue its investigation along these lines. Would be interested to see phone records of assistant coaches to see whether they, too, have phoned escort services at times corresponding to recruiting activities. Yeah, let's start with Matt Luke's phone records.

Reminds me of a scene in MASH (the movie)

Hot Lips: [About Hawkeye] I wonder how such a degenerated person ever reached a position of authority in the Army Medical Corps.
Father Mulcahy: He was drafted.

All that work to cover up massive organized cheating, and in the end, it was chasing tail that got him.

Ah well. Live by the Beaver, die by the beaver, as they say.

Was it 1-800-Hotty-Toddy?

Ole Miss wasn't going to a blow anyway.
But, Wow! To lose that much money over some pun tang! Must have been some good stuff!

I always said Patterson was going to regret the day he passed on the cash in hand for the cash in the bush. Sorry Randy I told you so....

Never in a million years....I feel so....blindsided

How ironic that Big Mike was waived today by the Panthers. Could coaching be in his future?

Yall might want to discharge all toxic assets now (names, etc) before your future decisions are based solely on threats of true exposure.


The longer you drag this out, the worse it us for UM. UM can recover in due time after a clean slate.

Time for sone Sweet Shirley Brown - Lookin for the Poon Tang Man...you gotta laugh folks to keep from crying. Seems like every time we think Ole Miss football may just make it out of the cellar we pull a pistol out and shoot another toe off.

Allow me to address the absolutely shocked, sad and dismayed Christian folks that suggest Coach Freeze, an outspoken self proclaimed Christian man, and his apparently devastated family, should "be in our prayers" followed up with the whole "he who is not without sin...."thing: Where were you and what was your reaction to Jimmy Swaggart crying his eyes out on your TV screen. Where were you and what was your reaction when Jim and Tammy Faye Baker cried their eyes out on your TV screen. Were your "thoughts and prayers" really with Jimmy, Jim and Tammy Faye? The same kind of hucksters that defrauded millions of dollars from their followers as self proclaimed Christian people? Did your makeup stream down your face as you cried with Tammy Faye? Did you up your support for the PTL club? Or how about Jim Jones. Did you shed a tear for Ole Jim or did you shed many tears for his followers that drank the koolaid? So lets go back to this whole "he who is without sin cast the first stone" scripture. The problem with that is some of you want to know how far the stone can be thrown, at what accuracy, and at what cost because quite frankly, supposedly "everybody does it". You reap what you sow, and tonight some have a plateful. Rightfully so. I can only hope that (Former) Coach Hugh Freeze didn't fall on the sword to protect the University. That would be beyond tragic.

The real question is,will Canada and LSU take him back ?

Y'all didn't believe O he tried to do it the right way. Now he just got a 2 year extension because he is going to do it the right way.

"RISE UP!," proclaimed Rev. Freeze.

How long before Ole Miss has to vacate that bowl "win" against my alma mater? Cheaters! Whore mongers!
It's back to the basement of the SEC for you.

The night they drove ole Dixie down....and al the cowbells were ringing!!!

To our Red and Blue friends - It's not so much that we enjoy your misery. When you got that first amazing class while you had a bad team and an unproven coach fans all over America said 'they cheated'. A LOT of Red and Blue fans wanted to believe they didn't cheat. For us MSU fans, if they can get a class like that for no other reason than 'Hugh is such a fine Christian man and Ole Miss is such a fine institution' then we are screwed. We can't compete with the BEST players in the nation at four positions. But if they cheated, they will keep cheating and eventually get caught. Part of that cheating was Freeze is either a fine, honest, Christian, or a lair and cheat. Which is it? So it's not just gloating, we are relieved to know for certain that you weren't that good. We suspected it all along, but proof is better.

At least he was not caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Did the FOIA request ask for phone records for Jan. 19? Nutt's complaint alleged the misrepresentations occurred from Jan. 21-31, and Bjork said they only released records for 6 days. Why the 19th?

I'm confused. Were the hookers for Freeze's personal pleasure or was he brokering hookers to student players as another recruiting enticement? Or both?

Tilme to hang the Confederate Flag upside down to show they are in distress

Outside our borders, the rest of the country just sees the word "Mississippi" in these stories and assumes it another example of hypocrisy, corruption, and stupidity in our State.
And, they don't understand why we enjoy airing our "dirty laundry". It makes the whole " family" suspect.
Of course, the gossips ( or " haters" as they are now known) everywhere will enjoy repeating this as another example of what a bunch of ignorant low lifes we all are.

HYDR! Hotty Totty my ass ! Go Bears! It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

For the JSU faithful alumnus (that means just one from a group of alumni), fear not, for I am with you. But, first, here's your post: "Kindly waiting for the gentleman who was so upset about the $2 million grant JSU got from MDHS to show up and whine about UM wasting $5 million of "his" tax dollars on Freeze's salary/escorts. Please let me know when he arrives. Bwahahahahaha! Bless."

The difference is this. JSU is benefitting in a huge way from taxpayer funds ripped off through a bogus grant crafted to enrich the school (Where did you get the 2 million figure unless you're employed there?). And the debacle (plus salaries) up at That School Up North is being funded by Athletics Department funds that are held in an account of millions of SEC generated dollars, not my tax dollars. However, my tax money DOES kick in every time JSU fires a president, coach or department head and we have to rent U-Hauls.

Do you see how this stuff works now? Are you about ready to provide a link to this JSU ripoff grant enrichment? Thought not. Blessed indeed.

Both men were wrong and both lost their jobs over it, so that's not the issue. Who committed the worse sin, Bobby Petrino or Hugh Freeze? Many will contend that paying for it is worse than having a girlfriend, but not me. The hookers leave when you're done.

Freeze should've waited until he was in the US Senate to call escort services--not nearly the same kind of fallout.

6:53 Freeze is clearly worse. Not because of how he got girls but because he hides behind being an outstanding Christian. In the south, where most people are Christians, we know that Christians are not perfect. Like everyone is not perfect. It's the crowing about your Christianity, the false pride, while being such a sleaze ball.
I guess we don't know if the girls were for Freeze or for recruits or both. Early reports seem to indicate they were for HF. And it's only logical that the head coach would have an underling to get girls for recruits.

"The Ole Miss Family is shocked and disappointed" says Bjork and Vitter. Bullshit.
They figured the time was ripe to pull the plug on the Freeze mafia without having to pay this crook all that money. Blame the revelation on one of the myriad lawsuits and get him the hell out of here. Save the money, Freeze was dead meat anyway. It was fun while it lasted but you can't fool the world forever.

LSU would take Shea but without his brother. He already burned that bridge.

I can't wait for the hookers to start doing press conferences with their attorneys asking for money. It's going to get real sporty around here! I think Monday will be a nice reveal day. My prediction: at least 3 hookers, two attorneys, 6-7 news cameras.

Good point, 7:32. Everyone knew Petrino was a jerk up front.

@6:32. There you are!
Nope. I do not work for JSU. But maybe one day I will and you can pay me. The thought titillates me in ways you can only imagine.
Yeah, I know the majority of the salary that the right Reverend Coach Freeze made was from sources other than state monies. I just wanted to see if you'd bite. And you did. See how that works? Stay mad about all things HBCU while accepting all other madness with open arms - we don't care. Bless!

Did Nutt's attorney also obtain Freeze's UM-issued credit card "expense" charges? How did he pay his ladies (or men) of the night?

I think the #1 lesson we can all glean from this is that anytime a public figure is described as a bible-quoting, god fearin' family man, he is screwing hookers.

The second lesson to learn is that the chickens always come home to roost. And it couldn't have happened to a more smug, self-righteous, egotistical, my-shit-doesn't-stink group of self-important assholes.

Everyone is assuming the hookers/escorts were for the coach.

KF do you have proof otherwise?

What I find remarkable is that no one else knew a thing about this. Obviously, if they did, they would be gone also. If this was done for the players, they also did a remarkable job of not disclosing anything. I remember as a teenager, or slightly older, the topic of conversation among males virtually always revolved around females and activities with females.

At this point, Ole Miss had better be paying Hugh plenty of cash to keep quiet on why he really called in hooker(s). It's in his and his family's best interest for it to be for recruits. Although that is terrible it is not as terrible as the alternative.

Ole Miss' best interest would be that Hugh is just channeling his inner Bill Clinton and it has nothing to do with recruits. The NCAA penalty matrix is already blown out of the water with current allegations. Short of the DP, there is absolutely no way for them to apply punishment per the matrix based just on current allegations. If this comes down who knows what they will do with it...

KINGFISH: The Ole Miss administration WANTS you to believe the hooker/escorts were for the coach. The real problem is, what does the NCAA believe? If they start a new investigation, and they should, Freeze will be joined by a whole bunch of co-conspirators. In high places. The overnight investigation and resignation following these "revelations" do not pass the smell test. If getting rid of Freeze, but saving buyout and/or salary money at the expense of huge embarrassment is the grand result, UM gets a bargain. That's what they hope. I think not. Ole Miss needs to start looking for a new coach, AD, and president. This will not end with Freeze.

KF -- God knows I may be giving too much credit here, but I have to believe --even after all that's been revealed here-- that Freeze is not stupid enough to personally line up hookers for recruits using his state-issued cell phone.

Surely, if hookers for recruits were the plan, you would have a bag man with a burner phone doing the dirty work. Right?

At this point, I'm fine with being terrible for a few years. Just someone please tell me he wasn't this apocalyptically stupid.

@KF assuming Bjork's words were true(and that's suspect at best) he stated this does not involve the NCAA, which leads to personal use. There will be more to come, stay tuned. #jimmyswaggertofthegridiron

BREAKING NEWS. . .The University of Mississippi makes "MAJOR Investment" in the burner phone industry for its athletic department.

Someone made a good point upthread that it wouldn't fall to the head coach to do "admin work" like buying sex for recruits. There would be an underling to assume that risk.

I too can't wait for the parade of hookers when they start talking! Their ship just came in.

Aww guys - haven't we told y'all? It's just like speeding - everyone does it. I'm sure your coach is dialing up the hookers before the flight home to their loving wife and kids too.

8:51, while I agree with lesson #1, it is not always hookers but you can bet those bible-quoting god fearing family men, if not screwing hookers are screwing someone, and most of the time it is both!

Second lesson spot on.

KF has it, the best case for the Beav would be those hookers were for his, while having to spend the next year under house arrest with his wife.

I am guessing those call girls were for recruits. Half the state is Perry Masoning the pieces of that puzzle complete by Monday.

Willing to bet the Rebel nation feels the icy cold freeze of death breathing on their necks, July heat be damned!

It is after 11 and Friday, I think a bourbon is in order.

The head coach doesn't use a state issued cell phone to line up hookers for recruits right? He uses it to line up his personal hookers. That makes sense right? No one will ever suspect. No one had any idea he was doing this kind of stuff. After all, he is a fine upstanding Southern Christian leader of young men. He really mislead and befuddled the whole Ole Miss administration all these years.
We are shocked and appalled. Boy howdy!

Item: I have twenty acres of prime real estate in the resort region formerly known as the Florida Everglades for sale. Real reasonable. Serious offers only.

All I'm saying is that all we know is he called an escort service in Tampa. That's it. We don't know who actually received the benefit of the services. When you don't know, you don't know.

If some of these activities involved 17 year old recruits, we may have additional "criminal charges." By the way, don't these recruits have escorts when on official visits to make sure there is nothing impermissible going on from alumni. If other coaches or school personnel had knowledge of these activities, good bye. These acts had better have been for his own pleasure or we are facing "death" penalty like punishment.

Latest reports are that the purchases were for his personal consumption, not recruits. It shows his true character anddestroys any iota of credibility he might have had on the other issues. My concern is for his wife and three daughters who will have to bear the stigma of what there father did.

Attn 9:51, At Ole Miss we do not have a president, we have a Chancellor.

Sad day for his family. Classless posts by some folks.

12:59
Not for long.

as OlecMiss is all about diversity these days. It is time for their next coach to be black. A graduate from a SWAC conference that can relate to the greater number of recruits. State was successful with Croom and he was from Bama. Southern Miss is the champion of diversity. They have had a woman and now a black..
Ole Miss talks good but let's see what they can do when they can know show real progressive behavior.

The only conclusion is they were drunk with power. As I said before, too many high end attorneys in Mississippi will soon have their names shown for the world to see and this will be on the same scale as the Ashley Madison Scandal

Ole Miss needs to clean house entirely. Vitter and Bjork need to hit the road. An "in crowd booster" told me about Freeze and the hookers last YEAR and it was fairly common knowledge among the higher ups. He and his wife lived a charade marriage and Freeze's best girlfriend hung around his office in front of everybody. He is guilty of rank hypocrisy and they need to run his ass out of Lafayette County and never let him darken the door again. I am OM class of '68 and I am sick of the school selling its soul and pride just to have a good football team. Give me an honorable man with class and dignity and let him run the team. The record is what it is. I am tired of having to bathe with lye soap when I read an article about my alma mater!!!!!! Freeze, Vitter, and Bjork have demented my school. Adios, MFers, and good riddance. To bad rubbish.

1:31 State grad here. I like Croom as a person. He's a fantastic person.
To say he had successful at MSU is not true.
Wouldn't it be best to do like MLK said years ago
- We don't care what color you are. Are you a good person and can you do the job?
(He used more flowery words, but that's what he was saying)

How do you think we can get a decent coach (character wise) after the way we discarded Cutcliffe after we didn't need him because Eli graduated. Nutt should have figured this place out when he made the trip to Ole Miss in Scruggs' jet, and it was confiscated by the fed. This sense of superiority is sickening. We probably do lead the nation in most convicted law school graduates. Signed Disgruntled

Until the NFL has to pay for a farm team system like MLB these stories will keep on coming. The money involved in DIV I football is like heroin to the junkie. The whole university charade around DIV I ball is a pox on all our houses. A farm team will allow theses kids to be paid a salary, and move up and down the system based on talent and team requirements. The universities could get back to doing what they do best...turning out a bunch liberals until they get their first real job and the tax man cometh.

I have no idea how Hugh Freeze ever even got the Ole Miss job. Who are his coaching mentors? Really who the heck did he legit learn football from?

He looks like a weirdo. I never met him, but he sure does act like a weirdo. I once read an article that he told his wife years ago that he would be an SEC head football coach. What normal person says that? Then he put up this act that he was some amazing person like he followed the Golden Rule better than anyone else. Bit of advice Ole Miss, genuinely really nice people don't brag about being really nice.

If Freeze was some amazing person wouldn't he have been teaching/coaching high school at some inner city Title I school instead of a private school?

I wouldn't even put Freeze in the Top 5, heck 10 of best coaches in Mississippi the last several years. With Mullen, Monken, Mumme, DuBose, Fedora, Hopson, and a slew of assistants, Freeze looks like crap.

Nutt got him out. He should probably thank Nutt for offering a scholarship to the older Nkemdiche, because if it wasn't for that who knows if Ole Miss would have ever pulled in the recruits that they did.

I'd just like to say said... that was so beautiful that made me cry.

Unless something has very dramatically changed at Ole Miss there is no way football players would ever need hookers (that comes 30 years and about 100 pounds later). The hookers would be for the coach, or EVEN WORSE, they could be for other "influential" people.

6:12 you are absolutely Correct! It seems the gals today are much more "chubbier" than 30 years ago! Damn it's sad. Women were hotter back then and were more proud of their appearance! Gotta say the gal on Wapt in the morning who is an OM grad carries her weight well

Coach Mullens owns this state now!! Hail State!!!

this is the ultimate soap opera for the chicken manure beautiful people of the SEC. ENJOY YOUSELVES.

All of this fighting with each other over kids/people who would never be invited to a single house owned by the landed gentry waging this war.

This is the ultimate in absurdity....for a state drowning in debt and lacking in a future.....this is where precious resources are expended.

A glance at history tells us that things don't end well from here.

I read through all the posts with full assurance that eventually some turd would emerge and misspell Dan Mullen's name. And sure as shootin'....

And, as to Croom, he was indeed successful. He is the first coach in memory who sent miscreants packing regardless of the number of stars some booster said adorned their crown. He set for us a bar, proving that that should and could be done.

Scuttlebutt says the UM coaches are not limited to using the pay phone in the hallway.

There are no doubt many good Christians; however, when one trots out the phrase, "but I'm a Christian" just a little too much, just know that crooks use this as an impetus to excuse their crooked actions instead of actually being beholden to some higher moral code.

They figure they can do whatever the hell they want because their sins, past, present, and future, have been forgiven by the idea that Jesus died on the cross and they are therefore absolved from any responsibility. I see it all the time, and sadly, it works.
