Freeze brought The Network down almost single-handedly*

[AlmostPositive]

Despite lying and cheating like a Middle Eastern carpet merchant, OM was likely to more or less skate without the draft night fiasco.

And why did draft night go south so hard for Ole Miss? It happened because Freeze convinced Tunsil to shitcan his agent and go with Sexton, royally pissing off a guy who had full access to Tunsil's texts and military grade bong photos.

Freeze had already lied flagrantly about Lindsey Miller's fight with Tunsil, sending Miller straight to the NCAA as a prime whistle blower. If you're keeping score at home, add a dozen lost scholarships and half a bowl ban just as a result of Hugh shooting his mouth about this one event.

Freeze lies again about Nutt being the real culprit and refuses to apologize even after the recruiting class is salvaged. The immediate effect of this is a lawsuit and a freedom of information filing that leads directly to Rosebowl spotting the escort number, which of course Freeze lied about one more time.

Whether or not the phone records are the smoking gun to show OM paying for escorts, blood is in the water and the scrutiny will be intense.

Toss in Hugh's come-at-me-bro compliance tweet, his blowing up at NCAA enforcement staff, his 24-7 oily sanctimony and things are all set up for NCAA armageddon.

And Armageddon it will be. If they had played it perfectly. OM might have escaped with minor sanctions. As it is, losing Freeze is only the beginning of their woe.

Their best case scenario is horrible football for a decade with national laughing-stock status thrown in for free.


THE NCAA will gut them. Rebel friends, move on to the next stage of grief negotiation; denial hasn't been working for you


*No offense to Rosebowl, the most unlikely hero journalist in modern history. I hope he makes a quarter of a million dollars off Flim Flam sales, and then a half-million more on movie rights.
