Bear spin - already circulating on Facebook what a gracious loser Freeze is
Wish it would let me screenshot, but a few Bear fans on my news feed sharing a post from Matt Stark FOX13 (station in Memphis):
I was there for a nice postgame moment between Memphis Tigers QB Paxton Lynch and Ole Miss Football head coach Hugh Freeze today following the Tigers upset win.
The field was a madhouse after the Clock hit Zero. Fans and players were everywhere. It was chaos.
Following the postgame handshake with Tigers head coach Justin Fuente, Coach Freeze started to leave the field. He suddenly reversed course with some haste-- based on his quick reaction, I thought he was running to break up a fight.
Instead, he went up to Paxton and spoke to him for a few moments. That's me crashing the party in the picture.
I asked Paxton after the game what Coach Freeze told him- I'll paraphrase-- but it was something along the lines of how he complimented Paxton on a terrific game, told him he was a great player, and he wished him well for the rest of the year.
That said something to me about the kind of man Coach Freeze is. He just got beaten down by a rival, losing a game he was supposed to, heck, expected to win. Instead of stomping off, he took the time to go out of his way to pass along a kind word.
Pretty classy. Pretty good life lesson.
Things don't always go your way. How you handle it when they don't says a lot about you.
