[FONT=&quot]“Obviously, Hugh fell from grace, he lost his job, and that has been well documented. I have personal experience knowing that sometimes things, as they are reported, aren’t exactly as they are in the truth. So I called Hugh and wanted to talk to him and had some opportunity to get to know him even better. While we can’t change the past, we can certainly move on in the future.”

Remember when Hugh himself made a similar argument in DMs to that guy on Twitter, leading everyone to debate whether he was admitting that the hookers weren't for him.

Well, here it is again, now from Neuheisel, and you have to wonder if Hugh just flat out told him, "Hey, you know how tough recruiting is now, blah blah blah, but they weren't for me."

Without a tinfoil hat I think he’s probably referring to the gambling accusations he faced at Washington. He was fired for participating in an NCAA basketball pool. After he was fired there Was some weird gobbledygook about memos and NCAA bylaws and long story short he shied the NCAA and Washington and got a combined payday of 3 million.

Money and success are, after all, the primary reason to become reconciled to God.

Well, what else is Freeze's story going to be? This is nothing but what he's been saying for over a year now. I still think the truth is the hookers were for recruits in Oxford AND for him personally on the road.

He's in a catch 22. He wants so bad to tell the world he wasn't cheating on his wife and this is just how Ole Miss recruits, but he would never work again if he admitted he was getting hookers for recruits. (of course there may be criminal implications too).

But in his mind, the idea that he was cheating on his wife is far more detrimental because of the hit to his religious persona. Trust me, he doesn't equate the two. It's why he keeps dipping his toe in the pool and coming so close to just saying it.

And to be clear, he probably was doing both like Patdog suggested.

Absolutely. He and many others in that athletic department at the time would go to prison for a good while on a laundry list of counts if any solid evidence were to come out.
