Hugh Freeze scores one more in your face TD
against UT when most coaches would have taken a knee.
They did the same thing against us. What a jerk.

RE: Hugh Freeze scores one more in your face TD
I think some coaches also get offended by that. Driving down inside the 10 then kneeling says, "we know we can score, but we're not going to because we don't want to embarrass you," which in itself is kind of embarrassing. I think what Freeze wanted was to call a bunch of runs in to the line of scrimmage so it didn't look like he was having pity on us, but didn't run the score up either. Dodson felt differently, and our D didn't stop him. It is what it is. Either way, I think Freeze was trying to do the right thing.

Freeze wanted to cover against us. That was all he was trying to do.

RE: Hugh Freeze scores one more in your face TD
has his teams ever taken a knee
i dont remember if they did at lambuth or arkansas state
i dont understand the apology
either you called a running play or a play to take a knee
the apology makes either the coaching staff or the players in the game look stupid

I saw that play. This seems like another thread to flush out OM fans.

That's what he should say then, instead of back tracking

We took a knee against Cincy when we could have scored again.
It's called class.

This; unfortunately, class is in short supply these days.

But we boo when the Tigers are up by 25 and have 99 points on the board, or are a basket away from Danvers.
Then it's ok, right?

Blame it on the system.
Undefeated Florida State is getting raked over the coals each week for not blowing teams out enough.
They say margin of victory doesn't matter but it does.

Surviving and advancing isn't very glamorous until you've survived all the way to the Championship game.

RE: Hugh Freeze scores one more in your face TD
When Freeze was at Arkansas State he was taking a knee with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter at the Liberty Bowl because he was tired of scoring against Larry Porter. That was against a team he should have been coaching, wanted to be coaching, and might still be coaching if our AD had any sort of vision.
Don't be sour now that he's dominating somewhere else. Class or no, covering keeps boosters happy. Happy boosters = happy program.

Yet Fuente got a little fire when Ifedi got injured in a blowout game against Austin Peay when the game was soundly in hand.
As a coach, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

there is your answer. Coaches take a knee to not subject their team to a needless injury. Very little to do with class.

Yeah, HometownTiger already explained this away Ole Mrs. style in a another thread.
I'd like to hear his take on Bro Wallace calling an audible and throwing a TD in the Memphis Game late.
