I am all for strip club theme nights.
This one though has a bit of a backstory.
Jerry Westlund, who owns numerous joints throughout the south, told USA Today that Freeze’s theme night on Saturday is because the coach is a “hypocrite” for his ban on the clubs. Freeze resigned after phone records showed he made a one-minute call in 2016 to a phone number connected to a Tampa escort service.
Starkville is, of course, where Ole Miss rival Mississippi State is located. From USA Today, where you should go and read the entire article because Westlund’s quotes are gold:
Westlund said if the doormen determine that someone looks like Freeze, the cover charge will be waived. There will also be free admission plus a drink for anyone who “turns in your Ole Miss official SEC coaching visor,” a nod to the sideline headgear Freeze preferred.
“We’ll be ringing the bell in tribute to Hugh and wish him nothing but the best as he seeks to further his coaching career at some community college in the Pacific Northwest,” Westlund said.
Let me see if I can find a visor.
