This is an opinion cartoon.

There have been lots of opportunities for satire with this ‘caught cheating at the Coldplay concert’ moment where a married Mr. CEO was busted on camera with his arms wrapped around Ms. Secret Love Lady. They were having a really good time … until they weren’t.

Thought I would use this hilarious teaching moment as an excuse to hop on the meme and do a little friendly trolling of Hugh Freeze and his lust for golf. Why should Lane Kiffin have all the fun?

Today’s toon catches Freeze in the act of having an affair with his side action when he should be focused on recruiting – and hanging onto – 5-star football players. That seems to be the message from fans, pundits and Joey Freshwater.

In a recent column, our buddy Joe Goodman called Freeze out on his golf game.

A few excerpts:

This is a personal challenge to Hugh Freeze.

If Auburn’s football coach can beat me in a round of golf, then I’ll wash and wax the cars of every receiver on the Tigers’ roster.

Even the freshmen.

Even the walk-ons.

Let’s make it an 18-hole competition, coach vs. columnist.

Straight up. No handicaps. No gimmies.

That might put me at a disadvantage, considering Freeze regularly shoots in the 70s, but there’s just one catch to even the odds.

Freeze has to play with my trusty dumpster clubs.

As the story goes, I wasn’t very good at golf until I found some free clubs in a dumpster. Amazingly, I’m still not any good, but I at least have vintage clubs made of copper and wood.

If Freeze can shoot under 80 with my dumpster clubs, then we’ll know Auburn might have a problem on its hands.

Freeze is catching heat from Auburn fans for playing 10 rounds of golf in the month of June while at the same time losing some recruits who were committed for the class of 2026. Here’s the thing about that, though. Those are just the rounds of golf that Freeze recorded for his official USGA handicap.

Read all of Goodman’s column here. It’s fun and informative.
