Auburn coach Hugh Freeze is apparently feeling under the weather heading into the Tigers’ matchup at Kentucky this week.
According to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the former Ole Miss coach might have food poisoning. He didn’t travel with the rest of the Tigers to Lexington, Kentucky, on Friday, but is expected to be on the sidelines for the SEC battle today and will coach, per Thamel.
And look, we don’t want to make light of someone’s illness, but this report reminded us and a whole lot of college football fans about that time in 2019 when, as the coach of the Liberty Flames, Freeze coached from a hospital bed that was situated in a press-box-level suite. It was one of those college football moments that created a flurry of memes, much of which were recycled and reused on Saturday morning.

Should Freeze coach against Kentucky from a hospital bed, or a toilet, or a throne, or a floating thing that hovers above the field like Dr. Robotnik, we’ll let y’all know.
