They have to "show" there is not a racial issue there lmfao.

True, when he graduated high school he would not have been allowed to attend Ole Miss. In fairness, he wouldn't have been allowed to attend almost any non-black university.

He's probably gonna play Trinidad in the eventual biopic about his life and career

As long as they are saying they’re Ole Miss, that is simply another way of saying Old Mississippi, which is just bad in every way.

I like him. Good choice
Lets be real, Ole Miss doesn’t really have many choices to begin with. So they choose the best distant choice they could find, everyone loves Morgan Freeman.

He needs to read Lebron's "Decision" letter.

Maybe that's the point?

Ole Missy still gets trolled about being a racist institution - what better way to counter that narrative than to have an old, well-known (and mostly well-loved) African-American actor on the show to wax poetically about "My, how the times have changed around here".

I'll wait to see what he says on GameDay, but I'm betting that's going to get worked into the conversation somehow.

I'd ask if he's bringing the step-grandaughter he molested, but it looks like she's dead now.


She's dead because she was murdered, and the only person who ever suggested that Freeman had an inappropriate relationship with her was his defense team.

Not her, not her stepmother, zero corroborating evidence, just allegations by the man who brutally murdered her.

But hey, you believe whatever you want to

I get that, but there is a wide gap between Tiger Bait and incest and/or child molestation. And what if he picks LSU
