Hugh Freeze resigned as Ole Miss coach last Thursday following the initial discovery of a one-minute call made to an escort service.
That call, as it turned out, was found by a self-described Mississippi State fan, ESPN.com detailed Monday.
Steve Robertson, who also has covered Bulldogs athletics as a writer since 2001, came across the call when he was looking through Freeze’s phone records on July 5. When he saw a 313 area code on a call made on Jan. 19, 2016, he looked the full number up on a Google search where he learned that it was tied to a female escort service.
