THE GROUP DISPLAYS EXCESSIVELY ZEALOUS AND UNQUESTIONING COMMITMENT TO ITS LEADER

The love affair Rebel fans have with Coach Hugh Freeze is pretty much off the charts. As an example, have a look at these tweets:

Yes, Rebel fans love Hugh Freeze. It’s not hard to categorize that love as “cult like”.  But it’s not just a matter of individual tweets.  Recently, HottyToddy.com came up with an entire campaign designed to show the college football world that Rebel fans love their coach.  The “I STAND WITH COACH FREEZE” buttons, pictured here and discussed in this article, demonstrate that there is no shortage of zealous and unquestioning support for Hugh Freeze.

I think we can put a checkmark by this one.
