Can I wash my running clothes w/ me in the shower using cold water and liquid body soap? I'm too cheap to buy a "sport wash" and don't want to do laundry with a rather small load often.
I've also heard of freezing running shoes and jeans to kill the bacteria/smell. Does this work with clothing too?
It will work.
Hot water will work better. WTF do you want to use cold?
I do it after every run because my clothes used to smell so bad my wife couldn't be around me when I wore them. I NEVER have any bad odors anymore. I wet the clothes down then as I use body wash I let it drip over them. Hang them over the shower to dry after and you're good to go.

I do that sometimes. Just throw your underwear and shorts on the shower floor and step all over it while you shower. To combat odors, I always use a little bleach in the laundry, even with black clothes. Even a few capfulls will kill germs. Of course, let the water run for a while and add bleach before you add clothes.
Here's another voucher for the efficacy of this method... But use hot water.
Did it all through college
You don't really have to shower with them, freezing works well.
Yes to the shower wash. I use shampoo.
I wash vegetables in the shower with me.
