Solid Long Term Hire.  But, just knowing the acronym doesn't really explain it.  It was every coach in the Big 12 that was hired when we hired Hugs (and then Frank imo).  Everyone was all, "Pffttt, why didn't you get a SLTH coach?  He is going to destroy your program!"  Meanwhile, BzDeliackiakk, Doc, McDermott, etc. are SLTHing their way into the hearts of their fans.  It's a good acronym when you can use it as something other than a noun like I just did.  Another example of this is EMAW.  Like, I'm EMAWing my ass of....or I'm Feeling Really EMAWy.

Another good use of SLTH is as an adjective or adverb:

"Wow, McFatNeck sure looked SLTH-y when he flopped his jacket into the crowd."

yep, EMAW can be used in the same way.  That's when you know you have a winner.

I like the fact that SLTH is close to SLOTH. Whenever I read something with SLTH in it i pronounce is like sloth in my head.

me too.  The parrallels between a sloth and a SLTH is just another thing that makes the term fantastic, imo.

yes.  excellent.  Also, that was the origination of the McNeck

McDermott has an abnormally large head

His neck is the fattest neck I have ever seen.  You can see the tears in the eyes of the top buttons on his shirt as they just want to throw in the towel.  It completely engulfs his collar.  Gross.

Bzz is really SLTH'ing his way into the 400 buffalo b-ball fans hearts.

SLTH also means more to EMAWs because we had Wooly.

QFT.

Wooly was the most SLTHy SLTH that ever SLTHed.

water is wet.  why do you think the acronym exists? 

[Skydog]

anyone else pronounce it "slooth"?

[ChicoRodriguez]

anyone else pronounce it "slooth"?

Yes, I do.

[Pete]

No.  You must change your mental image of the word to SLOTH.  Pretty much cemented now.

[michigancat]

I pronounce it "sulth".

QFT.  The SLTH/Sloth correlation is a natural one.

[cokansan]

I always thought it meant *Sh*t like this happens".

[Pete]

I pronounce it "sulth".

Not anymore you don't.  SLOTH.  Case closed.

[pissclams]

that's actually a pretty good descriptive of a SLTH coach.

Visual aid to help reinforce the "sloth" pronunciation...

LOL.  The SLTH hanging upside down is the icing on the cake.  Quick couple of questions though:  Are they the 3 toed variety?  And who would be the prehistoric giant SLTH in history?

I think the term came much more from the Frank hire than Huggs.  The entire world was saying we sold out our future for one season.  "Just made the hire for one recruiting class that would be gone in a year" ... "thinking short term instead of making a solid long term hire"  ... "You could have hired Mark Fox!" ... "stupid stick!"

The Huggs hire was much more about "selling our soul".  Everyone knew we'd be good in the long run w/ Huggs.  (had he stayed)
