How do we treat Huggins?

[MountaineerLegion]

You know what's really more comparable to "rape"? 

What our football team did to your cute little big east-like program last fall.

 

I have no rebuttal other than we were in company with a lot of other teams.

[lopakman]

Comparing Huggins leaving to being raped....some of you have issues only intensive counseling will resolve.

If I remember the rumor correctly, Huggins had a clause in his contract that he could only leave for one program without incurring penalties...WVU.  How can you fault him for wanting to return to his home state?  It's not like he left your program in shambles.

As for making fun of his jumpsuit, I don't think he cares.  The powers that be at WVU tried to force him into wearing a suit...so he did.  The university decided to let him wear whatever he wanted.



Here's hoping the game is as close as the last one...although I think you all will have our number tonight.

First off, I don't even think West Virginia is a real state.  It's a territory of the Commonwealth of Virginia where they sent their criminals to mate with each other. 

Second, going back to coach at your alma mater is only acceptable when your alma mater doesn't completely suck.

[ChiComCat]

If someone rapes you and leaves you for dead and you don't die and end up leading a good life, you don't thank them for raping you and leaving you for dead when you see them.

This. He wanted Frank & Co. to follow him to Morgantown (including Greenawalt & all that)

LOL at all of the tucks that are going to give him a warm welcoming. Bob could've gave two sh1ts about us after he left

How dare a coach that leaves want his assistants to go with him 

My take on Bob Huggins is I appreciate what he did for our program and know we wouldn't be where we are without him.  That said, I hope he loses a lot.

I doubt Walker would have returned and you know the rest of the recruiting class, especially Beasley, would've went elsewhere.

We would have been worse than the Wooldridge era that year. Huggins wanted to leave us out to dry...

shazbot! that fat alcoholic bastard

Walker had no choice but to return, but yes, we would've lost the rest of the recruits.  He offered his assistants jobs on his new staff which about every coach leaving a job would do.  If we hadn't flat out hired one of them, they would've left.  I don't think its a particular middle finger to K-State.  I think he thought his coaches did a good job and wanted them as a part of his new staff as opposed to being unemployed (or at least looking for a job).

That said, if you want to hate Bob, hate him.  It is a perfectly valid opinion to hate him.

I thought we agreed one Coalaggie invasion a year was enough?

Love Bob. Dude's hilarious and a stud and I wanna party with him so bad.

Wonder if Skeeter will be there tonight.

I hated Bob for the first year or two after he left.  Basically I hated him until Martin proved that he would keep us going once Beasley left.  When Martin took us to the elite 8 I then forgave Huggy for leaving.  Mainly I was just worried we were going back to the days of neck braces and fake tanning.  No one wants those days again.

I said the same thing earlier..."I'd pay big bucks to get hammered with Huggins.  He is both funny and clever.  I'll bet he could tell stories longer than I could drink."

[Fill My Bill]

Bob Huggins made me the man I am today.

No matter the circumstances, you never turn your back on the institution that took a huge chance by hiring you after the DUI. Happily refuse the offer and tell your alma mater that you will accept the offer the next time they come looking for a head coach. It's as simple as that.

He gave us one year after we were the only school that gave him a second chance. One year!

You just don't do that. But we know morals waved bye-bye to that hillbilly Bobby quite a while ago

If I remember correctly there was a clause that he could leave for one job only without incurring a penalty.  That job was WVU.  KState knew what they were getting and agreed to the contract.  No one could have known Beilein would leave WVU when he did.

if i remember correctly, our ADs (past and present) are really dumb when it comes to contracty type stuff and there was no clause related to WVU or anywhere else.  if bob wanted to go, a contract wasn't going to stop him.

No your memory full of crap.  he had to pay $100K for breaking his contract

Everyone knew Beilin would leave the first chance he got.  It's fuckin West Virginia, of course he was trying to leave.

I want to say Bob's contract had $100,000 buy out while Beilein's WVU contract was like $2.5 million and both left(and if i remember right, Michigan told Beilein they were NOT going to pay his buyout and Beilein still left-that had to hurt).

Fair enough.  I assert though that if his buyout was only $100k with 5 yrs to go, then pissclams is correct, you're AD doesn't know a thing about contracts.

Actually it did for me.  I really liked the style of basketball he teaches.  It's fun to watch.  In the end I think it was good for WVU though.

I think someone must care what you think to be insulted.  I'm sure given his past he's heard everything in the book.  Success, a boatload of money and getting to coach for your alma mater have a way of changing your perspective about things.

Good point. I'll hang onto these signs a big longer and we'll use them when we can really offend someone.

[Dugout DickStone]

I like the people who think that Huggins made a huge sacrifice for us. He took the K-State job because it was the only one available, and tried to take everything that is good about it with him on his way out. Why don't we stand up and cheer Lon everytime he comes into the OOD? Huggins should be treated like any former coach. Possibly worse because it's not like it was a tough decision for him to come here when the options are "coach at K-State" or "remain unemployed." He was going to run out of booze money eventually, and he knew it.

I know I would travel/move absolutely anywhere to booze with a guy named "skeeter" every day.

[Pett]

"We played Kansas State early I don't think there's anybody that would say we could've, should've won the ball game," Huggins said.

Sounds butthurt to me.

You know Huggins would love nothing more than to come into the bram tonight and walk out with a win for him and his alma mater

It sickens me just thinking about it

[Brock Landers]

eff Huggins. eff him right up the ass with a broken bottle dipped in AIDS. In a way he Catfished us bigger than crap.
