Huggs Reaching His Boiling Point

**hatvol96** · 02-08-2008, 01:25 AM

Reading his postgame comments, I wouldn't want to be a Mountaineer player. They now have a week off for Huggs to vent on them.

What would Huggy Bear do about the Robert Dozier affair if he was the coach at Memphis? I think I know but do you think it's worth all the ink?

Didn't see what he said buy I did watch most of the game. He just doesn't have a lot to work with. You can tell he has coached them up on D but they can't score.

I'm sure there is no doubt in his mind he can build WVU, but I wonder if he ever thinks about the talent he left in Manhattan?

Am currently looking at the Sportscenter highlights of the game. What a way to lose a game. I can see how Huggy is distraught.

I'm sure he would love to have Beasley on his squad...

Huggs had a similar situation with Ruben Patterson at UC. He didn't suspend him. I think the issue Cal is dealing with is the fact he told them not to be in nightclubs. The did he or didn't he hit his ex issue will play itself out legally. However, you can't let guys openly defy your orders. I'll be surprised if Cal doesn't sit him for awhile.

Wellington Smith leaving Ronald Ramon at the end of the game is exactly the kind of idiotic play that gets you beat.

Sure he does.

Didn't he call himself the Kobe stopper for a time?

Anyone see Jordan's kid getting minutes in OT for Illinois?

They must have depth/injury issues for a walk on frosh to see that much action in OT.

He did sit him for the SMU game but my question was what if it had've been the 23rd? While I think, in my opinion, the issue was questionable at best regarding discipline, Cal does need to make a statement to his team that lapses in judgement can't be tolerated. Of course, every coach needs to be sure his players (19 to 22 year old guys) understand that screw ups can cost everything.

How about when Art Long punched and Cincinnati Police horse? That was hilarious!
