Huggy on the Shootout

Bearcat_NTS · 12-14-2013, 10:55 AM

“Cincinnati vs. Xavier is off the charts,” Huggins proclaimed. “I mean, it’s off the charts. Kansas State vs. Kansas is a rivalry, but it doesn’t come close.”

“There you have the players playing against each other all summer. For the most part, they are pretty close but when that game happens … I got in trouble for saying it, but it is a holy war. It’s Catholics against heathens. That’s the way they look at it,”

“They’ve always had this thing that they were the poor little school down the road and we had all the money and resources. I mean, there’s nothing like it.”

As usual, Huggy is still the man.

I hate when Cronin says its just another game.

Didn't Huggins use to say it was another game? Coaches always say that, they know how important it is, they just downplay it to the media to not get any posterboard material.

X/UC will never be just another game. I am sure Cronin would love to make it go away and I cannot blame him. Too often coaches are graded by a single game instead of a season. One only has to look to Columbus to see that. Lose to Michigan every year and see how long you last.

It means much much more to those X losers than us. It's their Super Bowl. The series should be canceled. Its not worth it. We have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Yes Ralph, I can tell by this board that the X game means nothing to us lol. Those "losers" are 5-2 against your god. That is 1 OOC game against a quality opponent we can count on every year. Does it mean too much to BOTH schools? I think so. But that is what a rivalry is about, right?

Wow have to wonder if Huggs is on the hot seat at WV. Last two years have been very weak.
