Slob Chuggins is about to be fired
- Thread starter BleedsGreen33
- Start date
You're on a MARSHALL MESSAGE BOARD!!!
Do you really expect everyone to be cheering for Huggins to stay? Good lord, you're a dolt if you believe so.
I would say, you're exactly the kind of wvu fan there is...someone who didn't attend/or graduate from there, but takes everything bad that's said about wvu, to heart. Why? Because you think, in your middle school educated brain, that wvu winning in something is going to somehow elevate your quality of life.
It doesn't work that way, so stop trying to put forth such an effort to defend a coach from a school on a rival board.
Of course, MU fans on this board may feel passionately about MU, but we also have college degrees, thus, careers, so we can dissociate when we need to.
A bumbling simpleton wvu fan, like yourself, doesn't have a career, they have a dead end job, and must live vicariously through the successes of a sports program who doesn't know they're alive.
This wouldn't be such an issue if wvu hadn't have hired a decrepit dipsh*t like Gee, who had MULTIPLE transgressions in the past as an academic president.
This wouldn't be such an issue if Huggins wasn't fired from his previous employer because of public intoxication or had incidents involving alcohol to begin with.
It's not about cancel culture, it's about setting a standard for the image of the supposed "flagship" school...as the typical culture of a WVian is what has been around for 70 years, unchanged, has a chance to do so.
Instead, they remain the same, and remain, the punchline for Appalachian stereotypes.
Good job.
Oh, I bet your heart rate went up talking about your soldier, your general, Coach Huggins, standing up and fighting the great fight against the blue haired land whales of Cancel Culture!!!
Next thing you'll do is go on YouTube and watch the 2010 NCAA tournament, up until the Final Four with Duke and then promptly cut out.
So, you're fine with a board not liking a head coach for various reasons that are justifiable; he's a drunk, he's at a rival school, he talks bad about MU's program, etc.
Then are shocked when said coach says something that gets him in hot water and people on this board are hoping he gets fired?
You do realize when you don't like someone and they screw up, it is going to push whatever dislike you have of them further, right?
I wouldn't blink an eye if he were fired, because he's dumb enough to say internal thoughts on a public radio show when he knows it's going to cause him more trouble than he already has (ie sucking at coaching basketball the last few years).
I also wouldn't blink an eye if he stayed, because wvu is just proving they are nothing without him. They get to celebrate milestone accomplishments like ring ceremonies of three Sweet 16 appearances in a row.
They'll claim to care with a statement Gee's handler probably wiped his ass with, maybe donate money to a local LGBTQ+ charity, and Huggins taking a pay cut which will inevitably get back to him.
Basically, nothing new nor nothing special in the world of college sports, everyone does this.
Oh, please GHMY! You are not a funny man. Just stick with your snippy, argumentative, not picking, whining persona. It suits you!
Introducing G. Gee’s choice to be the spirit guide for Bob Huggins sensitivity journey:
Donald Trump!
“Very nasty people.” “It’s all fake news” “These people are total whack jobs” “If I told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times - never say you’re sorry!”

- Many, if not most, of WV's problems are caused by the lack of a well-funded major university that serves the state, like most states have. MU tries to do the job WVU forsook without the proper funding.
- WVU has, for reasons of pure jealousy, undercut development of MU and of the state colleges (anyone who thinks any of the recently renamed colleges is a university, has never attended one). It aggrandized the first medical school to itself, when every expert said build it in Charleston, and, of course, it failed, fought against the MU medical school and the osteopathic school for 20 years, even though the federal government was the founding funder, due to the horrid health conditions in southern WV, due to the failure of the WVU medical school to churn out MDs FOR THIS STATE. It fought the MU doctoral programs, still keeping MU from granting degrees well within its competence, it fought the pharmacy school, it fought, and still wants to kill, the forensic science program. In Gee's dream world, MU and the state colleges DO NOT EXIST, and WVU is 100% out of state students. WVU exists to serve non-Appalachians.
- For this reason, anyone who cares about WV and its people, wants WVU to fail. Fail at sports, fail at academics, fail at all things. The worse WVU looks in the eye of the community, the better for this state.
- While I am under no illusion that any college program is 100% clean, no, "everybody" does not do this. Most schools would have fired BH a long time ago. He is publicly drunk at games, at personal events, at fundraisers, all the time. He was clearly drunk when he said what he said on WLW, which everyone should be just as upset at the anti-Catholic part as the other part (Gee is also on record as hating Catholics, along with many other religions and races). He has been caught DUI probably 1000 times and got out of all but the one. Often at a level of intoxication that is well beyond the traffic cop harassing some poor guy who had a couple of beers and really could drive home just fine, but rather at the drunk out of his mind level. He had a drunken party to such a level that a state senator was arrested driving the wrong way on a four lane divided highway. And, BH is a cheat. He has cheated at every stop on his way. He is a dirt bag. MOST schools would not employ him.
- And, the national media all say this. And, because most outside of WV just assume that WVU is to WV like UK is to Kentucky, or NU is to Nebraska, etc, which is to say representative of the state it is named for, rather than despising the state and its people, as WVU actually does, WV is being criticized and looked down upon. Again.

I am really not fine with him getting fired for any of those reasons. I am just fine with our fans not liking him for being a rival. What I am not ok with is insisting that he is punished for something he said and apologized for. We get it- you're a young superhero type of spokesman for all generations. You are the truly amazing thinker!
I don't expect anyone here to like Huggins. The point is people should not want him fired for this because it sets the unjust precedent to be fired for words. And then everyone else is set up for that. I don't care what happens to Bob Huggins, I just don't it to be for this reason because it caters to the liberal mob.
Go back to your moms basement and play GTA, rookie
Too bad these sessions with the L..Q+ Center can’t be televised with the camera on Chuggins the entire time.
Did most of you really think WVU would fire Huggins? Come on. The bow tie wearing President Gee was probably trying to avoid this because his previous stint at Ohio State would have reared its head to remind him of his own comments regarding Catholics, Priests, and Notre Dame. Birds of a feather etc.
Well, he said words he shouldn't, he can be fired for those words.
It's that simple.
You really think that drunk tank really is sincere about it, or even cares?
It would be great if he was made an example out of, but he very likely isn't. As you said, he'd be fired by now.
But it is good to know he likely won't bring wvu to meaningful relevance anytime soon and his final act as HC, will be this. The media will say he did well as a HC, but end it, with this radio rant...and that is, well, about what to expect from wvu anything.
Wasn't meant to be funny, even if someone found it so.
The whole phrase might be a little out of your league, Werther's.
@Chris McLaughlin @Josh Stowers @MichiganHerd Is this suspension worthy?
Herdman, it’s not letting me tag you.
If it is, so be it, but it was more of an attempt at humor, since I couldn’t think of anyone else who would be a worse choice to help Bobby through his crisis…..
Honestly I'm not even sure what he's trying to say.
But yeah, either way this isn't the place for politics - even as humor.
Yes he CAN be, because its a business and an employer. The point is he shouldn't be and everyone needs to stand up to the whiny cancel culture in this case and forget about the hatred for Huggins. The cause is more important than the person this time.
I don't care if he is sincere. And at this point in time I don't care if he is a drunk or a slob or a loser. We can hate him for all of that, tomorrow.
Today- I am on his side because being fired for a culture of whiny bitches is not what I want the precedent to be in this country, especially in sports.
Good question. I'm not sure. I know I was suspended for it, but I was on the right, discussing someone on the left. Maybe there's different policy, depending on which side of the aisle you happen to reside on. Don't know, but herdman may have been at one of the moderator meetings and taken some notes.
"Today- I am on his side because being fired for a culture of whiny bitches is not what I want the precedent to be in this country, especially in sports."
you do understand what a protected class is right?
consequences for derogatory language towards them isn't "a culture of whiny bitches".
it's human decency.
he should have been fired.
terrible precedence by that embarrassment of an institution leading the way for a bottom ranked state.
it's why people leave WV.

So you cant say something derogatory towards a protected class?? Wrong. He has a right to say it, no matter how stupid it was. WVU also has the right to hold him accountable for what he said. They have chosen to handle it their way. It's ok if you dont like it. You have that right too.
People leave WV because there are limited opportunities for advancement, not because a drunk coach calls someone a "fag". We have become a society of whiny bitches. That is without a doubt, true. Everyone looks to be a victim in order to promote their slight.
This is EXACTLY the problem with how you idiots think. Why is there a "protected class"? Can't we all just be humans? I don't like what he said. But we have all said stupid stuff in our lives, just not as publicly. And I promise you that you can't convince me otherwise. I bet you've called Trump the Orange Man before. That sounds like a color of skin phobia. People call Biden too old to lead. Isn't that ageism? People are allowed to say things. What he said was stupid and no one condones it. I am Catholic. Do I like what he said- of course not. But I am not going to support the precedent to try to ruin someone's livelihood because I think I need to be a social justice warrior. Huggins doesn't hate gay people. He called Xavier fans fags. I have called people fags before. It doesn't mean I hate gay people. Its not a word that is ok to use, but it's used anyway because it's the world we live in. Its like "retard". Is not ok, but it happens. If he physically attacked someone then I completely get it. Will Smith still has gigs in Hollywood. What he did was WAY worse than Huggins. But I bet you don't support him being cancelled either because he's on your side of the isle.
In the words of Michael Scott- "You don't call retarded people retards. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded."
That is from The Office. Its humor. Grow up and get over it and try acting like an adult instead of a perpetual victim.
Thanks mom.. You just don't like what I am saying because its logical but doesn't fit your narrative. Don't you hate when that happens?
Embarrass? He's standing up for their right to free speech.
He owns that state.
“I could run for governor,” Huggins deadpanned during a daylong interview I did with him in October 2021.
“He would win easily,” Huggins’ long-time assistant coach, Ron Everhart, said.
Ron Cook: What was Bob Huggins thinking?
I thought about Woody Hayes. It saddened me how his career at Ohio State ended. It didn’t matter that he was Ohio State football. He was fired in...

Thread moved to Pullman, after many HN rules violations on the main board, all of which got a free pass.
Meanwhile, MichiganHerd got a boot in the ass for violation of policy, even though it was an extremely mild violation.
Seems almost like our current DOJ.

Well I am not a WVU fan so good try. I just put the important schemes of life before I do the teams I root for. America is more important than college sports. So in this case, I side with Huggins.
By chance, do you know if he was able to grasp how the transfer portal works?
he'd have every liberal in america supporting him, including liberal marshla fans.
You all have it all wrong. The fags are upset because Huggins called them Catholics.
Im Catholic. This doesnt offend me. What Huggins said didnt offend me. If I was gay, what huggins said wouldnt offend me..
Why? Because Im an adult and dont need to feel butthurt by idiots. Huggins is an idiot. I don't need to whine about him making me feel marginalized. Stop being a phucking victim.
