Remember how much University of Louisville basketball fans despised Bob Huggins during his tenure at Cincinnati and those seasons of dominance in Conference USA? He’s been through so much over the last decade with his personal challenges that the edginess between Louisville and the Huggie Bear may have softened a bit.

But he’s back doing his thing at West Virginia again, getting the kind of players he thrives on, the kind who beat you black and blue while outshooting, outpacing and outdistancing you. He may not seem to be quite the formidable character he once was but don’t be deceived. His sole objective remains to pummel you into submission.

One thought on “Huggie Bear Alert”
  1. Huggie has definitely landed on his feet @ W Va- I am glad he is coaching the Neers-
    To me it is what makes College sports so awesome! As we know it will be a battle, time for the Cards to turn it up a few notches! Go CARDS!
