Bob “Huggie Bear” Huggins, the West Virginia basketball coach and professional heart attack victim, recently showed up at a fundraiser sporting two black eyes. The reason for the black eyes? Well, much like that Luka kid Suzanne Vega sang about, he got his ass kicked by the bathroom door.
West Virginia University athletic director Ed Pastilong, left, and WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins are shown Sunday, June 7, 2009, at a fantasy camp basketball banquet in Morgantown, W.Va. Huggins kept his sense of humor as he sported two black eyes and a welt. He says he stepped into the edge of his bathroom door late one night. Pastilong’s right hand was in a cast from recent surgery.
Was he dancing on the ceiling when he stepped on the edge of the door?
I’m calling BS on that one I don’t buy it, his gut would prevent his face from ever reaching the door first and in Morgantown, a black eye is just called “having to be told twice”. Also it doesn’t explain the hair for that matter. He does seem to have won the fight with the 10-piece bucket of the Colonel’s half-fried and half-grilled.
What do you tell a college coach with two black eyes?
This would have been posted earlier but I kinda sorted screwed up and forgot to send Joel the bowl schedule. Yeah, my bad, I’m a dick. Whatever. Anywho let’s go over this year bowl schedule and mine and Joel’s picks and then you call your bookie.
This year there is a smorgasbord of crap-tastic games to choose from! Yay!
Non-BCS Bowls
EagleBank Bowl When: Dec. 20, 11 a.m., ESPN Where: Washington Who: Navy vs. Wake Forest
Joel says: Anchors aweigh. I really wish Navy would have beat Notre Dame again this year. Wait, this is a real bowl game???
Thomas says: I pick Navy because I’m sick and damn tired of hearing how the Wake Forest is so good. Blah blah blah. Is this bowl game being funded by any of the bailout money by the way? Read the rest of this entry »
When you’re so wasted that your fellow fans chant “Asshole” at some other guy but you want to be the one being called “Asshole”, you might be fat drunk and stupid. I know the screen is black just press play to see real mountaineer spirit. Warning if you’re at work you might want to turn the volume down. The alcohol he was drinking was meant to be used as fuel for when they set their couch on fire later.
You’re the Great Drunken King, Charlie Brown. It’s clear that the crowd was actually referring to someone else (see the people in the background pointing as they chant?). The troubling thing is, that means there was someone acting like even more of an asshole as this kid!
So you thought because the gun sounded that marked the end of the Toledo/Michigan football game it would end there? Think again. Now the football teams are competing to see which school can rack up the most arrests.
If you think things are bad at Tennessee then you haven’t noticed the state of Blue and Maize at Michigan because it’s dire. See the photo above? That’s Cleveland wide receiver Braylon Edwards, funny…he’s wearing a Penn State shirt and yet he went to Michigan. Talk about a cold shot. Then again maybe he thought he was pledging support for the new Thundercats movie. At least it wasn’t a Toledo shirt.
Well things have started to get worse, at least for Rich “Dirty Sanchez” Rodriguez. According to the LA Times:
Steve Kampfer, a fourth-round pick of the Ducks in 2007, remains hospitalized in Ann Arbor, Mich., after he was attacked by a University of Michigan football player early Sunday morning.
Kampfer, 20-year-old defenseman on Michigan‘s hockey team, was thrown head first onto the sidewalk after he and a friend were confronted by a group of young men, university police said. A Ducks spokesman said that Kampfer suffered a fractured skull.
According to the witness, Kampfer and an unidentified friend were walking southward on Church Street when three unknown males caught up to them just past the intersection with Willard Street.
The man walking with Kampfer turned around as the group approached and said something the witness could not hear.
The witness said two of the men walked past Kampfer and his friend, shoving them aside, and then the third picked up Kampfer and slammed him into the sidewalk. Kampfer’s friend yelled at the group, but the men continued walking south on Church Street, the witness said.
He said Kampfer wasn’t moving and appeared to be unconscious after the attack.
The witness described the person who hit Kampfer as a short, athletically built blonde male. He said the attacker was accompanied by two other men with athletic builds and blonde hair. All three were wearing jeans and black shirts that read “Get Wet” in red or orange on the back, according to the eyewitness.
Mike Milano left, Steve Kampfer, right
According to University Police Lieutenant Robert Neumann the victim was picked up and “body-slammed” which is extremely sad in all honesty. I know losing to Toledo hurts…but damn, however it was the best tackle in Michigan all fall.
No word on the Atomic Leg Drop after the slam.
Mike Milano, a redshirt junior on the Michigan football team is the prime suspect.
First…the messy divorce from WVU, then the transfers, then the losing & finally Braylon Edwards showing up for an interview with Monday Night Football while wearing a Penn State shirt on, and now this?
LONG LIVE RICH ROD!!!
Granted Toledo might have gained an upset victory over Michigan last Saturday but their football players aren’t necessarily any smarter.
Take team captain Nick Moore & Albertson Alexandre for example. They decided to pull an all-night celebration only to get arrested outside of Ryno’s Bar & Gril on Sunday morning after a drunken fight.
Moore, a senior and team captain, and Jason Link of Columbus were involved in a fistfight at 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the establishment’s parking lot, according to police.
Alexandre, a junior from Miami, repeatedly approached the officers, ignoring numerous commands to leave the area, according to the report. After approaching an officer and tapping his firearm while trying to get his attention, Alexandre was taken into custody, according to police.
Talk about the smart thing to do…mess with the Po Po’s gun….brilliant. Next time just politely ask the officer to taser you in the nuts.
Wait…the Toledo paper is actually called The Blade…that’s disturbing. The Toledo Blade would make a fine addition to the Mystery Men.
They must really love their football in Toledo, to go this crazy after beating Western Michigan. Or was it Central Michigan?
Oh wait those teams have more talent than Michigan…my mistake.
So far Toledo is still leading Michigan except this time score is 2-0. Toledo
For the 2 regular readers of this blog (and the thousands of trolls), you may or may not know that West By God Virginia holds a special place in our hearts and minds. By no stretch are we Mountaineer fans. Our beloved orange warriors win championships (although none in football thanks to that fat, stubborn…sorry, wrong subject). All one has to do is type West Virginia in the search box to see plenty of Mountaineer fodder.
So whenever this fine institute of higher learning makes the news, we take special notice. I mean, why wouldn’t we??? The writers at The Young & The Restless couldn’t write more drama in the past year. Just Rich Rodriguez alone would be Victor Newman, and Michigan would be the new young and beautiful chick that stolls into Genoa City that he would bang instantly.
In Coach Bill Stewart’s contract, the signed deal includes 1 extra year that wasn’t on the original offer sheet. Also, if he is fired before January 3, 2009, the school must pay him $4.125 million. Former embattled school president Mike Garrison can’t be blamed for this one though, because he was gone by the time the contract was finalized and signed, which was on Sept. 10. The big deal was that a flat $1 million buyout clause was negotiated and agreed upon in the original offer sheet. In other words, now West Virginia can’t fire this guy until Jan. 4. By then, the Mountaineers could easily be 6-6. There is hope though, 6-6 could be good enough to win the Big East.
West Virginia is it’s own worst enemy. Shame too. The school could be great. Wait, let me re-phrase that. The school could be better than mediocre. Whenever the administration and athletics department decide to join 2008 and get out of 1972, please let me know. For all I know, they could still be playing John Denver in Mountaineer Field on an 8 track. Mountain momma, take me home…

Anyway, it is time for the following coach to update his resume. No, not a certain coach in Knoxville. I am sure plenty of fellow Vols are busy writing his resume for him. I am talking about mi amigo, and possibly the absolute worst hire at a major D-1A program this side of Coach O…
MY good buddy, Bill Stewart. The man who is supposed the lead the Mountaineers to the promise land. The guy who was supposed to lead the Mountaineer program to a national title. The genius that would turn Pat White into the pocket passer that Rodriguez couldn’t develop. The master of all things West By God Virginia.
Hey Thomas, remember all of those many comments from the Mountaineer faithful that came to the site the days leading to the Fiesta Bowl, and when Team Turmoil beat Oklahoma??? Where the hell are they now??? I said back then that the school decided to go with the one night stand instead of the sure thing. And now they sit 1-2. Looking at the remainder of the schedule, I see losses to Auburn and South Florida. I can see a possible upset to Louisville and UConn (man I can’t believe I said that). Howdy Doody.
So, Coach Bill Stewart, you are a nice guy. You are in over your head, but a nice guy. Unfortunately, all of those lonely couches in Morgantown are missing the warm embrace of kerosene and matches. They cannot burn themselves, and with you at the helm, I am afraid that instead of the fall smell that normally encompasses the air in West Virginia won’t be the sweet mix of cotton/polyester blends and pressboard. Instead, it will be the usual scent of coal, sulphur, meth, and depression. And there is no one else to blame but the meddling governor, the outgoing school president, and the inept AD. Country roads…
While most West Virginia fans will not admit it, they are presently missing one man known as Mexico’s finest son. That man is Rich Rodriguez, or as I like to call him Rich “Dirty Sanchez” Rodriguez.
I have nothing against Bill Stewart; in fact I think he’s one hell of a nice guy. Maybe that’s the problem. He beat Oklahoma using Rodriguez’s aggressive playbook. Now he has tamed it down some and even at one point in this very young season attempted to make Pat White into a passing QB.
I can’t say what is wrong with West Virginia Football at this point. However I think the attitude of the program relied heavily on the former coach.
Judging from the posters at the West Virginia Scout message board Stewart is destined to fail. And let’s not forget he just signed a new six year deal as well. Country Roads motherfuckers…
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been the scourge of MLB for a number of years now. To let you know how bad they’ve been, the last run at glory for the Pirates was when Barry Bonds played for them.
So given that info it surprises me that anyone would even bother going to their games much less go to their games, get into an altercation with security officers, pepper sprayed & then charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and underage drinking.
According to the Post-Gazette that’s exactly what two WVU basketball players did.
Joe Mazzulla and Cam Thoroughman were arrested after a scuffle at the security station where they had been detained by off-duty police officers working during the Pirates game against the ColoradoRockies.
The two are charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and underage drinking.
Police had to call for backup because Mr. Mazzulla and Mr. Thoroughman, both 20, were refusing to provide identification as they argued with the officers, according to a complaint.
Police said Mr. Thoroughman, a 6-foot, 7-inch forward on the Mountaineers team, reached across a counter toward an officer.
This led to at least two officers grabbing him as they demanded that he place his hands behind his back.
He continued to struggle with the officers after police used a burst of pepper spray to control him. Eventually officers dragged him to the floor, police said.
While Mr. Thoroughman was down, Mr. Mazzulla tried to intervene, pulling his teammate away from the officers, even throwing a punch at one of them before he, too, was subdued, according to officers.
Well that was an alcohol fueled Mensa moment of brilliance. But were any couches burned? At least they weren’t tasered. I think they were upset about losing their #1 party school ranking.
Bobby “Huggy Bear” Huggins is taking the traditional stance on this:
“We will let the judicial process take its course and the matter will be handled internally.”
Bob Huggins is appalled by the lack of severity in these charges. His recruiting has dropped off from the horse-punching days.
Instead of being hauled off to jail, the pair was required to watch a Pirates doubleheader.
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment!
