Bob Huggins experienced a dangerous landing at the Charlotte airport on Thursday - and that was after the plane had already safely landed.
SbBer Don gives us the heads up that the West Virginia basketball coach, who was coming to town to meet with Mountaineer alumni, tripped and cracked his cranium on the tarmac. The CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL has further details of Huggy’s hard fall. Read more…
Bob Huggins needs to be careful with his Cutty Sark consumption, keep his Michelob to a minimum, maintain his Lowenbrau at low levels - basically, he better watch what he drinks.
The AP serves up some sobering details on the new contract the West Virginia basketball coach signed last Friday. The new deal will keep Huggins in Morgantown for at least the next 10 years - provided he doesn’t hit the hooch or heroin too hard: Read more…
The FAIRMONT TIMES WEST VIRGINIAN ran a op-ed column today that lays much of the responsibility for the misdeeds of former Mountaineers Adam “Pacman” Jones and Chris Henry at the feet of their former (and now Michigan) head coach, Rich Rodriguez.

A lawyer for Rich Rodriguez says his client’s legal battle with West Virginia University is similar to a slave trying to buy his freedom.
As Michigan’s new football coach fights the school over a $4 million buyout, the CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL picks up a quote from Marv Robon, one of Coach Rod’s attorneys, who equates the Mountaineers’ monetary demand with the high price of fleeing from shackles & bonds in the 19th century:

We really love the college football recruiting game. Those *experts* from recruiting *services* are the closest thing we have in real, live sports to professional wrestling managers.
You’re usually either REALLY interested in recruiting, or not at all. We’re the latter.
