Huggy Bear

Hard to believe it is October already, This time of year is always fun in Morgantown as WVU sports rule the area.  We are in the thick of football season and the men's basketball team is getting ready to start practice.  

I'm in the minority in these parts as I enjoy college basketball more than football. Don't get me wrong I love going to football games, but something about college basketball always gets me pumped up.  My wife and I have been season ticket holders for several years now.  It is one sport that both my wife and I really enjoy watching together so it gives us a chance to hang out away from the house when the weather is crappy outside.  Nice to have something bridge the gap until Spring Training starts in March.  

This will be an interesting year for WVU basketball.  Coach Huggins has had to deal with some adversity the last few years as poor recruiting and transfers have plagued the team.  This year we have preseason Big 12 player of the year Juwan Staten returning to lead the team.  Always nice to have a veteran point guard.

I think a lot of the issues that Bob Huggins is having with his players is the way he coaches.  The old school coach who is big on negative reinforcement is a dying breed.  Hopefully coach Huggins has a group that is more willing to accept his style.  

Coach Huggins lives just one street down with me.  I wonder if he would sign some cards for me if I stuck them in his mailbox.  I'm afraid he would yell at me and I would have to transfer away like all his players.
