Total crap...and I posted it in another thread


Huggins will never coach here.

3/14/2006 12:50:17 PM

Fort Worth Star-Telegram?

3/14/2006 12:51:17 PM

Drunk Driving Down Tobacco Road!!

3/14/2006 12:51:23 PM

^^ it's a real paper

i only know this because i did an essay about a murder that took place in fort worth

3/14/2006 12:52:35 PM

I found the piece on CNNSI's Truth and Rumors section.

3/14/2006 12:53:24 PM

Lee Fowler and the NCSU admins would never hire a guy with an off-court record like Huggins. Don't take ACC basketball advice from a Texas newspaper. They are just trying to keep Rick Barnes from leaving UT.

3/14/2006 12:55:25 PM

i'm sure its a real paper, but yeah ^ dont know how credible it would be about rumors of NC State's bball program

3/14/2006 12:56:07 PM

LEE'S TOO PUSSY TO HIRE A WINNER LIKE HUGGINS

3/14/2006 1:14:10 PM

huggins, a winner
hahahah

3/14/2006 2:13:48 PM

locl

3/14/2006 2:15:24 PM

3/14/2006 2:15:43 PM

well the offense would change

thats fo sho

3/14/2006 2:16:17 PM

so would the graduation rate and the probation status i'm sure

3/14/2006 2:17:33 PM

If we fired Herb and hired Huggins -
his ass better win 2 national championships with a couple of Rhodes Scholars on the team.

...just what we want. somebody who will tarnish a Sendek-mended reputation

3/14/2006 2:23:33 PM

it would go from a thinking-man's game to a drinking-man's game...

Driving the lane would now include drinking first....

3/14/2006 2:25:21 PM

it'll never happen.

3/14/2006 2:26:00 PM

i doubt a school that had 6 people die after a sporting event due to drunk driving would hire a coach with a record.

phil ford would prolly have a head coaching job by now if it werent for his past

3/14/2006 2:27:48 PM

We will never take Huggins. I wish the herb nut riders would realize that firing Herb does not mean bringing in huggins.

3/14/2006 2:28:39 PM

no, it means bringing in someone who is a nobody

who hasnt earned the inside track from high school coaches, havent developed a style of play, proven themselves... =3 years+ of bad recruiting

I can make shit up too.

3/14/2006 2:31:56 PM

This would be perfect.

I mean, this is the school that ran a guy out of town because people thought he had done something wrong.

For Huggie Bear, there's actual proof.

BRILLIANT.

3/14/2006 2:54:41 PM

we will never take huggins.

3/14/2006 2:55:36 PM

benmaller.com is reporting the same thing, that we will take huggins

3/14/2006 3:26:23 PM

No one got my humor, so I'll repeat:

it would go from a thinking-man's game to a drinking-man's game...

3/14/2006 3:28:31 PM

if we fire herb and hire bob huggins our program within 5 years will be slapped with a probation and win about the same amount it does now

3/14/2006 3:28:32 PM

We couldn't possibly take Huggins. No way. I'd like the move, because I don't think he'll make the same mistakes twice; but no way the University actually goes for this. No fucking way.

3/14/2006 3:28:33 PM

hey JWHWolf i got the joke. i loled.

Wow if this happens Ive lost all respect for Fowler and all of athletics. Huggins never won at all in the NCAA tourney and most of their wins were the result of a weak Conference USA.

3/14/2006 5:28:15 PM

^pretty much

3/15/2006 9:29:34 AM

wtf...how do rumors like this even get started?

the fanbase might be divided over Sendek, but it sure as hell would be united AGAINST Huggins

3/15/2006 9:33:05 AM

i would heckle Huggins at his first Red/White game if he came here



shit, who am I kidding? I'll heckle the next coach here regardless of who it is

[Edited on March 15, 2006 at 9:42 AM. Reason : ,]

3/15/2006 9:37:16 AM

if Barnes comes here, the WPC will probably hold a coronation ceremony at the Red and White game complete with vcouldcoach and those others carrying him in.

3/15/2006 9:40:39 AM

^^It's haters like you that destroy our team's morale. You should support Next Coach.

3/15/2006 9:46:58 AM

ha!

so the guy who has been defending the current team, while the vocal minority talks shit, is now the bad guy? seems that the people who yell at coach after the tough loss to Wake, while all of the players are standing nearby, are the ones who are hurting morale

...and the guys who publically call for his resignation on the radio

...and the guys who write articles asking him to leave Raleigh



seems like those are the bad guys who are pulling this team apart when the one thing they need right now is solidarity
