Huggy Bear resigns

[UpstateSM]

HELL YEAH

HELL YEAH

Manson was from WV? Met a lot of WV fans, mostly at a Pinstripe and some BETs.

This makes sense and explains a lot.

From Ohio, but spent some of his early childhood in West Virginia

I was thinking something similar about his liver. A 69 year old in as disastrous shape as he appears to be in is probably on a ton of meds that are hepatotoxic when taken with excess alcohol.

It must be a joy being his personal physician.

Not to mention he stopped at Burger King

 

[Cheriehoop]

I was wondering why Morgantown police would arrest him and make it public. But I see he was in…..Pittsburgh. LOL.

Of all the places to get bombed, Pittsburgh - your school’s most hated rival.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

It makes you wonder how many times the cops in West Virginia have driven Huggins and his car home after an incident like this.

In 2004, the arrest report said the inside of his car door was covered in vomit, this idiot didn't have a couple drinks, he was so wasted he was throwing up on himself and still tried to drive home.

He really should get a jail term for this offense. Dude couldn't pull his car over, and had probably just hit something to flatten his tire.

If you vomit, then the alcohol is now outside your body, not in your belly, so it can’t harm you. You’re all good. That’s (hillbilly) science, son.

Bob’s yet to find a place he wouldn’t get bombed.

It’s your body reacting to dousing it with poison.

 

[Moontan]

He’ll step down by Monday, at the latest.

Might just be me but all this is just very very sad. Someone needs to care enough about him to get him serious help - forget basketball - this is about his life and the others who may encounter him while drunk - their lives, their family’s lives , his own family and loved ones. They need him to care about himself, his loved ones more than he cares about drinking. Hope WVU administration decides to care more about him personally to not give a dam about basketball.

It appears that sufficient attention/assistance/care has not been given to Huggins’ alcoholism to date. Winning games has been the bottom line at WVU, and - public pressure aside - I don’t expect that to change.

As has been previously stated, I can only imagine the level of damage that Huggins’ body has suffered as a result of his drinking.

Pretty sure the WVU administration decides to fire him , but it’s not because they care about getting him the help he needs.

0.21?!?! That’s an unfathomably high BAC.

Douchebag could easily have killed someone. Lock him the F$&- up. For a long time.

Higher than the team GPA!

Alcohol addiction is no joke. And I hope Huggins gets the treatment he needs to overcome this. But my 26 year old cousin was killed by a DWI driver this past summer. I have little sympathy for someone who puts their addiction behind the wheel of a vehicle.

 

[elimunelson]

How he isn’t fired yet is inexcusable. I’m sure it’s a reaction to mainstream media having the correct take here which is 6 strikes and you are out.

Guy should be in jail not behind a bench. F treatment. The treatment should be sobering up in jail.

 

[Cuse181]

Fire him by mid next week. Embarrassing if not

Seriously...sick of the “good guy” comments. He was obliterated drunk behind a wheel. Could have easily killed someone, screw him.

Seriously though, any chance we reach out to Jesse if huggy is gone? Now is not the time to be holier than thou.

 

[SWC75]

Sorry Jesse, there’s no more room at the Inn anymore.

Could he pay his way with the NIL money?

 

[SWC75]

I agree, alcoholism is not a laughing matter. Nothing funny about it.

Mickey Mantle used to say that a big problem in his attempts to stay sober is that so many fans wanted to have a drink with him.

 

[SWC75]

From the WVU board...

If somebody does not use the headline "Huggs career comes to a Swift end" then journalism is indeed dead.

It survived "Headless Body in Topless Bar"

Kinda tough when you already brought in his replacement.

You can’t jerk kids around, if you want a good reputation on the recruiting trails. IMO.
