Why we hate Cincy?

[mugrad2006]

Two Words: Bob Huggins

[karavotsos]

Jarrod Lovette can still kick Danny Fortson's a--.

[Tom Crean's Tanning Bed]

Steve Logan and Donald Little stealing the CUSA regular season championship from us in the last minute at Cincy in 2002 (up 4 with 45 seconds left, Logan delivers a forearm shiver to Henry and nails a 3, Wade misses FT, Little hits a 15 fter with 2 seconds left).  Then Jason Maxiell punching Cordell Henry in the junk during the CUSA tourney final 3 weeks later.  

Anyone remember when the Cincy player tried to start the fight with the MU trainer during the homegame in 2004 too?

[JMcSteal]

We hate them because they smell funny

[Wade for President]

The forearm shiver by DMX(Steve Logan) to clear Cordell off him for the lead taking 3 at Cinncy in 2002 that cost us a conference championship

I can remember that play as if it were yesterday (clinching fists).

[brewcity77]

Yeah, still the whole Huggy Bear era. I can't remember a team exuding dirty play more than they did.

[MU86NC]

They were a nemesis in Conference USA and playing at the Shoe was one of the toughest places to play in the nation - still serving alcohol in the campus arena?

[willie warrior]

I do not hate Cincy near as much as when Thuugy Bear was there. With the  thugs and cons that he brought in, it was easy to hate them.

[Litehouse]

I hate Cincy for the 90's.  Especially Feb. 27, 1997, Cincy beats us in the last home game I went to as a student.  After the game, I went down and sat in the front row until the cleaning crew kicked me out, just being bummed-out that my time as a student was over.

Am I the only one who misses Huggins at Cincinnati?

These games are always much more fun with him there. How awesome would this game be if Huggy was on the sidelines and Cincy was in the top 10? It's still a big game, but with Huggy there it'd be that much bigger,

How great was it to beat Huggins and Cincy to win the 2003 C-USA title, or knock them off in 2002 when they were No. 4 in the country. Sure, there's been some heartache, but that only makes the high moments that much better.

[Henry Sugar]

I hate Cincy because they are evil.  They must be destroyed.

[brewcity77]

Am I the only one who misses Huggins at Cincinnati?

Nope. I'm glad that he's at least back in the conference at WVU, and it goes to show that like any true villain, the great ones never die, they just resurface when you think they're gone. He's like the Joker, Green Goblin, Q, Ben Linus, or Sideshow Bob. Still, the sequel is rarely as good as the original, and that's how I feel about Huggins at WVU. I still hate him, we all still know he's a scumbag that doesn't care about education or quality of character, but his players just aren't as evil as the Cincy days.
