Spin it any way you want but in it's lowest common denominator Huggy didn't want to play MU anymore just like he didn't want to play X when he was at UC!
well..we are only #2...in the country
- Thread starter Snow Sled Baby
- Start date
I'll have to leave the workings of Huggy's inner mind to you boys to sort out, I have no idea why he's so afraid to come to Huntington for a basketball game.
When someone can show a good reason why Marshall can dictate terms for two non conference games with WVU then by all means say it. The UC-XU series has ran way longer than WVU-MU and it is one game a year only. Why would Higgins agree to a two game non conference series? I don't know of anyone else that does that. And please find something better than a baseless claim he was scared and wanted out of the Xavier series. An article from the Cincinnati papers would work.
Home and home in alternating years....seems fair but you boys called that " dictating terms".
Huggins is an ass, and doesn't want to play Marshall. That's what it all comes down to. Most of their fans don't want to play Marshall as well, or so they say.
Personally, this forum should be for WVU and the teams they want to play, and talk trash to.
Therefore, no point in Marshall fans being here. No game, no smack.

Time and time again I've shown you articles that Danny Boys terms were TWO games a year, one in Huntington - the other in Charleston, the next year Morgantown and Charleston. If you need a reminder I dug it up for you for the umpteenth time, but I have doubts it will sink in yet again.

“I heard suggestions for home and home. Here’s my suggestion: Morgantown, Charleston. Next year Charleston, Huntington and just keep it that way,” he said. “If they back out now they’re afraid of us.”

D’Antoni said he would be interested in seeing the rivalry game played TWICE per season.
“ I’ve heard suggestions for a home-and-home,” he said. “Here’s what I think: Morgantown and Charleston (in the first season), and the next year, Charleston and Huntington. “If they back out now, they’re afraid of us,” D’Antoni said.

After the December 2014 game, new Marshall coach Dan D’Antoni challenged WVU and WVU coach Bob Huggins to consider playing the game TWICE a season, once at Charleston and the other on alternating campuses. To not do so would mean the Mountaineers are “afraid” of the Herd, D’Antoni said.
Hugg's reply to all that - Huggins: I think if this kind of thing continues, why would we? Why we want to sit here and hear we’re afraid? Go find somebody else to play.

As usual, the point goes over your head, so let me post this s l o w l y. If I didn't know the kid's father, then I wouldn't even know the name of one Marshall basketball player. In any event, Buzzkill thanks you for butting your beak into our debate, which had to do with his Marshall obsession, not your Marshall obsession.
So who else plays a non conference team home and away each year? Or home and neutral floor / away and neutral floor. It was a stupid idea. WVU brings in 60-70% of the fans but has to split the gate 50/50. This is a ploy for Marshall to keep that gravy train going every year and to get a sellout every other year at home. Like I've said before, it's all about the mighty dollar.
Clearly it's not that Huggins is afraid of Marshall. (Haven't found that Huggins wants out of Xavier game proof yet?).
True that no one plays two OOC games with the same team. And also why would anyone agree to play a series that meant you'd give that OOC opponent a home game, two neutral site games 150 miles away from our home court (not to mention that we'd provide the ticket sales and split the gate evenly), in exchange for a single home game every other year ? No one does that, and no coach other than a glorified HS coach would even suggest it.
Can one of you herders take your buddy osufraud with you when you leave?
So you'd go for the series as it originated...home and home in alternating years!
So says the coward who had me on ignore and begged others to do the same, only to take me off ignore, then cry because I own you, as usual.
Not me. I'm terrified of Marshall!! They are pretty darned good and I don't think our players would be used to such talent.
Fair enough given your track record in Huntington...but you Sir, are an honest man!
Tony, I think you need to look up the definition of sarcasm. Here's a little pointer about what Motown Mounty did to you.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/sarcasm
When the series originated in 1929, the three games were played in Morgantown.
When it was renewed in 1978, the first six were in Morgantown. In 78, WVU invited Marshall to the Mountaineer Classic. (Marshall never invited WVU to the MMI). Wonder why?
So to answer your question .... yes. I would take the series on just like it originated since you asked.
Come on up to Morgantown!
When were you on ignore .... a year ago on another board? Wow
As far as ownage, yes you sure own me. I can never come up with so many childish rants and name calling on the 5th grade level like you can.
Run along fraud, you bore me.
I was at the 1978 Mountie Classic, Joe Fryz beat us with a last second shot.
No coach, you stated multiple times last year that you placed the Ohio guy on ignore. Here's one of many threads where you made that claim:
https://westvirginia.forums.rivals....d-13-th-out-of-14-teams-in-the-big-10.138715/
Does this post ring a bell?
Death, taxes, and Coach WestsiderFraud lying on a message board are the only three certainties in life.
Does the fact that I asked if it was a year ago and on another board rather than make a statement mean anything to you?
But thanks for the answer. It was THIS board and almost a year ago. Be sure to let your buddy know. He likes everything you post. Right or wrong.
First off, did you get one of those shirts that had a picture of the coliseum and the words: the house that Marshall filled?
Second, I guess you agree to renew the series with the games in Morgantown?
I remember Noah Moore ( PHS) beating us on a last second shot in the old Civic Center in Charleston as well. Great games and memories! Too bad we can't find a way out of this nonsense.
The smack from Marshall fans has been as weak as the competitiveness in the actual games.
That was back when Gale Cattlet returned to replace Joey Gardner in our Eastern 8 days. The program was struggling at best back then and both schools were energized by the series start up.
Today, like it or not, WVU has moved way ahead of Marshall and feels that the scales should tip to WVU's favor.
Translation: You were caught lying again, and are butt hurt. Move along, loser.
Coach Westsider, I think we caught you in a major fib. So, instead of calling others out for acting like 6th graders, you should probably man up, and stop acting like one yourself.
Really? A major fib?
I asked a question. Do I spend all my time on here searching back 11 months ago for what others have said? I asked it in the form of a question not a statement of fact. Or call anyone a punk or coward or obsessed ( you know, being a fan of a school that WVU hasn't played in several years camping out 24/8/365 on a WVU board). At least you bought season tickets and wear WVU gear.
NEWS FLASH: I said 5th grader, not 6th. So you are posting stuff that's not true. He was held back again.
So, the West Virginia STATE alumnus continues to dig his hole, deeper and deeper. Stop crying like an infant, man up, and admit that MichiganHerd caught you in a lie. You're as dull as a 20-year-old butter knife, and too dense to understand it.
I think I've been giving you too much credit. I know 8 year olds who don't act this childish . Especially on an internet board for all to see. Granted, you keep your true identity from everyone, but if you like acting like this just to get your jollies, so be it.
Your act has long since been over for me. It's now even boring to read the same childish comebacks you keep spewing.

We're only two D-1 schools in the State...seems like we ought to play, after all it's just a basketball game, nothing more.
You're in total meltdown mode, W. Va. State reject. No matter how many posts that you make today, or how many times that you hold your breath and stomp your feet, your lie won't go away, but please keep digging your Grand Canyon sized hole to reinforce what a complete and utter fool that you are....

I doubt that until a few players in this drama are retired or move on, the game will never happen. The first game in the new Charleston Civic Center should be WVU Marshall, but it will be Concrd vs Univ. of Charleston in front of 350 fans. What a showcase for the multi million dollar upgrade.
When you two come up with the lie I posted, let me know. Now run along.You're in total meltdown mode, W. Va. State reject. No matter how many posts that you make today, or how many times that you hold your breath and stomp your feet, your lie won't go away, but please keep digging your Grand Canyon sized hole to reinforce what a complete and utter fool that you are....
"When were you on ignore .... a year ago on another board? Wow." You're not nearly as smart as you pretend to be, W. Va. State loser. You knew quite well that you had placed me on ignore on this very board, as you had to take me off of ignore to respond to my posts directly. I haven't seen a liar so caught up in his lie since Rich Fraud got caught cheating by Rita!
