I didn’t say it would ruin his life, but it’s a tangible change that he’s going to feel. He probably had that money earmarked for some project that he can no longer invest in.

Yeah, his life isn’t ruined. Do you think it should be? For a word?
I feel like some want him drawn and quartered. That is the only way to satisfy.

I think it does because I think it is being conducted by LGBT groups so they don't have as much of an incentive for letting him make it a joke.

Something that just gets more and more crazy to me is that this entire episode (the homophobic slur, insulting Catholics, suspension, becoming a yearly employee, reduced salary, mandatory donations etc.) happened because Huggins either made the whole thing up or exaggerated it so much that he might as well as made it all up. Because none of it makes sense, and no one remembers this happening. Huggins is an ******* and was coach of Xavier's biggest rival. If more than five people did it, people would remember it, it would have been reported on, and probably most Xavier fans would have said they participated

It's honestly more believable that he made the whole thing up so that he could use the slur than that any part of it happened
Seems like Xavier fans don't recall the "rubber penis" event. For a huge rivalry game, you'd expect that would be a huge part of the lore.

Either it was a small group that did it, and it wasn't widely noticed, or Huggy is entirely exaggerating for the sake of storytelling and to give himself an opportunity to throw a slur in about it.

I don’t know, he’s kind of a clothes horse. A lot of navy sweatsuits.
I saw a video interview of him during the pandemic at his house. Has a super sweet outdoor kitchen/patio area. Commercial grade looking appliances and huge outdoor limestone fireplace. On the other hand it looked like he was saving money on haircuts and razors

Huggy’s story claimed the Xavier nuns didn’t remember it either. He was yucking it up for WV fan consumption. What a jerk.

When I am in my late 60s I hope I have the luxury of not having to worry about looking clean shaven and well kept most of the time.

Most likely. And this would have happened probably a decade before camera phones and social media.

I doubt there's any evidence of ISU fans chanting "NO MEANS NO" at Pierre Pierce, "ROGAINE" at Greg Brunner, or the condoms people threw on the court that night, but it happened.

I could see it happening not long after doors during warmups so the vast majority of fans in the arena and no TV viewers saw it.

I feel like throwing dildos onto a court should have been something that happened in Semi-Pro.

I agree. Those things all happened before phones, but we remember them and they're part of the rivalry's story. Xavier fans seem to have zero memory of this.

Just makes it all the more odd that Huggy is bringing it up all these years later. Clearly it's something he's mulled over a lot. If I were an X fan, I'd be proud of how they're STILL rent-free in his head.

No, his life shouldn't be ruined.

I am not proposing he gets fined more than $1M or get more of a punishment than he is already getting (depending on how long the suspension is), I think I've been pretty clear about that. Suspension from coaching would have more impact on him than $1M because I would guess he cares a lot more about coaching than money, especially at his age. The $1M fine is more symbolic, unless it goes to WV LGTBQ as someone already mentioned.

I don't buy the "money earmarked for some project that he can no longer invest in" as some sort of a tangible change that he is going to feel. He can just get a $1M from his bank account and cover that project if it means that much to him. Zero effort. He probably has a guy that does it all for him anyways.

Bob has been at WVU since 2007. If he averaged 2 million a year that's over 30 million in earnings in just his time at WVU. Plus all of his other coaching jobs and if he has any other endorsements. Stock market has been great most of that time too. The one million dollar fine is more than I thought they would do but it's not changing Bobs life in any appreciable way
