Dude...this is the Huggins thread. It's enter at your own risk as far as I'm concerned. Plus, it's probably been said/thought before.

You do realize that "Stop jerking off Ralph" and "Stop jerking off, Ralph" are entirely two different things, right? That one little comma can make a real big difference. Although, I guess, both have me confused and disgusted.

This has got to be one of the dumbest statements I have ever read...anywhere.
So what is the "Cats fan" that you morph into that no longer is a person?
Seriously time to think about implementing an age limit on these forums.

I think he said it correctly, or at least how he intended to.
He’s coming off a 1-point loss at Louisville on Wednesday night and has only eight scholarship players available for the UC game, which is sold out. Casey Mitchell, his leading scorer, remains suspended for violating team rules and won’t play Saturday, according to Huggins, who was very complimentary about the UC team he’s about to face.
“I think they’re really good,” Huggins said. “I think they’ve got great depth. They’ve got a lot of guys that can play. Yancy (Gates), I think, has had a heck of a year. When you think you can throw (Ibrahima) Thomas and (Darnell) Wilks in and (Justin) Jackson and (Biggie) McClain, they’ve got a lot of guys.”
I’m writing the full story for tomorrow’s paper. It will be on the web site later today.
About 10 minutes after we finished talking, I was driving to meet a friend for lunch when my phone rang. It was Huggins calling back.
“Hey, Bill,” he said. “Can you do me a favor? I don’t know what you’re going to write, but could you make sure you mention how much I appreciate the people of Cincinnati for how well they treated me over the years?”

Julie, I don't want to get into the whole, are you someone else thing, but you categorizing BCN as more "Pro-Mick" to me sounds like sour grapes. (maybe cuz you were at, one point, banned?) I'm not sure you could be more wrong either.
Trust me, a good majority of the people that make up this board left BCN b/c of a-holes like me who questioned why we ran out 487 starting lineups last year. (You know I'm right Mick Lovers) Well that, and the loads of trolls, which has been cleaned up for about a year. (Thanks, Lobot)
Seriously though, both sites are Pro-Mick to an extent (Isn't that the idea?) but you're wrong if you're ripping BCN for people being too rough. If anything it's the polar opposite of here.
Sometimes I kinda like it here b/c of that... Watch this: Hey Greatone, eat shit! (???) Michael Jackson sucks! (???) (Seriously, is this cool???) That would not fly over there, trust me. I would say it's harsher over here, in that respect. Not sure why you get the impression BCN is not respectful.
You can say whatever, just don't be too big an asshole, try to have a conversation, and all's good. You'll find a smaller group over here, and I think almost everyone came from over there. There is no hidden agenda on either site, so I'd thought I'd just try to clarify that.
And for the guy who asked if it's a club (Juile, this may have been your husband but I'm not sure) it's not. 1.) I got a 3 day ban for telling anbuc to go play indoor soccer or something, probably no less than a week ago. 2.) I spent almost an entire an entire day screaming at Alum about Steve Lavin. 3.) There's a couple of Lilith Fair X fans running around here sharing recipes and Dave Matthew Tab 4.) Have you seen how i talk to Ralph?
Argue your head off, either site is pretty cool about it. If BCN just happened to block your IP, and this board gets old, there's always ncaabbs.com

Wow huge praise. Thanks Man. About TGO, need to talk to people, need to talk to people..
President Nancy Zimpher had much to do with UC getting into the Big East, call Mike Tranghese and ask him.

Mick going to Louisville to work for Pitino was an excellent career move. It got him the Murray State job and then the UC job.

The earth is flat.
Mick has not got UC to the NCAA Tourney because of the mess Huggins left the program in.

Honestly, it's stuff like this that makes me mad. MDW said it earlier, you can say what you want here and I like that. However, it seems almost that with the more leeway that was given, the more respectable people were? Or maybe it was that we are trying to have good conversation, and don't just say stuff like what Ralph said above.
It honestly added no value to the perfectly good, thought out conversations going on. I think this was clearly an attempt to bait people. That's what I don't like about Ralph, everyone was cool talking about huggins/cronin. There was some great points on each side of the "debate." This post by Ralph is ridiculous, and it has gotten people mad.
If that's how he feels about Huggins, he can at least talk about it in a reasonable way, not the way he went about it. Maybe go in depth. It's almost as if he was mad we were all getting along, and over whatever he had to say, so he needed to say something again.
