If I were lying in a foxhole in Afghanistan, with my leg blown off, I would want Huggins there...especially if he could give a Huggins hug and opium to kill the pain!

It was nothing but appropriate AND touchinig. Mr. Allen should have just given us HIS opiinion of what HE thought iinstead of using email he received to have a poll. Thats what I feel is in poor taste. Huggs, for whatever people think of his shortcomings CARES ABOUT HIS PLAYERS. If you were close to the program then you would understand this and you would also understand where he was coming from. When he got the job at WV you found out what a true West Viriginian he was. He cares about the school, he cares about his players, and he cares about the state. He was not consoling him about his injury...but rather the fact that Da, as he lay on the floor had felt that he had let Huggs ( he wanted to win a championship for Huggs) and the people of WV down. Not the school...but his coach and the people of the STATE....That Mr. Allen is what you dont get. That is what you should have written your article about.

The man cares about his players, that's been well documented wherever he's coached. Just because he drinks people want to paint this picture of him as a terrible person that doesn't care about anything or anyone. Anyone that voted for the last 2 options in this poll has to have an agenda against the man. Personally I thought it was appropriate.

Two of the choices in this poll are disgusting. Whatever you beef is with Huggins, let it go.
