The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

‘The league’s been great. This is not.’

 

Confession time! I was in the air Thursday when West Virginia coach Bob Huggins had a teleconference to cover the week between games and preview the Oklahoma State game. After the win Friday, I asked Huggins if he was headed home, and he said he was and he wanted to get to a tournament at Morgantown High before he swerved into his issues with the schedule. So I wrote the post about his comments over the schedule, and then I had some people ask me why I brought that up when Huggins covered it on the conference call the day before.

Obviously, I didn’t know about that, and I hadn’t read about it anywhere.

Anyhow, add Tuesday’s postgame comments to the tally, and Huggins lowlighted the schedule three times in five days — and the Big 12 has its coaches’ teleconference this afternoon. Maybe I’ll ask Huggins about the schedule!

Huggins has a skill for manicuring a point, and the media has a habit of taking cues or giving time and space to that which arches the brow, but there’s a point here. WVU’s schedule isn’t the best, and the worst is yet to come.
