I don't want to continue this argument, but this isn't correct. If Huggins was retired, then fine, I get your point. But Huggins is an opponent now, and somewhat of a rival at that. If you can't take someone joking about him, then too bad.

Joking is one thing. The banana costume is hilarious, always will be. Constant personal shots at the man any chance people get is quite another. Frankly it is a little pathetic.

I agree. Huggins damn near gave his life, literally, to build this program from very little into one that gave me great pleasure to watch and usually a great deal of pride to be a part of as a fan. He'll always be a Bearcat, one of our greatest in fact, in my opinion. I think this stuff comes off as petty, ungrateful, classless and almost always unfunny.
