I talked to Bob Huggins a little while ago to ask him how he feels about coaching next winter against UC at Fifth Third Arena. It went something like this:

Me: Bob, what do you think it will be like?

Huggs: I haven't thought about it.

Me: Well, could you take some time now to think about it?

Huggs: I have to get in the mood.

Me: Well, can you get in the mood?

Huggs: I don't know if I can do it that fast.

On and on it went with Huggs finally saying that the people in Cincinnati have always been nice to him and that he assumes they will be terrific again.

Of course, I had to ask him if he would wear the yellow suit.

"I might," he said, "maybe a variation thereof."

And of course I had to ask him if he took a lot of grief for wearing that thing last year.

"I took some from media types," he said. "But I always take grief from media types."
