    Thuggins is in full-blown "I-don't-give-a-fuck-anymore" mode at West Virginia. He was always one of the better dressed coaches at Cincinnati. Now he either wears the gold pimp suit or the black Hefty bag.

    Huggins could only outdo that gold suit if he ever wore an Elvis-style jumpsuit with sequins.

    I remember being at a WVU game when he wore it. The suit distracted me from watching the game.

    Would Davis also qualify in the best-dressed print guy category?

    Did I miss where Jay Wright was a participant in this year's festivities?

    As for worst dressed, hard to go wrong with a classic like Majerus.

    Shaka Smart was mentioned above - he has a pretty hefty clothing allowance in his contract. Not sure if that's standard in that line of work. Now I'm fully on record as loving the guy, but you'd think when you make $1.2 million a year you could buy some clothes with part of that.

    Car, country club, clothing. Here's 1.2 mil a year and you really don't have to spend any of it!

    That's not actually a terrible idea. Like I noted above, you are selling your program. It's a business expense, you know? And I bet the tab can run up pretty quickly. Now, at some point it probably slows because you reach a point where you're just accessorizing or adding a piece here or there. But that initial investment of a few suits, a few shoes, a closet full of shirts and ties, a watch or two ... that could easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars if you choose to do it right. To a coach, it's a recruiting expense. Or should be.

    I bet TV personalities don't pay for their own clothes, and they make good money. What are coaches nowadays if not TV stars, as well?

    Back to Seth Davis: He had a bright red tie and a hideous deep blue shirt. Looked like a middle schooler's idea of what "dressing up" entails.

    In case there are any on-line editors out there:

    I was kind of curious about this, so I clicked on the link, got the ad and the link that said "skip this advertisement" which didn't work, so I left. Thanks to those of you who posted pictures.
