Is this joker what we want the world to associate with our university? He’s a narcissistic camera whore and embarrassment. I wonder what Tilman and Renu think about this clown detracting from their efforts and investment.
To make matters worse, he spent several minutes in our section trying to get the camera’s attention (and blocking our view). As a ticket buying spectator (assuming he actually bought a ticket), he’s welcome to attend. Just leave that garbage at home and be respectful of real fans who came to watch the game.
Love the Hub Cap Guy. He’s part of our culture like it or not. As long as he continues to be respectful I got no problem with him. He spun his rim when I asked him to last night while I recorded a video.
Not looking to pick a fight - I see him as a detriment to our shiny new toy and an image that we are trying to burnish, especially in light of decades of slights by our former SWC brethren.
Serious question: Which would you want to see on national TV in association with our university:
a) NBA stars, MLB stars, etc.
b) Our student band, Cougar Dolls, etc.
c) An obviously brain-addled moron (purple drank anyone?) with a grill and a chrome hubcap
Would not surprise me if Hub Cap guy knows how to hook someone up with the hard stuff if someone is looking lol. I guess it is ok to have characters at UH. Hey the Cleveland Indians in baseball have drum guy, I guess we have hub cap guy.
I think these characters add to the atmosphere and obviously give people like GenTwo something to bita*h about other than parking, food, arena, wi-fi…am I forgetting something? If HubCap was being interviewed as a representative of UH that would be different. But come on…have some fun.
