West Virginia Basketball Coach Bob Huggins apologized for his religious, anti-gay slur he made on a Cincinnati radio station.

Monday afternoon Huggins went on WLW radio in Cincinnati with popular talk show host Bill Cunningham.  After a little back and forth tongue-in-cheek joking, Cunningham brought up his alma mater Xavier, which as the former Cincinnati Bearcats Head Coach was Huggins crosstown rivals.

Beware of the graphic language from the radio show.

A few hours after the audio was released on-line, Huggins offered an apology.

Then his employer West Virginia University did the same.
