This year, Hunter has promised to go barefoot at any game where the opposing coach does the same. There have already been two takers — North Dakota State's Saul Phillips and South Dakota State's Scott Nagy. Unfortunately, that doesn't leave much time to recover between the games on Feb. 10 and 12.

But Hunter, who is 3-1 all-time in barefoot games, isn't worried about his feet or wins or losses.

"I'll always do it on Martin Luther King weekend, whether we're home or away. And if we're away, I'll do it again at home another time," Hunter said. "It's really about losing your comfort level a little bit, and when I get off the plane in those countries and I see those kids, it's like Christmas Day because their eyes just light up. You just can't believe it."
