Any news on Orukpe?

[AG1219]

Was Danny Ainge spotted at TRCC?

My guess:

His favorite food is now pizza.

Orukpe

Prepare to brace yourselves. Some will need to sit down.


No, he is not arriving this fall if you were thinking along those lines.

My friend, you are really ornery. I don't know whether to be excited or worried sick. Right now, my stomach is churning terribly.

Why did Cold get banned?

Clearly, he had strong opinions. However, I never saw a post, which crossed the line.

I am gonna miss him. I read his posts to Teresa all the time.

Props to Doc for reviving a Shockernet classic!

But man Doc, you do this a lot. You tell everyone that you know something, but you don't give the details.

Come on. You have our attention, now spill it.

:)

He is arriving this sumer? That would make me stand up and :yahoo:

I agree. I don't think he maliciously slams people (well, depending on the situation.) You just have to know his sense of humor.

I really hope it's just temporary. While he can be a pesky gnat at times, his mannerisms are solidified into Shockernet nostalgia.

After about a week or two, I'm sure he's learned his lesson. :good:

Agree with the Cold getting banned questions. I went through his recent post history to see if I could turn up anything and came up pretty short.

So what gives?

Since this is not a topic about CB I will explain so the issue can be put to rest. But please, no replies so we can keep this on-topic.

CB was pretty consistently belittling those who disagreed with him. He criticized the administration/moderation of ShockerNet multiple times in the open forums. (Some of the offending posts were removed.) He'd been temporarily banned before for similar reasons. This time it is not temporary.

Now, back to whatever EO news anticipation Doc is alluding to.

Best Advice: More time spent in the gym means more money in the pocket.

Coach was asked if he could talk about EO's progress. He said he couldn't, but then went on to explain how Johnny Coy redshirted this year and would be working on strength and conditioning now and would be available to play basketball next year and continue improving. He was actually using Johnny's situation to explain EO's situation, without actually talking about EO since the rules do not allow him to do so.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but for some reason I don’t anticipate this being ‘positive’ news. This ole optimist is slowly slipping to the dark side… I sure hope I’m wrong.

I’m trying to decipher this. Are we to assume he will be on campus this summer working out with current players? Can KR work with him? What are the rules?

[shockar25]

This has probably already been covered, but is it possible he could graduate from JUCO in December, and then be eligable for us in January?

Just a wild guess.

God I missed this thread.
