        Predictions

        'Wonder if GM will say anything about Orupke on the Shocker TV show tonight on Ch 22 TV since it's getting so close to the deadline in order for him to play 2nd semester? Or, is there a radio show tonight, too?

          I believe the "deadline" for him to show up and play has been said to be about December 31st. That's not going to happen though. Unfortunately...

            Orupke

            Subgod, how do you know that for sure? Isn't that speculation on your part to say that so definitely? I've never seen anyone from the WSU athletic department come out and say something definite about it. Surely, it looks more and more like that may be the case, but until we hear for sure, it seems we should remain patient.

              While agree I think the last part of your post should go to those who are way to optimistic about him still.

              IMO its better if we just forget about him. but again thats just my opinion

                From what we've heard from the athletic department it's almost certain that he won't be here. From what I've been hearing I'm not expecting him. I'd love for my thoughts and info to be wrong but I have a handful of people I completely trust when it comes to info and they haven't given me any reason to be hopeful. So if he's not here by late December he isn't going to play this year.

                  Wow -- Something on which I agree with lawmaker: is that chilly feeling due to the weather or is it hell freezing over?

                  Orukpe will show up whenever he shows up, the coaching staff is fully aware of his importance and what they can do to get him here, and they're doing what they are allowed to do to move things along. Of those things we can be certain. Everything else is pointless speculation and guesswork, because they know what's going on and we don't.

                  So why waste time on it except to give lawmaker the satisfaction of being right (or me for agreeing with him, I guess)?

                    Why don't we stick Okon's tail on a plane and go over and see what the heck is going on and get a plan ?

                          You need to talk to your contacts in the athletic dept and see if they still feel the same. My hunch is they are down playing the situation, 'cause next week is going to be a great week. :yes:

                                I have noticed in the recent interviews of Coach Marshall that none of the interviewers has raised the EO subject.

                                The reason I found it odd is because there are not too many subjects of more interest to Shocker fans all across America and from pole to pole and from sea to sea.

                                I have suspected that Coach Marshall has told the interviewers in advance that he did not want to discuss the subject.

                                Nothing is worse than unfulfilled raised expectations. It always stings.

                                No, I am not mind reading. I am just guessing.
