logitech009 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Hey, I have been reading this board since the beginning of the season, and I just was wondering something; How in the world is this kid only 19 years old and already coming out of the draft? Did he neter university early or something? seems odd to me......
DrDawkinstein Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 just read any of the articles linked on the board. they explain the whole story...
Albany,n.y. Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Q: Why is Okoye only 19? A: Because he was born 6/10/87, making him 19 until he turns 20 later this year. The real reason is (from NFL Draft Scout) "Born in Nigeria, Okoye was tested into the ninth grade as a 12-year-old when his family moved to Huntsville, Alabama. Okoye signed with Louisville and was playing at defensive tackle at only 16 years old, making him the youngest player in the country."
DrDawkinstein Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 he's never gonna learn to use a message board now, albany!

ndirish1978 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Donahoe would shock the world and Okoye's father, stating that the genes must have come from somewhere and vowing to prove yet again that he is smarter than everyone else in the world.
Typical TBD Guy Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Donahoe would shock the world and Okoye's father, stating that the genes must have come from somewhere and vowing to prove yet again that he is smarter than everyone else in the world. How much you wanna bet TD was the one who set up Okoye's parents on a blind date some 20 years ago? The man is such a GENIUS at scouting talent that he can scout them before they're even born.

Beerball Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 His parents did the Nigerian Nasty 19 years ago. based on the gestation period of the average female of the species wouldn't that be more like 20 years? just askin...
logitech009 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 One place to find it[/url]another another another lest we not forget wikipedia Thanks really. If that was sarcastic then you've wasted alot of time finding these links just to prove a point. If you aren't (and it is hard to read expression on message boards) then this is a sincere thank you. I was looking at the Okoye posts but there are about 189323.32 of them on this board and almost all of them mention that they are 19, but only a few were offering the explination as to why. Too all those that are frustrated or angry at me, why don't you just let the topic die and ignore it. Given the rate at which people post at this board it would have probably been on the second page within four days. To those who helped me, thank you. Hopefully my next post wont get people so angry at me. Go bills.
DrDawkinstein Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 no ones mad kiddo. its just some regular message board (foot)ball busting. but ask a group of people to do research for you, instead of maybe just googling it, will always gather some sarcastic remarks. no sweat.

Far be it from me to fuel the flames, but that was your next post. Nobody's angry, just funnin around. If Joe were here he would be angry though.

inkman Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ha okwell my next post starting......................now Google...do you use it? Don't feel so bad, I got this dumped on me my first week on the board.
inkman Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks really. If that was sarcastic then you've wasted alot of time... When you get to work at 5 am with nobody of any authority coming in for another 4 hours, you tend to get a little restless in the morning.
generaLee83 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 His parents did the Nigerian Nasty 19 years ago. I'd hate to see what that involves, probably alot of vocal clicks and tones with an audience of sheep and goats.
BoondckCL Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I'd hate to see what that involves, probably alot of vocal clicks and tones with an audience of sheep and goats. A Nativity scene? Nice. Maybe this kid is the second coming of christ like some people think/wish he is.
Mikie2times Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 based on the gestation period of the average female of the species wouldn't that be more like 20 years? just askin... Okoye's mother never had a gestation period. He was born one week after conception with all the intangibles.
