The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

The unusual suspect

For the record, the latest official status of Mr. Tevita Finau… who, by the way, was the fourth wiseman. Unimpressed by gold, frankincense and myyrh, he presented the baby Jesus with the gift of beard.

WVU is hopeful junior college defensive end Tevita Finau will show up in the next week or two now that he’s finished his course work with an online class through BYU.

The NCAA has approved Finau’s amateurism and he can apply to WVU once he receives the needed grade from the online class. Finau must have his Associate of Arts degree and 40 percent of his credits toward graduation (junior eligibility status) completed to be accepted at WVU.

As I’m being told, things look good and he most definitely should be here long enough before camp starts to learn his way around town. The only possible hangup is the credits-toward-graduation thing.

If the guy doesn’t have that 40 percent completed by now, he probably doesn’t have any business at a Division I school. He will then go back to Hawaii, head to Big Kahuna Burger, order a Big Mac and get it.
