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

Talked to the cornerback Friday and had a really fun 10 minute conversation, just him and me, about all sorts of things about this season, this bowl game and this ride he’s been on for three years now at WVU. I walked away thinking, “Man, I had no idea. I should have been talking to him all along.”

And now I’m doubly disappointed in myself. Say I had been talking to him throughout this season. Say it was two seasons. Surely I get invited to this spectacle …

Obviously, there’s a lot wrong with that picture because the NCAA has rules that prohibit the names and likenesses of college players being used for promotional purposes. WVU forward/guitar player Deni Kilicli knows the rule really well — remember, he couldn’t tell people where he was playing gigs and a band nearly got him in trouble for saying Kilicli was scheduled to play with them at a show. From what I thus far gather, Jenkins had no idea this was happening and WVU moved quickly remove his name off the party. This matter should be brushed aside. This shouldn’t affect his eligibility for the bowl at all. This should encourage me to get to know him better because that looks like a party.
