Interview with CJP on ESPN radio

[ibeattetris]

Covers everything from the win against ND to building his staff to his time at Memphis. Good interview: http://m.espn.com/general/play?id=18585693

Okay, so is Okogie pronounced "Oko-g" or "Oko-gi." I hadn't questioned, but I heard Pastner pronouncing it like "g" during the interview.

From his bio on ramblinwreck.com, "(pronounced oh-KO-gee with a hard G)".

@Peacone36 tweeted JO.. he responded that it is the hard "g".

Check the Okogie RoW thread...

Kind of reminds me of nobody knowing whether to call KeShun Freeman, "Ka-Shaun" or "Key-Shaun." Thanks, by the way!

Or if Qua Searcy was "kay" "kway" or "kwah"

[Peacone36]

That's pretty awesome.

Kenny could be a great asset to the program if he has gotten it together. I don't know how his recent stretch in coaching went but hopefully it was better than previous times.

The national attention has been off-the-charts = makes me nervous.
ESPN website MBB page had CJP/GT as it's lead article this morning.
I'm letting my "over-the-years built-up GT paranoia" show here, but we won't be sneaking up on anyone anymore.
And, yes I know I should be ashamed of the glass-half-empty syndrome I'm showing.
If we beat Clemson (@Clemson) tomorrow night I'll promise to be over it !!!

We're playing with house money this year fellas. All publicity is great.

It is going to be very interesting to watch. Can Pastner and staff keep these guys focused and hungry? Can they keep the players from reading too much of their own press? It will be very important to how we finish...
