That's right, I said KOOOOONG!
Internet 101: If you want to fill up your comment field, leave someone off a list.
Thanks to the time differential, I woke up to half a hundred notes from outraged Gonzaga fans, irritated that I had left Bol Kong off my preseason name list.
Honestly, I can't blame them. While I clearly laid out my laziness in the text preceding the list, this is still an inexcusable omission on my part, because I have been aware of Bol Kong for over a year now. Heck, the whole roster is full of Canadio-American goodness.
Please forgive me, it's not my fault. I went to state school.
The only solution is for all of you Zags fans to come back to the site daily throughout the upcoming season, to make sure I don't screw up again.
Deal?
For the record, Bol Kong is a fantastic college basketball name. In addition, the Sudanese/Canadian is a classic small forward, a position that is clearly lacking on the team. We'll have to redshirt Scooter Gillette or something. But Bol (Mr. Kong?) is on the team for sure.
It takes a big man -- not as big as BOL KONG, of course -- to admit the error of his ways. Thanks for this fun post and the original list. I leave you with a little joke:
"Bak Bak"
"Who's there?"
"Orange"
"Orange who?"
"Orange you glad your name isn't Nimrod Tishman?"
