KINGSFANS.COM!!!

Whoooooooo!!!!

Wasn't that great? I talked with the producer before the show and while there was not time to do a shirt presentation to Krista, Henry & Steve Marsh (who filled in for Koz) while on air, they would at least mention us. We did the presentation after the HPL, just before game time. They were all very appreciative, Steve especially. He said he was going to wear his every time he saw Kozimor.
