Tom and Nan have both been loyal King's fans for several years, with numerous warstories to tell ... Tom grew up in Sacramento, and cut his teeth on such early Kings stars as Mark Olberding and Reggie Theus ... Nan, a college hoops aficionado, joined the fold a few years later, but was forged for life when her favorite college player, Corliss Williamson, was drafted by the Kings. Since then, they have spent countless hours at games both home and away, viewing games on channel 31 (how many Carl's Jr. and Southwest ads can you take?), or staying up until the end of Sportscenter for 2 seconds worth of Kings footage ... in more recent years, they both took their shows on the road, returning to graduate schoolNan in Ann Arbor, MI, and Tom in Omaha, NE. Although they both managed to convert many of the locals to the fold, they found Kings news was hard to come by outside of California's capitol (at least, until the last 2 years ... ), and happily, they are back in town to witness the inevitable coronation firsthand! Looking forward to seeing some of you at a game soon!
