Because "Mitch King" Is So... Boring

by Adam Jacobi on Jun 26, 2008 3:25 PM CDT in Iowa Hawkeyes Football

Iowa's most celebrated player of 2008, at least before the season begins, is undoubtedly defensive tackle Mitch King, the stout, crazed senior from Burlington. We like Mitch King around here (even if Ohio State doesn't), but he just doesn't have a great nickname yet.

Yet.

So that's where you, fair readers, will come in as part of our first poll of BHGP 2.0! Excited? Sure you are! Go ahead and vote below, and feel free to add your own suggestions, even though they're definitely worse than ours.

(and this is what the "Ill Mitch" thing is about.)

We always call him...

We always just call him Mitch “Wake up with the” King. But I’m open to change.

Mitch "King Friday"

To Quote Wiki entry on the neighborhood of make believe (mr rogers):

King Friday XIII – The imperious monarch of the neighborhood. He is relatively egocentric, irrational, resistant to change, and temperamental, although open-minded enough to listen when told he is wrong. He has a fondness for giving long-winded speeches and using big words. Despite these qualities, he’s basically a good regent, capable of summarizing the lesson he has learned after something has gone wrong. King Friday’s trademark greeting: “(Name of visitor), I presume?”, to which the visitor responds, “Correct as usual/always, Your Majesty/King Friday.” Lady Aberlin however, would say Uncle Friday instead as she is his niece.
