Q&A With King
Q: As the university mascot you've been around for about 30 years. What happened to your predecessor, the human "King?"
A: He was delicious. Methodist realized that I'm the real king around here.
Q: Are you optimistic about the upcoming football season?
A: I'm very optimistic! From what I understand, the football program has been recruiting since last season. I'm hoping for a better season than last year.
Q: What about school spirit? Is that going to improve as well?
A: Definitely! With the new programs, school spirit should be ten times better than last year.
Q: Will you have anything to do with the boost in spirit?
A: ROOOAAAR!
Q: Do you have any thoughts on the new marching band?
A: The marching band is AWESOME! It'll be good to have a real halftime show after all these years.
Q: We've noticed you have a lot of wardrobe changes, how many uniforms will you be wearing over the course of this school year?
A: Quite a few, at least four or five.
Q: That's a lot! There won't be any wardrobe malfunctions will there?
A: No, the cheerleaders will be helping me out. They take good care of me.
Q: How is your relationship with the cheerleaders?
A: We're very close, like one big pride.
Q: Do they help you maintain that glorious mane?
A: Yes, I spend a lot of time on my appearance. It takes 50 brush strokes before every appearance for me to feel performance ready. It's a very rigorous process because I don't use any hair products. C'est au naturale!
Q: Do you see any cubs in your future?
A: Well, family weekend and Take-a-Kid-to-the-Game day are both about a month away, so I might just steal a few.
Q: On a side note, who do you think would win in a fight, Simba or Tony the Tiger?
A: Definitely Tony the Tiger. He eats Frosted Flakes and they're GRRREAT!
Q: So there's no lion loyalty there?
A: No, my only loyalty is to Methodist.
Q: What do you eat now that you're domesticated?
A: I start with a five pound steak for breakfast, either beef or wildebeast. Then, I have a side salad for lunch because I'm watching my figure. Finally, for dinner I have another salad with a hyena or antelope on the side.
