Bamba Fall unfortunate holiday

Postby DirtyDozen123 » Fri Sep 29, 2006 12:00 pm

As you may or may not know, Bamba is muslim and is celebrating Ramadan this entire month. For this holiday, muslims must fast from 6 in the morning until 6 at night (while the sun is in the sky). Basically he won't be eating much food from now until the season starts. So there goes our chances of Bamba gaining any significant weight before the Mustangs start play in early November.

I usually get nothing to eat from 6:00am to 6:00pm or very little at best. I have no problem gaing weight. I simply eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and all snacks between 6:00pm and 10:00pm.

I feel quite certain they'll figure out a way to get some food in him. Hell, send him to Snuffer's for late-night cheese fries. Sure worked on me.
HOORAY, BEER!

Bamba might be muslim but I know for a fact that he will be eating whenever he wants. I know Bamba and Bamba will follow his religion but he will eat when he is hungry.

He's an athlete and he's not that dumb. Athletes need to eat sufficient amount of food in order to keep up a constant work out

Akeem fasted for UH and his rookie year, while Hakeem fasted during his career with the rockets.

I'm not aware of Hakem's fasting. :lol:
