Poll: Most Annoying Mispronunciation

[joober jones]

With the season over, here's the first of what will be many OT threads/polls. My question is this? Which mispronunciation annoys you the most when it comes to the names of the players on our team (2013-14)?

 

[Santini35]

Holly Rowe added a new one... Giffard

 

[tcf15]

Shabozz, by far.

Maybe she thinks he's Kathie Lee's son.

 

[rman726]

Neal Griffey

 

[BluffCityHsky]

Clark Kellogg attempting to pronounce Brimah, called him Amada Bromah. Why they retain him every year is beyond me. You'd think he'd do his due diligence and know what he's talking about in that role. That entire staff was embarrassing the whole tournament. Special K my #$@.

Neal Griffey

Niles Griffington III. Heard it on the BBC, I you not.

 

[intlzncster]

I heard "Nap-eee-ay" once. I actually laughed.

This is the work of Ben Eaves.

Just as an FYI, at the first UCONN-UofM game at Fedex this year I was behind some apparent boosters. One of whom kept yelling Bozz, not Bazz. Completely clueless. As much as I malign the national media for inaccuracies. That was just pathetic from our own fans.

 

[CTPride]

Heard that too.

Shabozz is really annoying.

But the worst one has to be calling DD DeANNdre. Like Deandre isnt even an uncommon name, how can you mess that up?

 

[HuskyNationJE]

Digger Phelps calling Giffey "Gee-Fye"

 

[mauconnfan]

GRIFFEY or OLIVER

 

[MattMang23]

GRIFFEY or OLIVER

Lol yeah. Kevin Oliver.

 

[BoatShow]

Shabozz is egregious and I hate it. He's an all time great college basketball player. READ A PROGRAM

 

[Mano]

How about even Jim Nantz confusing Lasan and Amida multiple times? And I could swear I heard the sideline reporter flub Ollie's first name by getting ahead of herself and mixing his first and last name and calling him Kelly Ollie.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Griffey.

 

[gorbowski06]

also shout out to constantly spelling it "Boatwright"

 

[CTMike]

Yeah Griffey should be up there. Stu Scott was also going with the Napeer, which I found interesting.

 

[intlzncster]

I think we are recruiting a Boatwright too.

I've heard play by play guys do this more than once.. or just switch the two...

I think he was having indigestion and was thinking of Bromah seltzer.

 

[Huskygamble19]

Griffey and Napeernthe worst.

 

[Dove]

Kevin Oliver or...

Kevin Ali
.

 

[Joobie]

I was at the PEP RALLY yesterday & there was a college girl behind me saying "Shabozz", I wanted to turn around & smack her one!
