First read, I thought the mistake was this was sent out before the ODU game. The whole "looking past an opponent" thing and all...
I understand it is a big event and word needs to spread, but I am getting "Troy" vibes from last season... Really hoping I am wrong.

Different people can pronounce words differently, but there are specific guidelines issued by the school that clarify the correct pronunciation of the name of the school.Yosef10 wrote:Oh my god!

I don't care how she said it for the first 253 years of her lizard life, but as soon as she got the job here she should have learned its proper pronunciation.
Not a serious offense, just an easy one to jab the end of my corncob pipe at.
