McKeon
In Harbaugh's press conference he called McKeon, McKEEN or maybe Mc-KEE-on. Last year the commentators kept pronouncing it Mc-QUE-en and I thought it couldn't be. How do you pronounce his name?
And to avoid being a one reply post, what other Michigan names did you have a hard time learning to pronounce? Tshimanga "Touchdown Tim" Biakabutuka is always a favorite, but pretty easy once you get it.

Just realized my title is lame and can't edit. Sorry.
August 14th, 2018 at 4:57 PM ^
We did too. At least you got there. Edit will come one day...

It's a traveshamockery!
In college, we made up our own version for tomfoolery, shenanigans and horseplay. There were many days that were full of tomshenanihorse.

Don't be so wordy with your titles. Work on being short and concise, in the future.
August 14th, 2018 at 3:21 PM ^
Just like you my friend.

Who is hotter, her or the blonde?
Obviously Marsha Brady over both.

Blair was - in the words of Judd Nelson from "Breakfast Club" - "pushing maximum density" by the end of the show. But I'd still take her over Joe.
August 14th, 2018 at 4:12 PM ^
Blair had a good run on Survivor a few years back. Looked good when adjusting for gravity.

Not so fast my friend, Nancy had that tom boyish look that Kristy McNichol had which I so had a crush on as a teen. Sigh.

How do you pronounce Uche for that matter? Is it Ooch-ee?
August 14th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Ooch-ayy
August 14th, 2018 at 3:29 PM ^

August 14th, 2018 at 3:38 PM ^
From what guys like Hudson and Bush have said in interviews, it sounds like opponents are going to pronounce his name, "OUCH!"

You son of a bitch the just-a-last-name-during-fall-camp thread title is a heart attack at first sight
Edit: I think I called Breaston as “Bree-ston” once or twice and was indecisive between “uh-vahnt” and “ay-vahnt”
August 14th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
I thought he had gotten hurt too. Boo this title!
August 14th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
I was running the Gentry and Eubanks starting tandem scenario through my head already...it was fine I guess
August 14th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
Both are wrong BTW. The correct thing to do was to yell "STEVIE B" at the top of your lungs on every punt & kickoff return or whenever he got in the general vicinity of the ball.
Or at least that's what I did.
August 14th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
agreed-- in a climate where players have recently died, this post gave me an unnecessary moment of pants-shitting.

August 14th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
I dont know why but this thread just reminded me that Brent Musberger used to call Jason Avant by the name of Anthony Avant in every game.
August 14th, 2018 at 4:07 PM ^
Musberger perving on AJ McCarron's girlfriend is easily one of the funniest things I've ever seen on live TV. I will always remember him for that :D
August 14th, 2018 at 5:40 PM ^
It was still the first quarter and everyone but the most delusional ND fans knew that game was already over. Brent had a lot of time to fill.
August 14th, 2018 at 3:28 PM ^
Did anybody else notice when Harbaugh was talking about the WR's, in both his interviews with media and BTN - that he "didn't want to say any names to keep them under the radar"?? He mentioned individuals in every other position group.. is there somebody we don't know about?
August 14th, 2018 at 3:30 PM ^
We only have like 5 total on the roster so I am not sure he is going to be able to keep anybody off the scouting report.

Ha coach macs boy...I think he's got a brother on the team now too
August 14th, 2018 at 3:37 PM ^
There's one guy that I heard some rumblings about in the spring. He's the hard working type, sure-handed, and really has a lot of grit in his game. I forget his name, but people were comparing him to Wes Welker, Julian Edleman, and Fred Biletnikoff.
August 14th, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
Peoples-Jones, Black, Perry, Martin, Collins, Schoenle, McCurry, Bell and that's it. That is everyone on the team. Not really, but the names we have heard of. I think the transfers of Crawford and McDoom show you that Martin and Collins are going great. Schoenle, we know what he is (Martin-lite + blocking). Bell and McCurry might be the ones he is hiding, but those names are sneaking out regardless of his efforts.
Other Walk-ons:
Jake Martin
Brendan White
Ethan Deland
Tyler Grosz

So. many. weapons.
Add in the 3 TE's as well as Evans splitting out and Ambry possibly playing both ways - we'll be scary in open space.. just need to find that open space.....

Official website has an audio link to someone pronoucing it close to your Mc-Que-en:

No.
how about Olatide Ogunfiditimi?
August 14th, 2018 at 3:29 PM ^
Follow Harbaugh's pronunciation. Either he knows what it really is, or you can act like Harbaugh by purposely mispronouncing a players name because that is how you think it should be pronounced and you have no time to think otherwise.
Other options:
- Come up with a nickname, like ol' mickey boi" or the "Massachusetts Blocky/Pass Catcher"
- Pretend you two are real good friends and refer to him as Sean.
- Go all EA Sports NCAA Football 14 and refer to him as "TE #84"

It's pronounced Justin Feagin

It's spelt Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove.
