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.

Not sure about pronouncing, but spelling Jake Rudock remains one of my greatest struggles.

It's Puh-Ram-Us!

Home of the high school from which Jabrill Peppers, Juwann Bushell-Beatty, Rashan Gary and Drew Singleton graduated.

Get this memo to Brian, stat, before he strikes again.

Sorry, I don’t know how to link. But, on MGoBlue.com if you go on to the 2018 football team roster, you can tap on to each person’s name for a bio. If there is a question about pronunciation of the player’s name a “SoundCloud” tab appears under his name. When you click on it, an audio plays of how to correctly say the players name. It says Mc Cue’on ...not Mc Key on.

Thanks for the assist, West Quad!

No. Thank you House Mother. Now I can avoid horribly named posts when "Shithead Fuchs" or some other strangely named guy signs with the team.

This bothered me tremendously last year. It should be Mick-Key-En. I could accept Mick-Keen. Mick-Que-En is wrong even if that's how Sean pronounces it.
August 14th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
I don't think it's three syllables. It's two, like McCune.
August 14th, 2018 at 4:03 PM ^
The M is silent.
August 14th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
no, the McK is silent.
it's pronounced "ion". I'm positive!
