Is there any way that we could create a thread and post it at the top of this board with the pronunciation phonetics for certain players and recruits? I'm not suggesting a formal, Webster's Dictionary style phonetics definition for every player/recruit name, just a layman's style pronunciation breakdown for any names that may not have obvious pronunciations. For example, Michal Menet, Karamo Dioubate, Amani Oruwariye and Brian Gaia all have elements in their names that I'm not sure how to pronounce correctly. These are only a few examples. In the past, I believe that the BWI writers have posted this type of information in specific articles from time to time when appropriate; however, I don't recall a comprehensive, annual list ever being prepared. If this is an unreasonable request in the consensus opinion of the board, I will gladly accept the requisite ridicule that is certainly forthcoming. I just want to be able to pronounce these guys' names correctly in the context of PSU football conversation with other folks. If no one else here shares this same interest, or everyone else here already knows how to pronounce all these names correctly, then I apologize for wasting the time of anyone that may have read this!!...Thanks folks!
