Could there be any worse announcers from ESPN? Two players down and they keep on rambling. Geez.

The game is a joke. The opponent is a joke. The field is teal. The kickoff is at 2:30 on a Monday. No one can pronounce our damn name right including refs and the Myrtle Beach Business lady.

I’m not sure why we’d expect the announcers to be any good.

This is free App State football on ESPN and that’s about it.

Good points except about the incorrect pronouncing. Hell, our own chancellor pronounces it wrong.

She did it 1 time... At least she’s teachable

unforgivable

The announcers have shown us plenty of love! The story of the plunger is now national

I like the announcers, they like APP State, they are used to radio.

Everyone not from the area gets one freebie. She had hers and can be shown grace one time.

We finished strong and Peoples had a monster performance. I'm not really looking for things to complain about. GO APPS!

Time to put away the Harp....ing & celebrate a team that has won 70 games in the FBS in 7 years since moving up , and breaking our own current records of most initial bowl games won, as well as consecutive bowl games won.We Are App State! That's all I have to say about this thread.

One time that we know of. She should know how to pronounce her employer's name correctly.

She should but decades of speaking a certain way is not going to be gone immediately. I have been living in the Triad for nearly 3 decades and when I pronounce yellow it is obvious I was not born and raised in this area but somewhere about 90 miles west of here.

Better a plunger than a fire extinguisher.

Speaking of Triad pronounciation, what's up with VIE-eena? I always laughed about that when I lived in Lewisville.

Are you referring to a canned meat with sausage in the name or the capital of Austria or am I missing something else entirely?

Thought the announcers did a good job when i saw the replay today. We had trouble hearing the ref at the stadium. Also, in Buncombe County we say “VI—E-NE.

There's an area of Forsyth county, on the western side of Winston, that is referred to as Vienna (there's also Lewisville-Vienna Rd). Locals pronounce it Vie-eena, instead of the more common pronunciation (like the Austria version). It always made my wife and I laugh.

Good, valid points, but you aren't chancellor of our university and making big bucks for being so. Someone should have cautioned her before she signed the contract. At least, to my knowledge, she hasn't called us Appy State.

You should give it a rest on pronunciation. She did it initially but has corrected it. Is that all you got to complain about?

At my Freshman Convocation in 2006, then Chancellor Peacock openly admitted that he mispronounced the name of our school quite a bit until someone politely corrected him. Does that make him a terrible person as well?
