Vols Pronunciations

[crusse10]

In case you were wondering whose name our Public Address Announcer would be mispronouncing this year, its' apparently going to be Dontavis Sapp.

Seriously, though. He has a pronunciation guide in front of his face that says: don-TAY-viss, and he can't say it correctly.

Yeah, I'll miss his "Football Time" call, but other than that...gtfo.

 

[volfanbill]

He has never once correctly named Marlon Walls.

:boredom:

 

[DaphneVol]

Oh cruise10...we won buddy!

 

[44DivePlay]

Don't care either but laughed when called Marlon Walls and said Marion Walls. Dangerously close sounding to Mary Anne Walls, which would have been dangerous for our PA announcer...


On a side note, I don't remember hearing "pay these prices and pay no more" this game. Maybe I just missed it

 

[orangeluvr]

Always room for criticism eh.

 

[TechnoVol]

In before all the Bobby Denton apologists... :whistling:

I've criticized him since I learned he was inept at his job.

I can't remember how many different ways he pronounced Tauren Poole's name, but none of them were ever correct.

He did "pay these prices."

Ron Zuke. Lol loved it

 

[bigdaddy]

It's 3rd... And the river.

 

[GAVol]

It's amazing. He was Marion yesterday.

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

He just needs to pay more attention to the game and less attention to his deep-fried snickers bars.

You're thinking of Blob Kesling.

 

[JohnnyBall]

Hes like 80..maybe you could call up there and help him out

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

You're thinking of Blob Kesling.

Yeah...that's what this thread is about isn't it. im confused now.

Bobby Denton is the man. Having your name mispronounced by him is a rite of passage in Neyland Stadium.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

This thread is about the PA announcer. Bob is the play-by-play guy.

sorry bout that, I was lost.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

It's all good in Algood

 

[ibvolman]

I also heard him mispronounce Neal's name a few times, as in Reejon, and Roojon.

 

[VolInsider]

Yeah, he also added an extra syllable in there on Neal.... like "Ray-jaw-wan". I almost spit water when he said "Marion Walls". :shakehead:

 

[volboy81]

I thought he sounded a little "looped" last night. Numerous slurred words & the usual mispronunciation!

Marion was John Wayne's first name.
What's the danger?
