Auburn Football Roster Pronunciation Guide

Have you ever wondered how to pronounce someone’s name on the roster? Well, wonder no more!

Have you ever screamed at the TV while a play-by-play or color analyst butchers a player on your team’s name? Have you been at another school’s stadium and their PA announcer struggles with pronunciation? Have you ever argued with your friends over just how to say someone’s name on your team?

I know I have. I can think of numerous experiences among my favorite teams. For Auburn fans, memories of Verne Lundquist attempting to pronounce C.J. Uzomah’s name have to bring back horrifying nightmares.
