Northern ILLINOISE
Who is the announcer from the Wyoming game that couldn't pronounce "Illinois" correctly and why didn't his partner let him know he was wrong????

Annoying...

It is more than wrong. It is ill-informed and makes him sound ignorant and uneducated. It’s like people from Nebraska and Iowa who pronounce Missouri as “Missoura”.

Speaking of announcers, is the Big Voice PA guy who used to call games for the better part of the last 20 years gone? I think he also worked for some minor league baseball team as well.

I don't know what happened to him, but this guy we had this week was horrible. Do they get paid or is that just a volunteer thing?

It's funny you say that. I was at Waubonsee Valley High School a few weeks back for a football game and I could have sworn their PA announcer sounded like him....

I forget his name but I think he was a former NFL player.

I tried to rewatch the broadcast but the video keeps kicking me out of my account for some reason. I want to say his last name was Davis but I'm not completely sure about it.

I believe the old PA guy was named Chris Toltzman. We will have to see if he is back for the Maine game

This. It was so annoying all game long. What's even worse is all of the NIU branding staring them in the face asking them to say NIU (which is easier to say) instead of Northern Illinois. I was embarrassed for him.
