Pronunciation Question

Post by BGDrew »

I know on the Podcast, Grant pronounced Coach Van De Walle's name Van-duh-wall-ee. Before I get on the radio today, I just want to verify that's the correct pronounciation.

Grant's right. It's Spanish for "Wally's Van", actually, but though it's spelled as three "words", it's all pushed together kind of. (At least that's how I've always pronounced it.) "Vanduhwally"

I think the volleyball media guide is on BGSUfalcons.com, and there's a pronunciation guide in there.
