News and game summaries from a life-long North Carolina Basketball fan(atic)
   

UNC Stat of the Day:


Gin-Yard or Gin-Yurd ?  
I've heard a lot of commentators butcher Marcus Ginyard's name. They either pronounce it Gin-Yard or Gin-Yurd. The TV announcers during the UCSB game pronounced it Gin-Yurd, but Woody Durham and the rest of the radio crew pronounce it Gin-Yard. I tend to defer to Woody in these situations.
Comments:
last night on espn dicky-v (dick vitale) called him gin-yard all the time, he is probably right, but i like the way gin-yurd sounds though...
 
I recommend against leaning on Mr. Durham. He repeatedly refers to Frasor as Frazier and Hansbrough as Hansborough.
 
I hear everyone calling Tyler Hans-bor-ough not Hans-brough.
