I like it. Guy seems calm and settled. This is his time. Go out and take it!

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

He might well not end up playing well. But transfers from the “P2” should certainly NOT be over-awed by a game in our slightly less “intense” environment. The way things are looking, including the weather for Saturday, this first game for him might have fewer people than a typical practice.

sounds like a rebel who wants to dump the French pronunciation of his name which comes with a surrender connotation and American-ize it... I like it! Always thought that had Shocky gone with Jack-Louis as his last name he would have never had to go to Akron...

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

He sounds like a smart kid. Jurkovec did not but not sure that matters a great deal.

 

[pittdan77]

That pronunciation is about as Pittsburgh as you can get. I had no idea.

 

[Pittnerski]

So weird his dad putting out pronouncing videos that contradict his

 

[CJsE]

However he wishes it pronounced, if he comes out and plays like Jurk then it will be pronounced “b-oo”

 

[PittPanther44]

If this guy sticks, yinzers will pronounce it like Lemieux.

 

[Pitt2009]

In France, Veilleux is pronounced like Mario’s last name. In French Canada, it’s pronounced with an “r”.

 

[HailtoPitt]

I wonder what the offensive gameplan will be? Probably run, run, (penelty) short pass attempt... and repeat until NC has a 21-0 lead. Then after being in a big hole, Cignetti will finally try to throw (when everyone knows what's coming) but also thrown in some play actions that don't fool anybody, and Va-Air will get destroyed by that Louisville DL.

 

[Babyarm9]

Sadly, we all know the game plan will mirror your description.

If we’re lucky there will be some variety for the 1st drive before they stall for a FG.

 

[Jakey_John]

If this guy sticks, yinzers will pronounce it like Lemieux.

There are hundreds of people affiliated with the NHL that pronounce it the same way yinzers do.

Lem ee ux?

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

Well…I’m still not totally sure how to say it, but it would be great to see the lad literally make a name for himself tomorrow (in a good way, please)

 

[Frabjous]

Well, Versailles is called ver-sales and Dubois is called do-boys so why the hell not.

 

[Jakey_John]

Lem ee ux?

Surprisingly, yes. It’s more common than you think.

In France, Veilleux is pronounced like Mario’s last name. In French Canada, it’s pronounced with an “r”.

Then why didn't we call Mario Lem-yer?

 

[Fk_Pitt]

So weird his dad putting out pronouncing videos that contradict his

Seemed to roll his eyes at his Dad.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

im 100% convinced him and his dad are basically just F'in with pitt fans and media with this. no doubt in my mind they are laughing their asses off at you guys for this continuing to be a conversation piece.

 

[Pitt2009]

Then why didn't we call Mario Lem-yer?

Good question. My guess is because we’re used to hearing Standard French, not Quebec French. Similarly, most Americans are more familiar with Latin American Spanish than Castilian Spanish. For example, Penelope Cruz’ last name is really pronounced “Cruth”.

Should be “pour” not “for”

As in “pour me another brew, eh?” since he’s Canadian

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

what do you call an asian girl with one leg? Irene.



and on that note, i'll see myself out..

 

[PITT 76]

I guess he can pronounce it however he wants. I have a lot of Cajun friends and they pronounce it Vay yew.

Of course, I knew Tony "Dor set" when he was Tony "Dors it."

 

[Parkview57]

How do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky? Lewis-vill or Looie-ville.........


.......Frankfort

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

It’s loo-ah-Ville KY but it’s Lewisville, Co.

Both spelled the same.

 

[Jakey_John]

While we’re talking about Marios how much do you suppose that Nintendo guy charges for plumbing services nowadays? He’s pretty famous at this point.

And by the way....Louisville is pronounced lou-a-vul
