Is it me or does Jim Ellis say "Luke Elexander"

[stateu1]

With and "E?" Drives me crazy.

Jim says a lot of wrong stuff that we all ignore because he’s been around forever and is the last bridge to Jack. I love Jim but it’s more for nostalgia than actual current ability. I really like Bart Gregory a lot more. I’d also love it if Neil Price did baseball too. That dude is great.

Might be the sixt time I've heard this.

Here's one for ya. Why does almost every announcer say "Alec Box Stadium" when it's clearly spelled ALEX. (Probably b/c "Alec" is a city in LA...(Alexandria)??)

 

[eckie1]

What “unning” is the “Mussissippi” State baseball game in?

With and "E?" Drives me crazy.

He has his own spin on a lot of words. Sophomore = "Sophamore", Error = "Era"... etc. That said I still enjoy his style for baseball.

The football and basketball experiment with Jim was not good.

 

[stateu1]

Never said I didn't love him. Just pointing out an irritation.

 

[Primetime Dawg]

Either his “irritations” have become more frequent this year or I am drinking less ... seems to me he is trying too hard to sound like Harry Caray. I like Jim, but I like Jim for being Jim, not Harry.

What about the way he rolls his "threes"?

The sixt**

 

[Original48]

It’s time. Actually way past time.

I think the administration knows it’s coming and that’s why they had a color guy join him this year.
I can’t stand the color guy though.

 

[The Peeper]

Agree, the color guy (Jay Powell) has good insight but seems to try too hard and over does it badly. I haven't liked that experiment

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Jim also says “Ken-tocky” ever since I can remember.

 

[EarlDawg]

But first, we need to get rid of out PA guy for baseball. He is embarrassing and just bad.

 

[West Tn Dawg]

Better question..........
Who gives a **** how he says something??????
I guess you all are perfect at pronouncing words. Damn, some peoples kids!

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

What about the way he rolls his "threes"?

That cracks me up when he does that. He sounds like the tootsie pop owl with the way he says three.

 

[SixtInning]

I'm a bit partial to the way he introduces the frame that comes after the 5th. **

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Leave the man alone.

Listen to Bamas own Chris Stewart for two whole innings and come back with your comparative notes. Jim is one of the good guys, glad to have him.

I'll hang up and listen.

 

[bbqbully]

The most glaring mispronunciation to me was Eee-ric DuBose

 

[Hail State]

The worst by for is how he says Florida. Watch for it this weekend. “Fluhhh Da”

 

[lanceharbor7]

Try dealing with people from central Louisiana. Alexandria is "Elleck."

With and "E?" Drives me crazy.
