Pronouncer, please
The Siena basketball team takes on Northern Iowa this weekend in its "BracketBuster" game at the TU Center. Whatever obstacle UNI might pose to the Saints on the court, the real challenge might be for the broadcasters: the Northern Iowa roster features names such as Kwadzo Ahelegbe and Ali Farokhmanesh.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.

And that is why they put numbers on their jersey's. So instead of calling Ali Farokhmanesh Ali Falafel-cash you can just call him number 5 and not expose your love of Middle Eastern fast food.
As a side note, there is a freshman player on UNI's team that is 6' 10" and a junior that is 7' 1". It makes me wonder what they're eating in Iowa and where I can get some. At 5' tall I could stand to grow a few inches. I kind of want to go to the game and get a picture of me standing between the two of them...I think it would be funny.

Try announcing roller derby names...
Luckily the Albany All Stars and the Hellions of Troy have some of the most clever debry names going.
Such as Scarbucks and Glamthrax!
