It’s a tradition almost as rich as fight songs, tailgating, bowl games, and AP polls: fans complaining that the TV broadcast has no clue as to anything to do with your team.
Think back to all the cringey moments you’ve had with national broadcasts coming to Mizzou. When they pronounce “Faurot” wrong. Or when they call Cody Schrader “Kris Abrams-Draine” because they both wear #7. Or just flat-out mispronouncing names that we’re familiar with. Eli “Drink-a-witz”, anyone? Maybe even a “Gary Pinkle” Or, hell, go back 20 years to “Chase Daniels” and “Sean Witherspoon”.
