pronunciation help on L-E please!!!

[crzyjournalist03]

Can anybody tell me how to correctly pronounce Liberty-Eylau? I've seen it written hundreds of times, but never actually heard someone pronounce it.

Is it "I-Loo (like tooth)", "EE-Lou (as in ouch?") or something completely different?

I used to say "E lou" but from some relatives that grew up in Texarkana I've heard them pronounce it "I loo" so that's what I've been going with.

i say it I-Loo... when i was in the Astrodome for the Mathis game years ago, they said it I-Loo too

[Txbroadcaster]

it is pronounced Eye-Low But you will get a ton of variations

I was there too. :) If this year's team as is good as the team from '99, I think they'll be polishing another state title in a couple of weeks. Sad, because I really am pulling for Ingleside. :(

This one is correct I believe. Cajun influence on Eylau.

[IHStangFan]

yeah, I've been saying E-Loo also, so I-Loo or I-Low...hmmm...thanks guys.

When we played them early this year (and beat them handlely, I might add) I asked some fans at the concession stand how to pronounce it properly. They said:

Eye-Low

Just to make sure I'm reading it correct,

it's Low as in downlow?

[Txbroadcaster]

yes just like down low

[wimbo_pro]

Yes.

[Sftball4Life]

yes - as in down low - not up high

can you believe we actually made t-shirts giving the pronunciation this year?? that cracks me up

"eye-low - now you know"

that's what the shirts say....:D

[wimbo_pro]

Good luck to you and the LE team, sftball...your team has really come back this year to rise to the top...keep it up!

[crzyjournalist03]

Thanks guys!

That's correct!

[Sftball4Life]

Thanks wimbo-pro !! This is the game we lost to a great Gainesville team last year - and I never imagined those big ole' boys could fall - but your kids tore them down. We would really like to get past this round - and we would really LOVE to bring home a state championship. But we're proud of our kids no matter what. They've stood tall and fought really hard to get here.

Good Luck to your Texans as well!! They have a GREAT team and a wonderful fan base to support them.

That is what some said last season.

Eye-Low... rhymes with High-Low

[CalallenWildcat]

Ha! I never even thought about this being hard to say! It's Igh-Low (High-Low without the "h" pronounced)

EDIT: Should have scrolled down more, LOL...looks like people had already given the answer.

Why are you guys only answering half the question????
