I have never heard any native Louisianian pronounce the “C”... always silent but every commentator says the “C” at the end.

The announcer on SiriusXM today was saying LeBlahn - I was like "nope, that ain't it, hoss."

Wonder what the team media guide has for the pronunciation?

It’s”luh blaugh” everywhere in south Louisiana and any other pronunciation is not correct.
