Why can't people call the stadium ALEX box, why do they refer to it as Alec Box. This drove me nuts with the anouncers tonight.

You really asking this question?

It is because ESPN hates LSU!!


Alec is the correct punctuation.

Because the family of Alex Box has said it was pronounced Alec.

I thought the same thing. It sounded like Alec Bach to me. He said it around the 7th right when they were showing a picture of the sign.

That's all fine and well.. but how can they just say his name is alex.. but we are going to pronounce it alec...

It's like saying my name is Micheal.. but I want it pronouned.. BOB....

Whatever... 12 to 9..

Another question, what was that Geuax word on all the signs at the LSU game? Is that the name of a player or something?

I think you can call it either way... i think his mom called him alec, but his friends called him Alex, so i think both are correct

but what is not correct is bach, that is pronounced as it looks BOX

With all the hoopla around the new box early in the year, it seemed like they covered this question during every broadcast.

Whatever the stadium is called, it will NEVER be ready to host a regional or super regional.
