Moose-can
Mus-can
Moose-key-an
Mus-qwin
Mus-key-an
Moose-keyawn
Mus-keyawn
Moose-kyan
Mus-kyan
Moose-qwin
Mus-kin
Moose-kin

Or, apparently, all of the above. Weege said every single one of those during the broadcast. Now, don't get me wrong - I'm a fan of Weege, but shit, which one is it? Can't you take two minutes to walk over to the KTM tent and ask Marvin how the hell to pronounce his last name?

And while I'm being cynical, since when did Paris Hilton start announcing? Big whip by Deano and I hear "that's hot." Please tell me you did not just say that, Fro.

If only we could get 2 announcers who were perfect and never said anything wrong, or weird, and made ever person happy. Then we'd have to find something else to bitch about... Smile

I always thought it was Muss-quin. Not Moose-Can as they keep saying.

In French, "in" at the end of a word is pronounced like "an", as in "can"' but you don't actually say the "n".

I would say moose can is just happy to be racing and couldn't care less how they pronounce his name.

I understand technical difficulties - but this is just someone's name. Marvin has been here all season and Jason still doesn't know his name.

I believe earlier in the year Fro asked Musquin how to say his last name and Marvin was rather ticked about it and said it was Moose-can.

Mus- cah. There is no N at the end. It kind of ends with AH.

TMV (from France) wrote in another thread: ...

For those who know a little French and German, we pronounce Musquin "mÜsk - un".

"Ü" like in German, "un" like the number "one" in French.

So for us Americans, Musk-oon? Rhyming with goon (not implying that he rides like one)

Maybe we, like Weege, need to retreat to call him "the Frenchman."

I've got some video of Jeff Emig asking Marvin in the post-Steel City press conference on how to pronounce it. I'll dig that up later.

If he's already asked them, why does he pronounce it 10 different ways per broadcast?

I think it's actually Jason Why-Can't who pronounces it different all the time.

For fun? Boredom? Too many Rockstars? Too frigid in the TV truck? I don't know. I haven't watched one of the TV shows this year.



Marvin seems more amused by it all, and a lot less concerned than most in this thread. Wink
