You are correct, sir.

Murvul and Mara-vul are both accepted.  Yankees and the guy that does MC and MHS' PA on gamedays are the only people that say Mary-ville.  He takes great pride in being the only one in East Tennessee to say it wrong.  I think he's both an English teacher and a contrarian.  Think of Louisville, KY mixed with Maryland.  Most people would say Loo-a-vul and everyone says Mara-lund, not Mary-land.

I used to have vanity plates that read MURVUL.  I would renew the tags, but my wife's demand for JMU plates trumped me.  I got the truck, she got the plates...

The truck? I think that you came out ahead.

Two games between members of the poll where the underdog has a pretty good chance to upset the apple cart (HSU@UMHB, Murvul@Berry).

Interesting that Randy Mac has their bye week before the season-ending contest vs H-SC.
