Siataga impressive stat

I just noticed Siataga had 10 tackles last week against ISU. That is very impressive for a down lineman in the 3-4. Those guys are pretty much just gap fillers and it is usually the LB's the squirt through and make the tackles. Great job Siataga!!

According to the MSU press release his name is pronounced (see-uh-TON-guh).

And according to our PA announcer (who is improving) his name is pronounced Adam Fuller.

It is pronounced si-a-ton-ga. I had a hard time getting used to it as well.

Any name that belongs to someone Samoan and has a vowel preceding the letter G and then another vowel thereafter, it is pronounced with the NG sound like in "thing". Just something I picked up from my Anth professor.

His size, I'll call him anything he wants.

As I do with Mr. Bolton

(I just can't tell how you can tell we are saying it wrong on the board)

Was the Field Judge's name really pronounced Stoo-pid Mutha - F$#%@&? during the ISU game? or was that just the guy sitting next to me making that mistake?

WYCAT...too funny man...too funny

and SiaTONGA it is :-) I always thought it was the other way, but hell everyone else is calling him that...as will I...espcially every night as I sit around and sing songs around the piano with him...I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT NOW...but the boy can play piano as well as he can tackle.
