I would say that there's multiple acceptable pronunciations. I personally rock the "Nor-Fik", but "Nah-Fik" "Nah-Fuk" and "Nor-Fuk" are all 'local enough' in my opinion.

But for the love of god just don't say "Nor-FoLk"

Unfortunately, that is not the locals pronunciation.Thats Ted Alexanders pronunciation.
The proper pronunciation is Nawfuk.

I go with Nor-fik and was born and raised here. If you are under 60, I think that is the preferred pronunciation.

I don't drink
and I don't chew
and I don't go with girls who do
Nawfuk Nawfuk.

Guess you have to be over 60 to remember this one.

Anyone watching Penn State football fall apart? Maybe we hired the right guy .

ODU has been accepted into the NFLPA’s externship program. Pretty cool.

Sure can't hurt recruiting!

I can confirm that this is true but not sure of why yet.

Saw that and surprised me.

What? Wow! Crazy timing.

Whiplash within 24 hours of the win. Bad look with the bowl game coming up.

Hopefully it’s because he’s got a good job offer and nothing more.

Curious indeed.
We'll just have to wait for the explanation.

I’m not sure who initiated this move, but I think ODU can do better. Campbell’s play design and play calling was not on par with what we were seeing on the defensive side of the ball. We are seeing tremendous coaching on defense.

Doubt Rahne will give much in the way of an explanation. Wonder if Campbell knew this was coming? It'll be interesting to see how fast Rahne lands a new OC. Unless Campbell committed some type of behavioral miscue, Rahne must have been disappointed for quite some time.

Could be as simple as Campbell was all-in for Mac and continued to advocate for him even as Wolff proved to RR it was the right call. In time we will find out but one could hope that knowing he was planning to do this RR already has it covered. Of course, "IF" it was a behavior issue that would change our conjectures completely.

Our offense was pretty bad this year. To me it was QB but maybe Rahne felt it was coaching. Or it could be something completely different

It maybe that Rahne wants to initiate a different philosophy or focus and with all the free practice days before the bowl game it makes sense to make the move now.

Based on his "Let's go bowling!" tweet yesterday, I doubt it.
