Kind of like Athens, IL (pronounced Ay-thens) and San Jose, IL where the "J" makes the "J" sound and not the Spanish "H" sound. and the "E" is silent.

Thanks for the proper pronuncitions(sp?). I used to live in Athens -- more than a little confusing when you try to explain where you're from.
You Central Illinois guys help me out, my father-in-law has made mentioned two great names from the area.
One is the Bunnies -- I cannot remember what town they're from, but there's a mascot that will strike fear in the hearts of all challengers.
The other is the BlueBoys -- I believe that's Carthage.
Arkansas Tech University is the WonderBoys
