I feel like the pronunciation on the first name should be ken-ay? Seems like that way they have it could be also read as Kena, but I am not a linguist.
 
I would often complain he didn't return more. I think Campbell says no return and that's that sometimes. I just am of the opinion it was too often with someone like Kene back there.

Yeah especially if it's all about margins and flipping the field can be so critical in close games.

Noel started coming along but he should have been let loose earlier too.

Matt has a short leash. Hopefully he lightens up in some ways as he ages with the program. This year will do wonders for his perspective. He now has a litmus for a season with wild expectations. I only see us getting better. Next year might be a step back in some ways but our record wasn't great this year and I could see us out performing in that respect.

I can't imagine ISU pronounced it wrong the entire time... someone should tweet at Kene or the Vikings PR and ask for clarification.

It may have just been easier for him to not correct everybody. I think on Hard Knocks a couple of years ago Tyrod Taylor basically said that everybody is and has been pronouncing his name wrong for basically ever.
