Catholic and Lycoming have some good names.

I have absolutely NO idea how to even attempt to pronounce that name. That's gotta be a fun one for opposing announcers  :)

If Eric gets involved in many plays, whatever they pay the Catholic play-by-play guy, he deserves a raise!

(A number of years ago, U of Michigan had a star running back named Tsimanga Biakabatuka.  One of the announcers threw in the towel and started calling him 'Touchdown Tim'! :P)

Actually much easier than it looks:

i will believe the pronunciation is correct when Pam Ward says it, not until! ;)

In army basic training we had a guy with a name like that.  We called him "alphabet".

Pep, with his imagination, was a bit amused as he was perusing NCAA Stat leaders. It's just a no-brainer that the leading pass receiver in the country, averaging 10 catches per game, would be Hanover's Daniel Passafiume. With a slight Italian accent, it's always a "pass..eh...for me!"

Get the fight song ready!

His Twitter name is PassIt2Me or something to that effect. He's in on the joke.

I have to look the Lyco ones up but I remember liking some off that roster.

Here it is:

Parker Showers
Zack Czap (sounds like zak-zap, right?)
Kabongo Bukasa
Craig Needhammer (I'm sure he's heard em all)
Tyler Botchie (WR; doubtful he's a long-snapper or holder)

There are more, but those are my top five. I feel lame for giving my kid a generic name.
