I was watching a replay of Arizona State-Northern Colorado and the announcers were talking about how this player for Northern Colorado had the second most letters in his first and last name combined in all of Division I. The announcers never said but I guess the player for Gonzaga, Pierre Marie Altidor-Cespedes, has the most letters in his name. No earth shattering info, but I did find it interesting.

The announcer said it so fast and only said it twice so I cannot actually help you. I checked Northern Colorado's web site, but it does not have a pronounciation guide for his name. All I know is that the h is silent in his first name.

Did some research on the net, his last name is pronounced Pana-YO-Toe-CO-PO-los. His real first name is actually Athanassios.
