Watch out for the Gak

Florida has a 6-11 freshman named Gorjak Gak. Being the PA announcer for the Magazine Rattlers for the past several years, I am frequently intrigued by how I might call a particular name after a score. This one might be a little difficult, assuming it is pronounced like it sounds. It would be hard to keep from sounding a little like you had just swallowed your gum or were about to throw up or something. Nothing against the young man's name, but it would present some interesting problems at the microphone.

Incidentally, he is a nephew of Longar Longar, who played at Oklahoma.
