Hokie Gajan ("Guy-john", sort of, except with a Frenchier "j")**the color commentator*** for the WWL Saints radio broadcast. Okay, what's next? Give me a New Orleans-y-er name than Hokie's.
* For the moment, let's stick with actual names of actual people and see how it goes.
** One might object that, as stated in his Wiki-bio, Hokie's from around Baton Rouge, but it doesn't matter. New Orleans names and South Louisiana names flow into and out of each other.
*** "Color commentator"—that's new-ish lingo for me. (You know this Saints-fever is infectious if I'm making fine-grained distinctions between the roles of sports radio broadcasters.)
Hokie was born in Baker and went to high school there.
ReplyDeleteIn honor of our late departed central city studio neighbor, I nominate Illinois Central Stevenson. That was his real name - on the street he was "Old Man" Stevenson. So, I guess the obit would read: Illinois Central "Old Man" Stevenson.
ReplyDeleteHokie must have connections to Va Tech. They are the Hokies!
