Happily, BRPH has this, so neither site nor its creator is not dead.
Most importantly: how does he pronounce it?
DEE-azz?
DEE-us?
dee-AZZ?
Any Spanish majors out there who can give us a clue?

How the heck did I screw that up? I mean, it's not like he's from Brazil, which would be the common mistake. Says right there he was from PORTUGAL. Sigh - must. get. more. coffee.
"Hey Harvard. Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-as."?
Quote"Grandpa always told my mom to put me in hockey, and dad always wanted me to be a soccer player."
As a result, Dias grew up playing both sports, and finally made his choice last year, relegating soccer to fun sport status.
"My dad wasn't too happy, but he really wants me to get a scholarship," said Dias
It's just not Dad's week...

Final S in Portuguese often comes out sounding like SH. So if he pronounces it with a real Portuguese accent, it would come out sounding like DEE-ush.

It is pronounced "is" not "as" or "ush" although it is spelt "Dias" we say it as if you would spell it "Diis" Hope this helps you out!

He must be on Facebook; PM him and ask him how to pronounce his name. If he has a sense of humor he'll write back, MAH-di-son. Or wonder if we have time on our hands. This is another name where gender is unclear (Madison is a top-five girl's name now) and where first and last can be confused.

I do believe George was a Corneil, not a Cornell..Since both are Cornellians, all is good!!::whistle::
"DEE-IS"
Well, I was going for players with unusual first and last names, But all the suggestions are good.
What? you don't see many guys named Lance in central PA???::nut::
I always felt Tyler Mugford fit our style (or at least, his style) perfectly.
