Maybe it's an urban legend, but the story I heard is that his family name was pronounced Thees-man until the sports marketing folks at Notre Dame got him to change it to increase the odds he would win the trophy that rhymes with Thighs-man.

Only because he changed the pronunciation of it when vying for the Heisman. Before that, he pronounced it theezman. Egotist.
