Oregonians say Or-e-gun, not Ore-e-gone despite many outsiders who say 'gone.'

So it seems logical that Gonzaga could possibly start with Gun rather than Gone, even to non-Utahns, couldn't it?

Ask their fans, not us

Do you think their fans know the correct pronunciation?

Could it be worse than asking a bunch of people who say moun'n?

The Inland Northwest has pretty clear speech, with very little accent. Up there,

They probably migrated to Basin City from Utah.

Do they live in the boonies of Washington? I grew up there on the western side

If you voted for "Gun-ZAG-uh," can you tell us where you're from? I'm guessing

They don't. They don't say Gon-zay-guh. Post this poll on the GU board with that

Gentleman Stan

Most Gonzaga students and alumni that I know say Gone ZAG uh.

They use the nickname ZAGS (as in zig zag), not ZAYGS
