Did you answer Q or Coo?

I was quite surprised that the dignitaries were pronouncing it "Q".  It doesn't matter, but when I see DATCU, I read it as Dat-Coo.

Oh, and by the way, I never thought anything about TCU in the name until folks started bringing it up on here.

Nothing awkward about it. It’s pronounced Dat-Q stadium.

Everyone needs to lighten up.  I welcome the abuse.  It means people are paying attention and are jealous.

Also, cheesy trash talk like this make sports more fun.

I was curious about the pronunciation so I found videos from DATCU like this one, which shows it's "DAT-Q".

The name will take some getting used to, but two of the founders of DATCU were professors at what was then called North Texas State Teachers College, so it's a good partnership that should benefit both DATCU and UNT.

Actually it didn't take time to get used to. I'm already used to it.

I remember when Apogee sounded strange and took some getting used to.  It won't take long for the DAT to become familiar.  GMG

Here is an idea.  How about TCU use their real name...Texas Christian University instead of the mere letters.  You know why, in this not offend anyone world they rarely use the full name of the school.  SMU should do the same.

D Mag or Douche Mag?

I like the Q.

I can only imagine the horror for Coog fans every time the ECU Pirates come to town. I say that with an ample amount of sarcasm. Must be a slow news week over at D magazine or, since they’re in the business of trolling now, D-Bag magazine.

ECU fans try to say it's Touchdown ECU stadium.  Its lame when they do it and more lame for this witer with DATCU

Imagine being so out of touch, that your cultural references are from a 30-year old SNL skit.
