    Hey, if Joseph Cao can pronounce his name Gow, Auburn fans can pronounce their stadium Jerdan.

    My wife is Vietnamese. She, her mother, all her vietnamese friends and everyone they know swear up and down his name is pronounced Cow. They say there is no example anywhere in the entirety of the vietnamese language where a c is pronounced like a g. It drives me nuts.

    Anyway...

    So Auburn, has a stadium named after a rabbit, calls themselves the tiggers but has a bird as a mascot? That would 'splain it.

    there is a street in Shreveport - Jordan St. - that is pronounced Jurdan, Jerdan, etc.

    not sure why, but it has been that way as long as I can remember and if you ask anyone from Shreveport how to say it, they will say Jurdan.
