When you say "Tulane", which sylable do you accent?

[TDs3nOut]

Tooo'lane, bishes!

 

[iowajerms]

TOO-lane

 

[bamabear82]

2-lain

 

[TDs3nOut]

TOO-lane

Pretty sure that is the way it pronounced locally (i.e., in NO), so I take that as the "correct" pronunciation. Gotta admit, however, that I am used to saying to-LANNE.

 

[HammerDown]

The proper pronunciation is too-LANE

One of my cousins goes there, which is strange, since she's from northern California.

Nah.. as in that team MS State plays for a good blowout aka "scrub"

When I start it in a sentence, I usually use TOO-lane. When it is in the middle or end of sentence, I usually use too-LANE.
