I doubt they want to be named after those nuisances. Highlander fits SFU well since they're literally on the highest land in Burnaby. Which is why they get fog games.

I like Highlanders, excellent. I know of one high school in the Spokane area that has that nickname, no one else.

Oh Hell No!! The Canucks have an Orca on their jerseys and how is that been working for them???!! The Canucks apparently will bring back the black skate jersey soon and it is very nice, for SFU to be named after whales.... too many bad headlines are possible!!
A month long road trip though hasn't helped them at all this season. Didn't they also get two President's trophies and reach a Stanley Cup Finals with the Orca jerseys?

I have a great memory of my athletic accolades. I just don't seem to have any newspaper clippings or trophies to prove it. But just believe me. I was a star.

Hopefully the new nickname will be something to represents British columbia, Canada. I'm so tired of bulldogs bears, eagles, in the new catch phrase of the day The Nighthawks in Northwest nazarene. I'm not sure what a nighthawk is but I don't think they frequent the Boise/Nampa area that much.

I like that, Highlanders although the clan I have ancestors from were Lowlanders. That also works as the TV show Highlander was filmed in the area.

Originally posted by SINGLE MALT View PostI kind of hope that it stays with the Scottish motif. My bet is "Highlanders" as it is Scottish and the university sits atop Burnaby Mountain!! Unfortunately it is unlikely to happen because the powers that be up there have not ever listened to me in the past regarding Head Coach hiring and it still remains a bit of a crapshoot although I do hope that Mike has better success than his predecessors. What I would hate to see is the Athletic Dep't bending to the pressure of the Indigenous peoples up here and using some unpronounceable indigenous name. Heaven knows that our Indigenous people have had to deal with numerous injustices such as Residential Schools, but a nickname of a University Athletic's program is not the best way to make restitution.

Originally posted by tsull View PostJust googled animals unique to British Columbia. Lots of animals (and mammals) to choose from, in and out of the water. Hopefully it will be unique. The Marmot is up there, so is the Black Bear (taken by Univ. of Maine, I think), and others. How about the Whales? The Canadian Geese? The Great Blue Herons (though they'd have to change their school colors probably).

Why one shouldn't go on memory for long ago results. The 1986 final game of the season for Western Oregon was at home vs. Simon Fraser, which won 43-42, knocking a then-7-1 Wolves team out of the playoffs. Not in Burnaby and not a beat down, but a great win for Simon Fraser.
