So the wave starts at the top of the stadium and swoops down on the field? Just trying to get the visual.

Owls is the way to go. More history rather than some scenery and its also like whacked out version of Tulane.  Also like others has said, not only would you have to change all the sold merchandise everywhere but also rip out all of the owl logos on campus. So talk about marketing all you want but it would be major cost to show everyone we have no tradition.

I dont think anybody thinks we should "rip out all of the owl logos on campus".

You know the name "blue wave" has tradition right?  It has been used at FAU since the 80's.

I agree, no need to loose the Owl - in fact make him more prominent.

Look at UM - they are the Hurricanes but have that stupid skinny bird for their mascot! For people who complain that our owl is not fierce enough, compare the UM to FAU mascots and we win easily!

In fact, with the new stadium and future TV coverage, our mascot can become famous! FAU, the ATLANTIC Ocean (Blue Wave) and the Owl will be remember by people around the country, and especially by recruits and their families!!!
