<p>anyone know what that means?? i keep hearing bowdoin people say “go u bears!” but i don’t get it…haha</p>
<p>bump. i’m curious too.</p>
<p>any current students want to share??</p>
<p>polar bears. school mascot.</p>
<p>right, but why “go U bears” vs. “go bears?”</p>
<p>does the ‘U’ stand for something, or just short for “you?” </p>
<p>haha i probably appear to have a negative IQ right now.</p>
<p>hahaha ya i don’t get the U either…</p>
<p>well, one is boring and the other is interesting. at least it got your attention, right?</p>
<p>It probably is YOU bears and not U bears. </p>
<p>It’s probably like “you guys,” but “you bears.”</p>
<p>U bears is in reference to polar bears’ scientific name, Ursus maritimus. I don’t know why that’s the cheer, but there you have it.</p>
