Talk:Bruin

No Boston Bruins?

This disambiguation page is missing a link to the Boston Bruins hockey team. Should that be here? Lukejodonnell (talk) 23:21, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

This page previously redirected to bear but as it is not everyday usage in any dialect of English I know, I thought an explanatory page was in order. Choster 17:39, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Is basic definition factually correct?

I have never heard an accurate definition of Bruin that says that it's a baby bear. (I went to UCLA, and this is one of those questions that is always discussed with incoming freshmen...) Anyway, I believe that the definition is simply a brown bear.

Encarta's definition is: bear: used as a name for a bear in folklore, fables, and children's stories

Several other web dictionaries list: large ferocious bear of Eurasia.--Krimsley 03:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe this clears things up: "Bruin" just means the colour "Brown" in Dutch. In some children's stories (fables), Bruin is also the name of the charachter of a Bear. Maybe that explains the link. - 3 Sep 07, Frank (NL) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.29.110.151 (talk) 13:34, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

"Bruin is the pregnant bear, named for his color." Pregnant? His? JimInRoses (talk) 21:27, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

High school sports

Are high school sports teams really notable? In my opinion, the list here is just taking up space. -M.Nelson (talk) 23:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
