Gamecock fans please help me understand

1)Why does Cocky stand shaking the bars in that fake cage? 2) Why do you guys think it’s intimidating get excited about it? Not even poking fun. Just curious.

Good questions. I would love to hear responses from coot fans.
My guess is many gamecock fans and athletes identify with being behind bars. They were intimidated when in the pokey, so think it must be intimidating.

best story i ever heard regarding their dirt ###### was at the South Carolina Intercollegiate Golf Championship. USuCk was leading going into the final round and was paired with Clemson. Who ever owns that bird brought it out to the first tee and had it all fired up. The Clemson captain went to everyone of his teammates and said no way we are losing to these cluckers. Clemson went on to win the tournament that day and I dont believe the bird has made it out to another golf tournament.

an appearance on that show.
Just a note of TV trivia ... the actress who plays Sheldon's Mom on TBBT is Laurie Metcalf. Her daughter, Zoe Perry, plays Sheldon's Mom on Young Sheldon.

Thanks. Didn't know that was her daughter. She plays a good part in the young shelton sitcom. Love the show, it's a hoot.

No one thinks it's intimidating. It's a person in a costume pumping up a crowd and having fun before a sporting event. Also, we don't think it's magic when the curtain is dropped and Cocky is suddenly there. You should "YouTube" most exciting college football atmospheres and you will see that most videos include both USC and Clemson. Both schools have impressive atmospheres (in the eyes of the unbiased) and that's great.

Reading is fundamental. Never wrote that you should "YouTube" "USC entrance." I wrote for you to search "most exciting college football atmospheres" on YouTube. And FWIW, no one can own an acronym. There are tons of OSUs, UTs, MSUs, AUs, UMs, CUs, etc. Such a infantile dig.

Southern California. And, yes, they won a lawsuit against your beloved coots for infringing on their logo. Therefore, the Powers That Be down at that middle school in Columbia modified the acronym to UofSC.
How is that for reading comprehension, little brotha?

That is patently (pun intended) false. So Cal won a lawsuit stating that South Carolina's interlocking SC on its baseball cap was too similar to So Cal's and so South Carolina could no longer profit from the sell of the logo. The reason So Cal sued is because several celebrities in LA were showing up to Lakers games in the Gamecocks baseball cap instead of the Trojans. They were apparently unaware it was no So Cal's. There was never a lawsuit about the acronym or the letters. It was about the design of the letters and about trademark law.

However, I am still right. USofC is how YOUR leaders refer to it.
Nice try, though.

That Rooster could serve the coots much better in a deep fryer then on someone’s table with collard greens, black eyed peas, mash potatoes with gravy sweet potato pie and cornbread.

I briefly “dated “ a former cocky once, it was the first female cocky in history the school , it was not long after I was out of Clemson, she was actually a scholarship athlete (swimming) that did the cocky bit for fun, her nickname was “chicken” by her friends as she had long and skinny legs, so she really was a chicken in a dress. She actually was a really nice girl, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I guess that’s what happens when all you do is laps in chlorine pools your entire childhood

I find it appropriate that UofSC uses the 2001 theme as their entrance. In the movie the theme appears the first time primates use a bone as a tool signifying an advancement in intelligence. But we are still waiting to see that advancement at UofSC!

Lots to process here….
How do you tell the difference between a “female cocky” and a “male cocky”? I guess you must have checked under the skirt??
I didn’t know chickens could swim.

To truly understand how absurdly idiotic the whole thing is.....i actually felt embarrassed for them the last time i was there.....the whole ### thing was so cringe worthy i just wanted it to end. And they trotted poor old lattimore out there to help on leading the cheers.....my God it was the most awkward, awful thing ive ever had to bear witness to.
