No, it's uniqueness makes it a cool mascot. It's one of my favorites.
^This. Of course, they could always change it to something original like the TIGERS or BULLDOGS.

Also 680 doing the Bulldog roundtable three mornings a week sucks as well.

Bro if you live in ATL, you just gotta live with it. It's their main fanbase. I mean who do you think they're gonna cater to? Tech?

that isn't referring to an illegal, immoral, disgusting practice? I was listening to 680 the fan this morning, and there was brief mention about this subject. It's my opinion that they should just be called the South Carolina Chickens. This way they aren't promoting an illegal activity, such as cockfighting.
How can South Carolina fans not be upset about this?
What if the gators were called the Florida Murderers? That surely wouldn't be acceptable. A true reflection maybe, but nonetheless unacceptable.
Just a thought.
This was a very unexpected post. From your other posts I always figured you were a pretty big fan of the cocks.

You do know how bulldogs came by their name don't you? Probably not based on your stupid post.
The name was derived from the "sport" of bull baiting. The original bulldog breed was similar to what is now called an American Bulldog but after bull baiting was made illegal, the need for such a dog wained and the breed was bastardized into several different breeds including the English Bulldog.
Fortunately, the true bulldog breed was rescued by a man named Johnson, who I believed lived in Georgia, and became known a American Bulldogs. I never understood why Georgia doesn't use an American Bulldog for its mascot but that's a discussion for a different time.
Using your stupid logic, should Georgia change mascots? After all, bull baiting is as cruel as it gets.

They already did that man. They wanted to seem tougher so they changed to bulldogs from goats. Seriously.

Our nickname is "Gamecocks" - not "Cock Fighting"
guess because Tigers kill people they should go, and leave fighting Irish cause that is true....
