Still... GOATS.
If you really want me to address it, I think we had the goat as a mascot in the early 1900s for one or two games because a farmer or frat brother brought it to a game and - since we didn't have a symbol to represent the university's atheltic interests at that point - tt was just a convenient association. The goat's last game (the one we lost) saw the goat barbecued later that night. So... If you want to harp on a century old animal that happened to show up to a game or two, then I guess it's within your right?

It's funny, because you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. First off, those roosters are far from starved. They are treated like royalty at all of the farms I have visited. The good ones are even given 2 and 3 females to pillage as the see fit 24 hours a day.
But on the actual subject of the thread, gamecocks are a breed of chicken with different sub-breeds under them such as Grays, Hatch, Round Heads, Kelso's, Black Butchers, etc etc etc.. I don't give a frick what your "definition" that you found says. Many people like these chickens for reasons that are completely irrelevant to cockfighting. They are great chickens for people that live in areas heavily populated with predators, such as coyotes, raccoons, or foxes, because they roost in trees instead of on the ground at night and are also much better at flying and escaping these predators than normal chickens.
And lets just completely ignore the fact that they are MUCH prettier chickens than normal breeds with their vibrant color contrasts and tall slender builds.
