re: Should South Carolina change their "gamecock" name to something

I couldn't give any less of a shite that Carolina uses a Gamecock as it's mascot. I'm just amused by the USCe denial over what a Gamecock is and represents

Because anyone who gives a frick about USC knows that we weren't named after the animal, we were named after a general in the Revolutionary War - Thomas "The Fighting Gamecock" Sumter. The Revolution was also where the Palmetto and Crescent come from. Now, obviously, we use the animal as the physical manifestation, but, just like LSU's Tigers, the name has a deeper meaning.

And BTW, it's not "as it's mascot." It's "its mascot."

Good thing it's not a rivalry. If it were, this shite would get outta hand.
