A new alias for the mascot formerly known as Sir Big Spur will be announced sometime between now and when the Gamecocks kick off the season Sept. 3 against Georgia State, the university confirmed to The State.



Cock Commander seems like a front runner out of the current suggestions:

General
Coop (or Cooper)
Cock Commander
Kickin' Chicken
Capt. Cluck
Brooster
Cluck Norris
Marco Pollo
Mr. Chicken Scratch
Cock-a-doodle-dude

In today's climate these name changes never, ever go well. I mean, look at what has happened to Ole Miss. I'm not sure why "Sir Big Spur" was not good enough, but I guarantee you that whatever they come up with will be even worse.

"Nonconfrontational Pat" - Everyone is sure to love the new, updated look for our favorite mascot! Nonconfrontational Pat (they/them pronouns only please!) welcomes all fans equally, without judgment of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. The only things that get this peace-loving bird fired up are racism and not being passionate about abortion rights! Come have your picture made with Pat and get a free "Cocks not Glocks" t-shirt!

Reminds me of Butch Jone's Trash can or Pruitt's McDonalds bags. Or even Hefty Heupel's Hurry up Offense.

All very gimmicky.

So we have to change it because the original owner of the bird owned the name, not the university.

He is at odds with the university over some petty stuff, so here we are.


Whoever came up with these new names needs to walk through a 40 acre field of legos...barefoot. they are stupid.


but if you were going to be stupid.... Doc Cock would be best

Just take heart that whatever they come up with, it can't be as bad as this:

I always thought his name was Cocky. That's what my USC friend calls him.

Is this in order to be gender neutral?

I mean, its' a fricking rooster.

The trademark on the name "Sir Big Spur" expired on August 1st. That's why they're looking at a name change.
