How did this even come about? Is it weird telling strange men GO COCKS?

I would love seeing them play the Oregon State Beavers.

What announcer would like to call a game between the Cocks and Beavers?

South Carolinian Thomas Sumter, who British soldiers declared "fought like a Gamecock."

I remember sometime in the late 90's it became briefly fashionable amongst a certain crowd to wear ballcaps from schools like South Carolina (a large "COCKS" with a small "South Carolina" beneath) or Morehead State (self-explanatory). Oregon State was probably one too.

What’s with the Sloth eyes? Is it just the angle of the portrait?

Just be glad your mom did or else you wouldn't be here to ask such stupid questions.

I had one of the very last shirts that just said Cocks on it, with no reference to the school, no logo, nothing. I had to leave it behind when I moved out of state.

Will say if not for our mascot, many people out of the state/SEC border wouldn't know who we are.

So Good on you USC.

A Unique Mascot.

Not something lame like Tigers, Bulldogs or Volunteers.

Embarrassed? Went to a game there several years ago and it seemed every student there had their frat or sorority logo on a shirt that said "You can't Beat our Cocks"

It's a joke that writes itself. They are a perpetual laugh for Clemson.
