Cocks. We get it.<BR/><BR/>USC's been around since 1801. The joke's gotten a little old and juvenile.<BR/><BR/>And maybe no one knows this, but the name came from Revolutionary War General Thomas Sumter, who was known as "The Gamecock." South Carolina also had another colorful guy in the revolution, Francis Marion, who was known as "The Swamp Fox." <BR/><BR/>If things had gone another way, Carolina would be known as the Foxes.Wes Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549148529701278476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-20190256886117049302007-03-08T22:07:00.000-05:002007-03-08T22:07:00.000-05:00Cool list.I used to see a girl at our gym wearing ...Cool list.<BR/><BR/>I used to see a girl at our gym wearing one of those South Carolina hats with the shortened name on it.

We hosted Idaho for what became our highest-attended game ever. The vandal is a bird, kind of like a very large crow.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the Seminoles, the guy on the horse with the flaming spear is Chief Osceola and I believe his horse is named Renegade.<BR/><BR/>We used to have a trivia question about the number of NCAA Div I teams with neither a color, nor a plural ending in "s" in their name.<BR/><BR/>Also, regarding UCF, before we became the Golden Knights, we were once called the Citra-nauts. The mascot was a humanoid body with a large orange for its head.Valtoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807946128973757019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-32460641286969407802007-03-08T13:49:00.000-05:002007-03-08T13:49:00.000-05:00What a neat list of nicknames, and interesting tid...What a neat list of nicknames, and interesting tidbits about each!

My bestbud told me recently that U of I had to stop using their mascot due to native american protests. And that's as much as i retained from what i'm sure he considered a very important sports related conversation. And I probably only remembered that because my grandmother was blackfoot so i'm sensitive to those ethnic issues. Yay Indians...
