Why does the SC logo show y'all's rooster with those attached weapons you usually find on roosters used in the God awful and animal abusive blood "sport" of cock fighting?

Just what are they promoting down in Columbia?

It’s a dangerous world out there these days, Cocky doesn’t have fingers so he can’t pull the trigger on a gun for self defense. His spurs are all he’s got fellas. When tigers, war eagles, elephants, razorbacks, wildcats and such are attacking him he goes full fledged kickin chickin defense mode. 😉

Now if he did have fingers….I’d be all for him packing some self defense heat like a rifle.

All roosters have spurs. They are a formidable weapon in defending the hens.
When I had laying hens I had a banty rooster. They’re on the small side but this one was tough and mean. One night I heard a ruckus in the henhouse. Then all was quiet. The next morning I found the rooster on the floor of the henhouse with a dead weasel. Weasels are notorious killers. But that rooster caught the weasel behind the ear with one of his spurs and killed it probably instantly. He was a heck of a protector.

From the internets:

"The University of South Carolina's sports teams are nicknamed the "Gamecocks" due to General Thomas Sumter, a Revolutionary War hero known as "The Fighting Gamecock" for his military tactics and love of cockfighting, and a 1902 incident involving a drawing of a gamecock crowing over a defeated tiger after a football game."

And, yes, Gen. Sumter is the namesake of Fort Sumter, where hostilities began for the American Civil War.

Gotta give it to USCjr... they definitely aren't afraid of being associated with the politically incorrect!

(Unlike the cowardly UTC "Moc(k)s"... who'd better be getting some major NIL from Cherokee casinos for their gratuitous bow to wokiness!)

The original "Carolina fighting gamecock", General Thomas Sumter. The British gave him that name as he fought with the tenacity of a gamecock. During the Revolutionary War more battles were fought in our colony than any other. His grave site is located at Oakland in Sumter County, S.C.

sad but true Rooster story


back in the 70's when I was still a Tn farm boy, I went to the Sweetwater Tn. livestock auction and on a whim bought a purty little banty rooster. Took him home and pitched him out in the barn lot to run with all the other chickens we had around the farm. That little bugger started fights with all the other roosters on the place and whipped them all one at a time. Then, he crowed like the champ he was and started out after some little cute hen across the road. Stepped out right in front of a car and that's the END... :(
