Watching The Gamecocks

The Gamecocks are named after Charles Sumter, a revolutionary war hero that had a unique fighting style and tenacity that impressed the British General, who said that he "fought like a Gamecock." Over the years they have lived up to this legacy many times.

The Gamecocks have many rivals, but the two biggest are The Clemson Tigers and the Georgia Bulldogs. Clemson is a rival because it is a South Carolina rivalry. It is, in fact, the biggest sporting event in the state of South Carolina since 1960! The Georgia Bulldog rivalry is a "Border Rivalry" that has been going on since 1894! These and other rivalries with the Gamecocks make their games even more exciting!
