Gamecocks Info

• The unique moniker is held in honor of Thomas
  Sumter, a South Carolina war hero who was given
  the name "The Carolina Gamecock" during the
  American Revolution for his fierce fighting
  tactics, regardless of his physical stature or
  the size of his regiment. A British General
  commented that Sumter "fought like a gamecock." 
• Although the University's varsity teams have won
  only a few national titles, many league
  championships and tournament titles have been won
  over the years. Tim Brando of CBS Sports has
  said, "You won't find any more loyal fans in the
  country than those who follow the South Carolina
  Gamecocks."
