I always got a laugh out of the South Carolina Gamecocks.Childish,maybe.Funny,definitely!!!!

Well a buddy of mine used to live in Columbia for a time and he would go to USC games and people down there would have bumper stickers on their cars and t-shirts on with the expression "Nobody can lick our 'C*cks."

Disturbing, but my friend says it's true.

Hey, there is only ONE institution known as USC...got it!?!

No offense to the Trojan Nation, D, but those good-ole-boys in S. Carolina get a little feisty...and they have guns

I'll take your comment on USC under advisement for future reference

BTW, since you're in GB, UWGB is known as the Phoenix. What gives with them? Having the name of a warm weather place hasn't ever worked to keep GB warm in the winter.

OTOH, I don't know too many Vikings in Cleveland, even though that's the Cleveland State nickname.[/quote:2kui6646]

They have guns! Hey, just remember, the center of the universe for the Crips and the Bloods, among other gangs, is L.A. How many of them do you think are Trojans fans?

I'm not sure why UWGB has a mythical beast as its mascot. But I think it's safe to say there were more Vikings in Cleveland than Phoenix in GB.

Oh yeah! I forgot that the Crips and Bloods are paid security for the USC campus

On the second point, you may we'll be correct...but not by much. I am looking forward to Cleveland State's run to the Dance next year. The last time they danced, I was a freshman.
