Ugh, the sports teams at SC are called the Gamecocks, so they've taken the whole cock thing and run with it, to the point of T-shirts that read, "YOU CAN'T BEAT OUR COCKS."
That...that's not even complimentary. 'Our cocks are so fucked up, we can't even get off', that's what 'you can't beat our cocks' means to me. Geez, I wouldn't advertise that.
Someone needs to give 'em some viagra, poor cocks. :(
What's really disturbing is that their women's sports teams are called the Lady Gamecocks. WTF?! They oughta just go ahead and call 'em the Tranny Chickens.
As I remember, the origins of the elephant are under debate--but most people agree that it has nothing to do with the name of the town. (I've asked people the same thing, and they look at me like I'm crazy.) You do see "tusk" references around town, though--for instance, there used to be a bar on the strip called the Ivory Tusk, where I saw fIREHOSE play one night many moons ago. :D
