South Carolina Needs a New Mascot Name - will it be "Cock Commander"?

South Carolina’s live rooster mascot is about to debut a name change. A new alias for the mascot formerly known as Sir Big Spur will be announced sometime between now and when the Gamecocks kick off the season Sept. 3 against Georgia State, the university confirmed to The State. Why a name change? It boils down to a disagreement between the bird’s original owners — Mary Snelling and Ron Albertelli — and the new owners, Beth and Van Clark, over whether or not the animal’s “comb” on its head should be trimmed.

[...]

The Clarks, for now, have changed the Twitter handle of the rooster simply to “mascot.” The new name won’t be Big Spur, which was the name used for USC’s costumed mascot in the pre-1980s and before the creation of Cocky. The university’s legal team “advised against using an old name ‘Big Spur,’ which was suggested by many fans, due to its close relationship to Sir Big Spur, which is not owned by the University,” USC marketing director Eric Nichols told The State. So what should the new name be for the live mascot? We picked 10 names — vote below for your favorite. Don’t like our choices? Leave your suggestions in the comments section below.

YES! It will be Cock Commander. Cluck Norris made me chuckle, but that's only appropriate for a Texas based team.

Too many syllables.

Username checks out.

Marco Pollo will be the name of my new mesquite grilled chicken restaurant.

Yeah, aggy will sue over that one. 

Chanticleer already taken, so USCe needs to grab "Cock-a-doodle", quick.
