EspañolCOCKY (MASCOT)
Cocky is the costumed mascot of the University of South Carolina athletics teams. He represents a cartoon version of a gamecock (a fighting rooster).
The current version of Cocky made his debut at the Homecoming game of 1980. He was portrayed as the son of Big Spur, a large barn yard rooster that had been attending games since 1978, as an unofficial mascot of the university. He has three times been awarded a 'mascot national championship' - the Universal Cheerleading Association mascot championship in 1986 and 1994 and the Capital One mascot championship in 2004. He also was invited to be the official mascot of the NCAA Baseball College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1981 and 1982.
The original Cocky was John Routh, 1980-1982,who later became Billy the Marlin for the Florida Marlins, followed by Charlie Fitzsimmons, 1983-1985. Tommy Donavan portrayed Cocky in the early 90's and later became The Carolina Panthers mascot, Sir Purr.
