NCAA College World Series Champs! And off one of the best, hardest fought games I've ever had the pleasure to watch!
NUMBER FREAKIN' ONE, BAYBEEE!
Shit YEAH!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
First one I see, I get me a NATIONAL CHAMPS hat to go with all my other Cocks hats.
Go Gamecocks.
Just wish I had a Graemlin for this.....AWESOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I'm happy for them, Rick. I was rooting for them even after they knocked my Tigers out this weekend. Ray Tanner is a class act--he and his program really deserved this!
Posted by Jerry on :
There's some real enthusiasm! Congrats. You got me excited and I wasn't even watching the game. However, I think a cock graemlin would just be begging for trouble with this crowd...
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Congrats Rick! Glad to see a fighting team pull it off.
Jerry, that is such a good idea! A wily rooster graemlin symbolizing, er, other things! Posted by rickshaw1 on :
If we can do infectious lass...then a Gamecock shouldn't be a problem...cept for Gary, of course.

I thought this thread is about something else. Posted by rickshaw1 on :
You mean something along the lines of:
"Well, it was late, and our big sticks were not really standing at attention. But then, when we got to second base, we were aroused and felt a driving need to take it deep. We started to swing away and rammed it deep, allowing our big gun to get to home base. And while we weren't on the mound, we were spent and limp at the end.
We proved without a doubt that our Cocks are the best, last longer, go deeper and drive with purpose, and when in the hole, only try harder and harder while pushing to a fast and energetic climax. Our Cocks are recognized world champs."

South Carolinians love bragging about their Cocks Posted by Chief Taylor on :
In all fairness we rarely have the opportunity! Posted by cleome on :
This thread makes me dread what will ensue should the Portland Beavers ever win the AAA World series.
Posted by Chief Taylor on :
Wonders what would happen if they go against the Cocks! Posted by cleome on :
I'm guessing it would be a cataclysm of epic proportions!
Posted by Chief Taylor on :
I wonder if South Carolina has ever played Oregon State?
Posted by cleome on :
[resists urge to make "Duck you" jokes]
Posted by Chief Taylor on :
Actually, the Ducks are Oregon...Oregon State are the Beavers. Posted by cleome on :
You haven't lived until you've seen some dude (well, I guess it might not always be a dude. Who can tell?) dressed as a giant humanoid beaver flinging baseball merchandise into a crowd of drunken goofballs using either what looks like a giant toy bazooka or what looks like a giant thong (ie-- a slingshot).
That's the kinda' thing that makes this country the greatest country in the world, damnit!

So does this. I-75 in Michigan has Exit 69 on Big Beaver Rd.
I couldn't make that up.

If it intersected with Richard Head Ave., I'd lose it!

Every joke I can think of right now would net me a temporary suspension from here-- at the very least.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My wife told me about a place out west (where she lived for a time as a kid) called Cock Rock. I didn't ask.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
I just feel the need to say to all those overbearing clemson fans...Hey, we're national champs, and we've done it recently.*
*That is a little shot at the worst of the clemson fans, not the normal folk, lol.
Posted by cleome on :
Now I'm confused. I thought that we all came here to get away from normal folk.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
'got news for you, mah dear, the weird, aberrant and strange ARE the normal folk. Clemson fans are just a special breed of strange and depraved, and I ain't even talkin' bout the hardcore fans....
* Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Okay, with the clock tickin' (Since the Bball teams national championship, old Stevie is feelin the heat) the first game of the season was promising. And I say that because even though they were playing SM, which ain't exactly a powerhouse, the team looked good. Garcia didn't look lost anymore, and had two great runs into the endzone. The back, Shaw, was okay, but it was obvious that SM thought they could smother him because he was a freshman.
The reason I say promising is because the Gators don't appear to be as dominating as they were last year (shaky I know based on one weekend), and we've beaten Georgia before. Eeek out those wins plus the lesser schedule and maybe one against Tennesee and you've got a pretty nice schedule. Notice I didn't include Clemson. You just never know when the two hottest instate rivalries meet.

Hey, I hear the football cocks are ranked 24th. Not bad.
Posted by cleome on :
Meanwhile, our local baseball franchise has quietly breathed its last. Sadly, there were no headlines saying anything like, "ZOMFG! Portland's All Outta' BEAVER!!"
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Speakin' as an old married guy, when the world runs outta beaver, I ain't eatin' tail no mo'.
*Just so ya know, the tail of the beaver was considered to have some of the best cooking meat in all the animals of the old west. Although, I hear cougar was better. Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Cocks peck bulldogs to death.... 17 to 6, baby!
Watch our Cocks strut!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
ZOMFG? uhh, whuts thet?
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Here we go. Furman losses to USC, making it 3-0 start on the year.
Lovin' it.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Rankings move USC up to 12th. Go Cocks!
Posted by Chief Taylor on :
Shame about Kenny McKinley. Posted by rickshaw1 on :
I just heard Apparent Suicide. Whats the story?
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Well, that really sucked. Spurrier likes bustin' his qb's, maybe he should think about telling his O line to keep them back and telling his friggin D line to STOP THE FRIGGIN QB THAT ACTS LIKE A RUNNING BACK. Just a thought.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Cocka doodle damn doo! #19 Carolina beats #1 Alabama in a solid win, 35 to 21!
No cheap win!
No backups!
The Full Real Deal!
Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmnn Right Baby!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Well, after losing to Kentucky, they come back with a road win over another SEC team, Vanderbilt, to take the lead in the SEC east. But, while they've had trouble with Vandy in the past, Vandy isn't really a national powerhouse, or even a SEC powerhouse. Next up Tennessee.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Cocks got a win over Tennessee. And it was a close thing for a good while. Tied at the half, I think Tenn's coach made a mistake benching his starter for the young kid. Yeah, the guy fumbled twice, but SC wasn't exactly on the top of their game. That new qb he brought in had a couple of nice strikes to the end zone, but I don't think it wasn't anything the starter couldn't have done.
Their coach reminded me of Spurrer to be honest.
Still, it was a good win over a perennial top SEC opponent. Every one keeps saying the SEC east is down, and thats the only reason SC is up, but they kinda forget that SC has been trending up for a while now, slowly but surely. The Gamecocks earned the win over a Tennessee team that is going to be right back at the top next year.
Oh, and I found another great new USC hat, this makes about ten I think. Go Cocks.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Oh baby. I didn't pick them to win, and yet....
COCKS WIN! COCKS WIN!
Okay, I don't wanna CROW, but they beat the gators for the first time in the swamp, and did it handily. It was as near a perfect game as could be played. And the evidence was Urban Meyer on the gator sidelines looking like the wheels came off his very expensive sports car. Not wanting to ruffle any feathers, but our PECKERs were just a little bigger than theirs. We CLAWed our way over them, and it was done behind SPURrier, their own former Heisman trophy winner. His former team looked rough as cornCOB out there.
Okay, all joking aside, this was a crowning moment for SC. We fans have gone through a long drought, not only after having joined the SEC, but before as well. And for once, after a game, Spurrier didn't look constipated.
Just one thing coach, after Troy, we still play Clemson, and no matter what ANYONE says, all bets are off on that game. THEN, we go to Atlanta.
From a kid that didn't know how to handle himself, Garcia has grown into a man leading the team. The team has lifted itself out of the mire of so many lossing seasons, hopefully they've realized there is no such thing as the Chicken Curse, ,that each team is new every year, and can actually finish this year holding their heads high. They've earned it.
Finally beat a nationally ranked number one opponent for the first time in their history. Finally won a title. Finally going to the League Championship game.
Just win this one out guys, and it will have been a great year for Carolina Sports, you know, what with the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS GAMECOCK BASEBALL TEAM!
So, how does that chicken dance go again?
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
YaaaaaaaaHoooooooo!
For years, Clemson's little jab at Carolina was that their Motto was "Wait til 'X' years ago."
Well, guess Clemson's is "Wait til three years ago!" now, lol.
29 to 7.
LOVE ITTTTT!
Go Cocks!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Well, it was a disappointing end to a pretty good season. Lots of number ones for the team in football. The Baseball team got a number one to BE the number one. Can't help but think next years ranking should be pretty good there. And tanner hasn't shown any interest in leaving, especially with the new field, so things look good there. I don't follow basketball, but I'll look into it.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Cocks Win! Cocks Win! Our men's baseball team is SEC champs. Waaaahooooooo!
Posted by future king on :
Congrats! I'm still trying to get my mind around the name of your home team there!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Heh. Only South Carolinians have the spheres to pull it off.
Posted by future king on :
Ok, I'm going to take your word for it on that one bud!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Hey listen, our two biggest schools have for mascots... gamecocks and tigers.
Now, think dirty.
And our third, the Citadel, has a Bulldog.

Louisville, KY, has a high school named Male (a former all-boy school). Their mascot is a bulldog.
Imagine what I thought when I first saw a bumper sticker that said "I [heart] Male Bulldogs."

Uncut male dogs are notoriously randy. As well, there is a term down here called "bulldoggin'" that has several loose meanings, all of them dirty.

To say "thanks for clearing that up for me!" would be an over - statement!!! Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Cocks still Crowin', rollin' along. Ain't life grand.

As long as you're happy bud, then I'm happy too! Posted by rickshaw1 on :
And they are still rollin. Might be good enough to take the College world series again.

Cocks take down UConn.
Posted by doublechinner on :
Good. One of my best friends is a Clemson grad and is fuming over UConn.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
UConn knocked them out of the playoffs?
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
And the Cocks take down Virginia. Still onna roll, baby.
just processing the phrasology of the above words in my mind .... over and over again, and again...
Hmm, nope can't do it. Everytime I try to keep it innocent my mind goes straight into the gutter!!!
LMAO
Poor VaginaerVIRGINIA... the whole team... all those Cocks...
Unless she GOES for that sort of thing. Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Our Cocks are awesome. They get out the gate hard, fast, and swing away, driving it deep when they want to but having a finesse touch when appropriate.

Meh... it's just baseball. Let me know when they have the best men's AND women's BASKETball teams... Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Basketball? Feh. Ten abnormally tall people jumping up and down every thirty seconds, faking injuries and flopping to the floor.
I'll take baseball, where the men are men and tote clubs to prove it, where dead animal skin is hurled at people's heads with such force that it can render other people dead.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Time for my Cock's update.
In the first football game of the season, the mighty Cocks spanked the Pirates of ECU with deep drives, quick thrusts into the endzone, and fired off a volley of runs that left the Pirates shellshocked after their opening quarter. The Pirates fared well against a younger, smaller Cock quarterback, but when the older, full-sized Cock took over, it was able to use experience to sustain drives that penetrated the opponents line and ended in the endzone.
So, to climax, Cocks Rule!
Posted by Legion Tracker on :
Rick, could you say that one more time? ;-)
For a guy who likes innuendo, you've got it made with your team.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
sorry, don't know why that happened. Still, funny reply, LT.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My next Cocks update: We wraslled a lot, but after firing off spurts we spanked those puppies. It was a sloppy start, we greased our way in, driving in with a few withdrawls, but constant penetrating drives had us fire enough spurts between the hedges to implant our flag in the endzone. We were left spent, but it was a job well done.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Cocks Update- Navy Midshipmen
In a win over Navy, the Cocks shot a win over the Seamen. With our leaky defense , our hard thrusting back spurted ahead again and again with a steady stream of runs that penetrated the diaphragm of the seamen's defense as well. Our QB, a little shaky at the start, eventually gained a rhythm firing short bursts that spread the defense wide open and allowed deep drives into the belly of the seamen. Our hard running back really chewed up the rug, legs churning and pumping furiously, with a head on approach that slipped through the forest of defenders like he was greased up. In the end, the seamen were liberally spread around and our cocks took a knee for the win.
Posted by Legion Tracker on :
Penetrated the diaphragm, huh?
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Well, with seamen involved, I decided not to go with a lot of preg nant pauses.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My Cocks update: Well, in a Shocker, my Cocks stood tall and threw some deep shots into the kitties of Kentucky. Our hard driving offense fired all over the place, soft lobs and shooting ropes, spreading the area open and covering it completely. I genuinely wasn't expecting a flood of passes but in the end, the cocks stood tall and dumped a load of smack on the kitties of Kain' tuck.
Posted by Legion Tracker on :
Wow Rick, so many innuendo opportunities with this KY game and so much restraint!
;-)
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
That's whut makes it gud.
Over top losses its fun.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Spurrier must really believe in Conner Shaw. They dismissed Garcia from the team today. Wow.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
guess he didn't pass the booze or drug test this week. You know, right after shaw had a good week. Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My latest Cocks Update: Marcus Lattimore out for the season with torn knee cartilage.
Annnnnnnd our girls have just taken the SEC women's championship in college soccer. maybe one day our football team will be of note the way our other sports are.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My Cocks Update: After a soft start, the Cocks managed to slip in a lackadaisical performance, but still were able to slip it to the Vols with a 14-3 victory in their sleepy hollow. frankly, their tepid performance for the most part engendered no real faith in the new head of the cocks, Shaw, but did show that we have another hard drivin' running back. Frankly, I expected much better shots coming off a bi!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My Cocks Update: Well, suspicions have been confirmed, our offense is really just a floppy, flaccid limp tosser. Cocks lose to the riotous razorbacks.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My Cocks Update: Cocks win a squeaker. I didn't get to see it, but I understand that it wasn't a great offensive game. Still flaccid and floppy.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
MY COCKS UPDATE: My Cocks spanked dem pussies! Dat is all!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My Cocks Update! Well, my Cocks dun shucked them cornfed huskers.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Sorry, Lardy, but COCKS WIN! over the tiggers agin' in the 12th.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Aaaaaaaannnnddd the Big Cocks fire off another volley of runs, and splatter the gators 7 to 3!
Waaaaaaaahooooooooooooooo!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
I am broken hearted. The threepeat didn't happen, glory and greatness did not abound.
sad face here.
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
My little widdle heart is remade. My Cocks stuffed a high hard one right down Georgia's throat to start the game saturday night and didn't let up. Their thrusting, driving penetration of the big D of Georgia was masterful, spanking their defensive backs and leaving them gasping.
Effin AWESOME!
Number 3 in the nation Bay Bee!
Posted by Lard Lad on :
That's the good news.
The bad news is LSU's next up @ Baton Rouge!
And if they get past LSU, well, hello Gators down in Gainesborough! Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Tell me about it. and then there's still Clemson at the end of the season. I don't know who made up our schedule, but they are some really sadistics sob's, lol.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
I'd hate for Georgia to end up representing the SEC East in the title game again this year after the Cocks beat 'em because they have a softer SEC West opponents schedule. That would suck!
At this point Clemson's only hope of beating USC is if we can overwhelm you guys with our offense. Our D is TERRIBLE! If Klowney and the rest keep playing the way they have this season, Tajh Boyd will be running for his LIFE!
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Clowney is dialed in, that's for sure. I have to admit I was wrong about Shaw. I thought last season was gonna be the real deal, and wasn't impressed. He's becoming a really good college qb.
