We were cleaning up the dinner dishes when Tn, went ahead with 1.1 second left. I said, well maybe they'll get a hail Mary. What a shot.

They are also Gamecocks.

Every team at the University of South Carolina, are gamecocks. I thought it was best to differentiate which team I was talking about.

Louisiana State University- Tigers and Lady Tigers

Texas Tech Raiders and Lady Raiders

Alabama A&M Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs

Alcorn State Braves and Lady Braves

which were their previous names. The switched to Ladies in the 70's

Now they are simply known as Gamecocks. Which is what I usually call them. But, you know, since I was on a message board, not everyone would know what team I was talking about, as both teams played yesterday and won.

Sometimes I refer to them as women.
