📡 South Carolina's live mascot will now be known as The General.

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.

Changing years of tradition. College football is dead as we used to know it. To be honest it's a perfect micro edition of society and how it's falling a part.
