SC Gamecocks mascot

I have been watching this, the head is about five to six feet tall, the whole thing will be LARGE. It will be cast in bronze when finished. I guess their football brings in enough for a new stadium and this huge mascot.

Does it have a cannon inside that chucks bottles onto the field?

Seriously, that is some impressive work.

When you find youself in danger,
When you're threatened by a stranger,
When it looks like you will take a lickin', (puk, puk, puk)
There is someone waiting,
Who will hurry up and rescue you,
Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!)

Was a little concerned about what I’d see when opening this thread.

An aerosol can is about 9" tall, 5 feet would be over 6 1/2 aerosol cans.

I haven't heard anything about this, but it has to turn out better than the George Rogers statue.

I'm sure it's not just me, but that thing looks like the kid in Boy Meets World... not George Rogers.



Also... tdw28210, keep trolling with your water bottle comments if you want, but everyone knows a few drunk SC fans doesn't implicate an entire fan base.

The same way a few drunk Clemson fans throwing stuff on the field doesn't implicate all Clemson fans.

Stay classy, dude.

I can see maybe a nice sculpture of a regal looking rooster, but this looks a bust of a chicken getting an enema. It raises the question, "game for what?"

Loved that cartoon as a kid! (Don't forget his faithful sidekick, Fred, with the backwards "F".)

since you needed to question it, I measured it today, it's pretty close to five and a half feet tall and eight feet long, so I was pretty close with my estimate of five to six feet. It will be a big chicken when they get it together in bronze. oh, I am standing back looking up at the chicken, so the picture is looking up at the tip of the tape.

Perhaps we don’t share enthusiasm for giant gamecocks.

Too each his own. Enjoy.

Please tell use that at the very least it has a rubber tongue that flops up and down when the home team scores.

you see, I don't have a problem with this statue, it is just a piece of work, I don't see why you or anyone else has a problem with it. now if it were a great white horse for USC I would love it.
