Even if you are a Clemson fan, these pictures will prove why being a Gamecock is the best.

It makes students want to go to class and leave the dorm for more than just a trip to Russell House.

Cocky gives the students joy, everyone hunts him down for Selfies, and enjoys the mystery behind cocky. Not knowing who is Cocky until graduation day, making the mascot even more fun.

Whether its representing a touchdown or is just apart of a USC event, joy is always felt at the sign of these.
