The University of South Carolina mascot is the Gamecock.

Hey Guy:

How long do you think a few randomly selected Gamecocks would last in South Central?

Oh, I see. Now you don't care? What happened to "GO COCKS!"? LOL

BTW, I did not receive a wire today, and I have out of town business from Monday through Wednesday, so it looks like there will be no video until mid-week unless I get a Saturday delivery.

I had to go downtown Oakland and found myself reaching for a...ummm. Which I didn't have, had to settle for the Casper (CRKT).

I pretty much stay out of those "neck of the woods".

I did not play for, nor attend, USC.

Just taking pot shots at uppity Kali lawyers.

More commo excuses? If you were on my team, you might not make commo, but you would be the strongest 18E in the Group.

Okay, I expect that USC football players in Compton would last longer than a middle-aged attorney with a "Go Bush" shirt on, but you might run faster than they could given their record.

When I was an 18E we didn't make excuses, just commo. (He's a cherry civilian, what you expect?)
