3. They are

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.

4. Why cant they just be called "Gamecocks"

Why the need to preface it with "Lady" ?

5. Well, the men's team also won today

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.

6. Some colleges call all their Womens sports team "Lady"

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

Just to name a few

I find it to be a ridiculous practice IMO

7. It is better than calling them Pullets or Chicks,

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.
