Can't believe Rod Johnson isn't on the list.

I'm a fan of "Chicken Boo" personally

I do art stuff.

I think the Commander of the C. L. I. T. animal rights group might have something to say about this.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

I am in my 50s. I own this on DVD and have never failed to laugh out loud at this scene once. That is all.

Seeing why Cock Commander as a trending topic in my Twitter Feed this morning was definitely a risky click.

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Cock Commander

So Rooster Cogburn would be top place in the none sexual names list? (so like 110th best name)

Followed by Cluck Norris, Tyranosauraus Pecks ,Drumstick, and Randy

Speaking of the cock commander, Auburn dropped this today:

CFB twitter is on fire today.

Wait a minute ... both winners and loser are Hard?

Edit: typing is hard

Yea, this was my first reaction as well. Like, what the hell is the point?

Callused perineum is a symptom of being a uva fan

Oh that was not my first reaction, I just assumed we'd not talk about the obvious issue with asking college students if they're hard

I guess the point is it Hard to be an Auburn fan?

This has serious "#HardThingsTogether" vibes....

Edit- Didn't see that InEnemyTerritory beat me to this

Warning- Filter lost.

"Look at this... This is just spectacular.... These people are losing their minds"

Wait a minute ... both winners and loser are Hard?

Its a State of Alabama thing, i guess.....

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Wow. I'm ashamed I missed that. Releived jumped off the screen at me and I had to get on it before someone else.

This is not surprising, given Auburn was began by a Wahoo, where they do hard things together.

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

Is that true? Auburn is a land grant institution, way more similar to VT than UVA

It's never too late to do the right thing...

@VTnerf on insta, @BuryHokie on twitter, #ThanksFrank

Check the colors.

This reminds me of when Ole Miss had to find a new mascot when they were getting rid of Johnny Reb (which was way later than it should have been). They had the students come up with new mascots, and some genius kid came up with Admiral Akbar as the mascot, which was perfect for a team named the rebels. I think it almost won too IIRC.

it would have won if disney/lucasfilm didn't squash it too

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

How could they go with anyone other than the classic?

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Totally agree. By far the best choice.

To quote the Brothers Osborne: "I'm Good For Some But I'm Not For Everyone"

At least they keeping it real (referring to the #FUallthetime)

i like that the two universities in greenville, which is a pretty conservative city, are Furman (FU), and Bob Jones (BJU)

Yes, leaving the naming of your mascot - which is a gamecock, by the way - to college students will surely turn out well.

No Cocky McCockface?

I'm disappointed in the youts.

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

If they ever win a championship, the entire team gets 'Cock rings.

They should just eschew the cock jokes and get right down to it. Name the bird "The Phallus of Malice".

That's a good one! I was thinking Dill Doe

between this and Jerry Jones GH moment twitter has been risky checking it lately

There are wolves and there are sheep, I am the sheep dog

Jerry has apparently been saying that for years. Its apparently also a term used by oil workers, but surprising no one told him the alternate meaning and that he is still using the term.

To me "Cock Commander" reads backwards. It feels like "Commander Cock" flows better....

Although either way you arrange the names should be the new title for the owner of the Washington Team .
South Carolina's colors include a shade of red---What about Barbecue Chicken and call it Barbie for short.

Heard a good one on late night, Dwayne "the Cock" Johnson

This thing is going to get out of hand. It's taking on a life of its own.

yep. the fans have really risen to the occassion. The climax of this whole naming thing is going to be interesting.

Perhaps engaging nonfans is silly.

Perhaps engaging engorging nonfans is silly

FTFY..... I think 🤔 we are doing puns here right?

Well, obviously, if you shouldn't engage nonfans, then your only option left is OnlyFans

This is the only option^^^^

Perhaps encouraging net-votes is silly.

Boooo, the new name will be "The General"

No relation to the insurance company promoted by Shaq

in homage to Revolutionary War General Thomas Sumter whose nickname "Fighting Gamecock" created the original moniker for Athletics

Between this and the Commanders are we entering a fad of generic rank names for things?

What's next, the Commandants? The Lieutenants? The Privates?

I do art stuff.

The privates isn't going to work as well you know ... The Cocks really pounded the Privates today. The Privates really flushed the Crimson tide out of their own stadium today, it was a bloody massacre

EDIT: also I think it's probably a no no to use the term "Lady Privates"

When Hubs was at Tech his roomie always enjoyed playing SCar and Oregon State on NCAA Football.
The Cocks pounded the Beavers. The Cocks are penetrating that Beaver line..... etc

you know, there are 948 bowl games every year and we couldn't get this matchup a couple times? shame on the bowl selection committees that couldn't line this up.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Well, after that sham, they course corrected again:

Agreed, if not Cock Commander, then keeping the name is best option

His name may officially be S.B.S., but I will forever refer to him as Cock Commander

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

It was a game of chicken; one of the parties blinked

I do art stuff.

Sir Big Spur

Well, lets see if he can be the spur of the moment.
