Spencer Rattler, South Carolina’s presumed starting quarterback, gave his opinion on the name change Tuesday morning. Or, he gave his opinion on what it should have been.
Spencer Rattler on the nickname The General: “I thought it was Cock Commander, honestly.”

The ‘Cock Commander’ nickname made rounds on social media a few days ago after being proposed as a replacement for Sir Big Spur. For obvious reasons, despite the popularity, the Gamecocks went with another selection.
Rattler, for his part, could be a major factor for the Gamecock program this season. The former Oklahoma signal caller is uber-talented, but didn’t quite fit in for the Sooners and decided a fresh start was in order.
