A term widely used throughout college football fans where a team within a conference becomes childlike and cheers for their conference success as if it was their own team's win or success. This is especially true of the lesser teams within that conference that do not have a winning pedigree or any titles or championships within that conference.
Boy, Fred sure is pulling a gamecock (Gamecocking)again simply because his team's dismal woes (3-9 on season) were wished away because the conference champion of which his team belongs just had a player win a National Football award. An example of this type of childish fandom would be a team from the same conference having a player win the Heisman trophy, and Fred celebrating like he just watched his team (not involved in the Heisman race) win the national title.

a person whose poor sportsmanship or conduct makes the game unenjoyable for other participants
The yankees baseball team routinely pays off competing teams and umpires and referees to guarantee their wins. They ruin the baseball experience for any team that faces them, so they are gamecocks.

Will be a very good football team in the future with Steve Spurriers help.. in his first year he led them to beating almost 3 powerhouses (Florida, Tennessee, lost to Georgia because of a missed extra point). Their basketball team beat the Florida Gators ( National Champions) 2 out of 3 times and won the NIT. Also baseball has won the college world series like 8 times and gets pretty dang close to goin there every season. Will be very good in the 07 season.
The South Carolina Gamecocks will be the team to beat soon.

poor sport; someone who ruins the enjoyment of a game
Adam: We just beat you guys.
Bob: You deflated your team's footballs and paid off the refs. We only played to collect a paycheck, knowing we would lose.
Adam: Even though you're right, I revel in your despair, and am glad you were forced to play a predetermined game. I have ruined the sport of football forever for you.
Bob: You are a gamecock.
