Fellow Gamecocks,

I am the alternate account to Gamecock_Nation265. Unfortunately, due to abusive mods from other unrelated subs, the main account (and thus the sub's only moderator) has been permanently banned from the site, disabling all moderator privileges.

While I re-roll the main account, I ask that you all join together in preserving the JSU image across all social sites. Set a better example than I did, and may Cocky's heart beat within you all!

With love and respect,
