Cocky, the mascot of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks, has reached the semifinals for the Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge. Cocky, the 2003 mascot champion, faces Cy from Iowa State this week.

Gamecock fans are encouraged to vote every day at CapitalOneBowl.com. A win by Cocky would put him in the finals to face the winner of the other semifinal matchup between Thundar from North Dakota State and Testudo from Maryland.
