Gamecocking

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.
