Sad day for UGA, Uga has passed of heart failure.

I was reading in a book called "Dixie Delight" that UGA has to be kept on ice during games because his particular breed is very sensitive to heat.

Correction: Its called "Dixieland Delight."

 

This Uga , like his 5 predecessors, will be buried in a mausoleum outside of Sanford Stadium. Each Uga is the offspring of the previous Uga and the first Uga hit the sidelines in 1956.

 

They are English bulldogs which do not fare well in the heat and humidity of the south, thus, the ice.

May UGAVI R.I.P., imo the UGA's have been and will be the best mascots in college football. No other schoool even close. Here is another link.

I'm assuming there is a VII ready to take his throne of ice?

Was in Athens last year.

In one of the tunnels leading out of the stadium their is a resting place for each of the UGA's. There is also a little memorial in the corner as well.

This is rough.... I mean very RUFF, RUFF!

I smell an animal cruelty suit coming soon.

My 4 year old loved to watch that dog when we would go down to the games.

Very sad to see this old timer pass away. He'll be missed, but I can't wait to see who get's to carry on the legacy.

 

The bull dog mascot really does rock.

One of UGA VI's highlights was wheh he jumped and snapped at an Auburn player.

I am sure that UGA VII will be making his entrance in the near future.

As I said earlier, the "UGA's" imo are the greatest mascot in college football, bar none.

^ Here ya go!

You are probably right :thumb:, P.E.T.A. will no doubt be all over this. That group of idiot's are against everything else.

 

Truth be known the "UGA's" probably lived a better life than some humans. Those dogs are very well taken care of and held in high esteem, the Georgia fans take their mascot very seriously.

^ Here ya go!
