Uga - Georgia's Mascot
Many MGoMembers are dog owners and dog lovers and thought there may be interest in a thread on our opponent Georgia's adorable mascot Uga.
Uga is the perennial name of the University of Georgia mascot. Uga is a white English bulldog that was named the best college mascot in 2019 by https://www.si.com/college/2019/08/12/best-college-football-mascots-rankings Sports Illustrated.
Uga also has his own GA alumni boosters https://alumni.uga.edu/2021/02/22/eight-reasons-why-uga-is-the-best-mascot/
Here's a few videos below on Uga for those interested in this kind of stuff (which I am).
One of the many reasons US college sports are the best!

In-bred and dumb, the perfect mascot for University of Georgia.

Yeah, that’s where I am if we’re being realistic. I like dogs a lot but they have to have a job. They need to hunt or guard or herd, or something worthwhile. A short-lived saggy unathletic otherwise motionless dog doesn’t do much for me.

Glad my wife doesn't subscribe to that way of thinking

Humor and humility, two exceptional virtues. Kudos.

Dogs and their owners are supposed to look alike, but why does he look like Kirby Smart?

OT - Bulldog is the most common mascot in Division 1
Who watched the Netflix documentary Dogs? The episode on the bulldog and his handlers from Butler is well done

One of my employees used to be a handler for Jonathan the Husky at UCONN. She has some amazing stories from that experience - meeting celebrities, having to keep the fans at bay, taking care of the "celebrity" dog. Sounds almost like being an assistant to a Hollywood star, but without the attitude.

My wife is a University of Texas grad and huge Longhorn fan. She is also a huge dog lover - we have two rescue dogs now.
So, despite the fact that she loves dogs, she absolutely loved it when Bevo went after uga at the 2019 Sugar Bowl. See link below:

The announcers wondering if that's targeting... ?

My avatar buddies were 100% in support of Bevo. They say that Bevo got attacked and was just defending himself from that little hoof biting nemesis.

OK, cool. Hook 'em.

Uga trying to take a bite out of an Auburn receiver in their 1996 game is maybe the most I’ve ever seen that dog move.

I hate that ugly mutt.
December 7th, 2021 at 3:46 PM ^
Oh come on guys don't you just want to grab him by his wittle flabby lips and give him a big smoochykins on the nose?
December 7th, 2021 at 5:46 PM ^
No, I want to drop him off at Michael Vick's house.

Batter up! You're next, you Dawgs!
