In honor of the Dawgs playing in the SEC Championship for the second year in a row figured I would start a thread about the beloved mascot.
Sports illustrated named Uga the countries #1 college mascot.
The University of Georgia is the only major college that actually buries its mascots within the confines of the stadium. Ugas I, II, III, IV and V are buried in marble vaults near the main gate in the embankment of the South stands. Epitaphs to the dogs are inscribed in bronze, and before each home game, flowers are placed on their graves. The memorial plot attracts hundreds of fans and visitors each year.
The are many more facts about Uga at this site. Whics has facts about all the Uga's and links to other Uga sites.
