Sad Day For UGA.

[jesse]

http://uga.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=822297.

The most famous mascot in the NCAA ( SI coverdawg a couple of times ) has passed away after a 9 year reign. FarmerFan, we do have another ready but UGAVI was a scrapper no doubt and although rough on opponents, was great with old folks and kids. UGA VI RIP.

[HebronHawk]

Do they get buried at the stadium like the Texas A&M Reveille's?

[jesse]

Yep, UGA VI will be buried in the SW corner next to his predessors. In a marble vault. If you enter Sanford stadium from the open end of the horseshoe, the cemetary is to the right and very prominently placed.I believe there is room for 3 more at the present location.

I'm not a sip, but at least they don't put an electronic scoreboard in the graveyard.

How do the deceased UGAs know the scores? Do they throw 'em a newspaper?

BWAHAHAHA! you stole my line

no they just put them in a marble vault:rolleyes:

BTW OU still sucks

[slorch]

It's a freakin dog( or any other animal mascot...) Who cares?

Go down to the corner in front of the mall and buy another one...

[BDB]

it won't get creepy till atleast 2 of these events happen:
**fill "cadet" with fitting term**
1) a cadet pulls a sword on the other teams cheerleading squad
2) a cadet flings poo at the other teams band
3) uga goes 100 years without a NC and still think they have a shot every year.
4) an electronic scoreboard is placed in the direction the dog now lays, as to see the score.
5) fill in fitting scenerio

The sips eat their Bevos when they die at a fundraising dinner.

it's a cow.....that else do you want to do to it?

i think burying it in the field at DRK would get troublesome after about the 10th full-grown texas longhorn in an area that's intended on having a sport played on it....not as a burial site.

Neither did UGA. The scoreboard is about 30 ft behind the vault. Which you approach after walking past all Olympic related stuff . Speaking of which Sanford Stadium hosted the largest # of fans for a Womens soccer game ever.

RIP uga. He was the largest Uga I think. I know Bulldogs get pretty fat, but he was huge

I wonder if Cajun feels Mike the Tiger is just another animal ? Or if UT fans believe Bevo is just another cow? Tenn folks are fairly passionate about Smokey. As for OU, each week they should locate a real estate broker under indictment for land thieving and make him honorary mascot.:D After all land cheating must be considered an noble profession there if you name your school mascot after them. The only question is how do you dress him up:laugh

5) fill in fitting scenerio#3 doesn't apply, as it was only 69 years ago that we won a NC in football... it has only been a few years since we won a NC in another sport.
As for #4, they don't need their own scoreboard cause they bury them INSIDE the stadium.
#5 is just stupid.
And honestly #1 and #2 have NOTHING to do with burying the mascot.
ON; MVD.

UGA VI weighed in at 85 lbs. He was the largest so far. The lineage goes back to 1956 and is unbroken.

It was all those Ga. Fast food Biscuits with Bologna! Although, I do have to admit, I wish we had those here.

69? so sorry for the mistake.

and all of that i wrapped up together WITH the scoreboard thing. THAT'S what makes it off-key.

uga burried in the stadium is the lone "wierd" thing that uga fans have.....

[EagleDude73]

[QUOTE=elprezidente;811633]69? so sorry for the mistake.[/QUOTE

Should invite the Red Sox, White Sox and FS Dogs for a blessing of the Electronic scoreboard and plant A Buckeye Tree.

True, at least they didn't pick one of the dumbest animals on the planet as their mascot.........

A walking steak.

Huh? Rocketgrl94 where are you when we need you? No I, eh. :notworthy

[twcpfan1]

A walking steak.

That would also apply to Reveille and UGA in certain parts of the world.

[EagleDude73]

What is a walking streak?

I remember seeing him at the Auburn vs. UGA game, great looking dog

Heck no, I had free tickets! If I like any team in the SEC it's Tennessee.

Why would anyone ever refer to their mascot as that? That's almost as bad as the Rice Owls pissing on a fire hydrant.

[twcpfan1]

Out of curiosity, does anybody here own an English Bulldog or know of them? How hard are they to look after as a pet?

[BDB]

True, at least they didn't pick one of the dumbest animals on the planet as their mascot.........

silly sips, picking a symbol of texas as their mascot.

i guess not everyone can be so creative as to be called "aggies"...

wanna start a rant as to tech's use of criminal "raiders" as their mascot?

[BDB]

the problem with english bulldogs are that they're bred very closely, so diseases are more easily distributed across the breed.

also, the simple frame of the animal is very different then the origional shape that they were intended to have, and leads to strain on the back and legs.

so, i would prolly get a french if you are looking into a bulldog.

Very accurate post. White English Bulldogs are high maint. and have a short life expectancy. Much like Dalmations the limited breeding causes a host of physical liabilities. English Bulldogs are not the best of pets. But are usually pretty mellow until dressed in red and hear 93,000 people hollering "Go Dawgs":D.

Only yankee transplants eat bologna in these parts.UGA's breakfast biscuits were prime rib with dipping sauce:).

who is arguing that point besides you?

the fact still remains that the breed was origionated IN texas. thus being called a texas longhorn BREED.

being an aggy, i thought you would grasp that concept.

president bush is dumber then a doorknob but republicans are still proud of him.
