The Best College Mascot

I read this in the paper today and it brought a tear to my eye!!

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Uga VI, mascot for Georgia football teams that won six bowl games among 87 victories over a nine-year span, was interred at the university's football stadium on Monday in a mausoleum with the remains of five predecessors.

Uga VI died from heart failure Friday in his hometown of Savannah. The body of the English bulldog, whose registered name was Uga V's Whatchagot Loran, was flown to Athens along with his master's family in the university plane.

The body was carried inside Uga's kennel on the back of a golf cart across the field at Sanford Stadium on Monday afternoon accompanied by the song, "The Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation," which is played before Georgia football games.

"There are probably some who think it odd to pay this much attention to an animal, a puppy, a dog," university president Michael Adams told the gathering. "I would suggest to you that Uga is a very powerful symbol, symbolism of the tenacity and strength of the university, Uga VI, particularly."

Love the team or not this is the greatest mascot in the country. Here's to you UGA VI, finest dawg ever!!!
