DAMN GOOD DAWG

 

The University of Georgia is graced with much tradition around its canine mascot, Uga. The line of pure white English bulldogs, for which there have been seven dogs to date, has been owned by the Frank W. "Sonny" Seiler family of Savannah, Ga., since Uga I first graced the campus in 1956. Uga's name is derived from the University of Georgia or "UGA". "Loran's Best" or Uga VII, (Shown on the left) was officially introduced on Saturday, August 30, 2008 at the Georgia Southern game, which UGA won, 45-21.

Uga VII was officially named Friday and will make his public debut before Saturday's game against Georgia Southern. The dog, who is nearly 3 years old, will be escorted onto the field by the Seiler family, who has owned the continuous line of mascots since Uga I took up the mantle in 1956.

Uga VII Unveiled

Uga VII chosen, ready to growl 

Athens -- Uga VII has been anointed. You're just not going to see him until Aug. 30.

That was the word Friday from Savannah lawyer Sonny Seiler, whose family has overseen the selection and care of Georgia's white English bulldog mascots since 1956. Seiler confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday that they have designated the successor to Uga VI, whose registered name was "Uga V's Whatchagot Loran." He died of heart failure in late June.

Uga VII not chosen, but Seiler says dog to suit up for opener 

By Chip Towers, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Published on: 07/15/08

Athens -- At this point in the summer, Sonny Seiler will make only one promise: There will be an Uga VII and he will be on the field for Georgia's season opener against Georgia Southern.

And even that pledge came with an asterisk.

"Unless the dog gets sick or something," Seiler said from his Savannah law office Monday. "We can't control that."

Auburn vs. Georgia: The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry 

Auburn and Georgia have met 111 times, as of 2007, in what is known as 'the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry' in the sport of college football. The Auburn-Georgia rivalry is unlike the annual contest between Auburn and Alabama; It is a true competitive interstate civil war, brother vs. brother. Where as the Iron Bowl is about setting an annual family dispute. Of Auburn's major rivals whose games were once played at neutral sites, Georgia is the ONLY school to come to Auburn without argument.
