Georgia Says Goodbye to Uga VI

Here's some sad news for college football fans everywhere: Uga VI, the beloved bulldog mascot of the Georgia Bulldogs, has died.

Savannah attorney Frank W. "Sonny" Seiler, the dog's owner, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Uga VI died of congestive heart failure. Uga IV had served as the Bulldogs' mascot for nine seasons and was the winningest Uga yet. In his time roaming the sidelines (or, more commonly, sitting on his bag of ice) Uga VI saw Georgia run up a record of 87-27 and win two SEC championships.

In a statement, Georgia athletic director Damon Evans said: "Uga VI was a damn good mascot and a damn good dog."

Seiler said the next in the line of Ugas -- Uga VII -- will be announced soon.
