Bulldogs!

• The white Bulldog is UGA’s mascot and is properly known as "Uga VII" For more than a half-century, this bulky white bulldog has been pacing the sidelines, sitting on his block of ice and occasionally terrorizing opposing players at Georgia's famous Sanford Stadium.
• In the state of Georgia, Uga is a true celebrity. Fans line up on gameday to their get photos taken with him, so it's best to make sure that not only body is decked out in Black and Red but your cell phone case as well, you wouldn't want to let down Uga!
• In 1920 Sportswriter Morgan Blake wrote, "The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity".

Deep South's Oldest Rivalry

The Bulldogs' most historic rivalry is with Auburn, in reference to the first football game played between the two teams in 1892 and the more than one hundred meetings since. For the vast majority of the 20th century, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were unquestionably UGA's biggest rival. However, the 1970s, '80s and '90s witnessed a growing rivalry with the Florida Gators as well as the University of Tennessee.
