Your closet is primarily red and black, and you definitely consider yourself a Gurley girl (or guy), but could you get the crown on Trivia Crack for these facts about our beloved Uga?
1. Uga was named "National Best Mascot" by Sports Illustrated in 1997.
And, frankly, should win every year. Case closed.
2. He was the first mascot to attend the Heisman trophy ceremony.
Uga was invited to accompany Herchel Walker in 1982, and (preciously enough) donned a black collar and tie for the occasion. In addition to his game day jersey, of course.
3. He has even been a movie star.
In a 1997 adaption of a book set in his hometown of Savannah, Uga's owner Frank "Sonny" Seiler played a lead role in the movie and Uga played his adorable self. (He does not, however, have his own IMDB page... yet.)
4. There has only been one substitute in the UGA era.
And it was because the poor guy tore some ligaments in his leg while jumping off a hotel bed prior to the 1982 Vandy game. Luckily, his sub, Otto the English Bulldog, was there to carry out the season for Uga IV.
And finally, we should be eternally grateful to have him. Because before we were calling the Dawgs we were...
5. Calling the goats. Our first mascot was actually a goat.
At UGA's first football game against Auburn in 1892, we were represented by a little goat in a sweater. I think I can safely say, Georgia fans are forever grateful for the decision to make Uga our one and only in 1944.
I mean, look at that face.
