Per a report from ESPN, UGA mascot UGA VI passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2008 from heart failure. The Bulldawg Nation will mourn the loss of this beloved Dawg.

I remember being at the game in 1999 while UGA VI took the helm from his daddy, UGA V. It was a very cool day to be at a UGA game, to say the least. UGA V was a great dog and VI followed right in his paw-prints. He was a fine dawg, indeed.

RIP, UGA. Surely Heaven is air conditioned and has ice packs, just like your Dawg House. You’ll be missed.
