The Color and Pageantry

Certainly, as ABC's Keith Jackson so eloquently put forth, the color and pageantry of NCAA College Football is a significant part of what makes this sport the nations greatest drama.

In that regard, a central part among the historical annuals of the game is the famed English Bulldog mascot, UGA, of the University of Georgia. Unfortunately, just as we are about to embark on what could be a very special season for Georgia, UGA VI died over the weekend of heart failure. UGA VI was the son of UGA V, seen below protecting the turf versus an Auburn Tiger.
UGA VI will be buried in the southwest corner of Sanford Stadium with his predecessors later this week. I know all college football fans have always appreciated these traditions and join the Dawgs in thoughts mourning the passing of UGA VI.
