ATLANTA - Uga VII, the white English bulldog mascot for Georgia’s football team for almost two seasons, died yesterday of heart-related causes, the dog’s owner said.
The 56-pound, 4-year-old dog made his debut as the mascot in August 2008 after his father, Uga VI, died of congestive heart failure. He had big paws to fill - Uga VI was the school’s winningest mascot, racking up a 87-27 record, seven wins in nine bowl appearances and a pair of Southeastern Conference championships.
The school said there would be no mascot at tomorrow’s game at Athens against Kentucky.
