Product Description
Book Description
The University of Georgia Bulldogs’ mascot, Uga VI, is the current title-bearer of over six decades of English bulldogs who have faithfully served a loyal legion of University of Georgia football fans, carrying a grand tradition since Uga I was born in 1955. Whenever and wherever the Georgia Bulldogs play football, Uga is there along with his air-conditioned doghouse. This book gives a rare glimpse into the personal and breed history of these dogs. Full of anecdotes, such as Uga V's attempt to bite an Auburn player's leg when he made the mistake of venturing into Uga's sideline during the 1996 Auburn vs. Georgia game, this book also includes illustrations and memorabilia from the mascots’ owner’s personal collection.

I liked it,
By SEC Fan (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Damn Good Dogs!: The Real Story of the University of Georgias Bulldog Mascots (Hardcover)
This is a good book. I highly recommend it to Ga. fans. UGA is a staple of the entire Georgia program and his lovable story is one that all college football fans can enjoy. I recommend "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" as well for any serious SEC Fans.

A tribute to America's #1 Mascot,
By
This review is from: Damn Good Dogs!: The Real Story of the University of Georgias Bulldog Mascots (Hardcover)
Guaranteed to please all Georgia fans and English Bulldog lovers, this entertaining book contains the individual stories of six beloved Ugas who have served as mascots for the University of Georgia since 1956. Filled with delightful photos, illustrations and memorabilia spanning nearly five decades, it is loaded with fun facts, heartwarming stories--even poems written in their honor. Uga flies free on Delta, has an air-conditioned doghouse and an official Student ID Card, eats steak, attends social affairs, occasionally wears a tux, has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, in Coca Cola ads, in Playboy magazine, in Animals Who's Who, on credit cards, in movies, TV shows--and more! Following lavish funeral tributes, Ugas I through V were interred in a mausoleum at Sanford Stadium with inspiring epitaphs outlining their achievements engraved on bronze tablets. Uga VI has already made a name for himself "woofing" his encouragement to a well-deserved SEC title in 2002. GO DAWGS and long live Uga VI.

Dam Good Dogs!!,

This review is from: Damn Good Dogs!: The Real Story of the University of Georgias Bulldog Mascots (Hardcover)
Despite the fact that I am from Georgia Tech, the long time feud of UGA, sarcastically, I am also an English bulldog lover, having owned 2 English bullies in my life thus far. I highly recommend this book to all bulldog lovers, even if they are not associated with UGA.
