RIP Uga VI

So, the only cock on the sidelines is Spurrier?

 

Sidelines, yes. ;D

The chicken hangs out in the front row of the stands, IIRC.

 

UGA was good people. RIP

 

Mmmmmmm Spurrier.

 

Baylor has a live bear that it brings to football games and its handlers walk it around the field on a leash. They retire the bear when it gets to big to manage (3-4 years old) and bring in a new one.

They used to run the bear onto the field in front of the team, ala Ralphie, until one time it ran outside of its handler and its leash cut the legs out from under one of the kids in the band.

That may not sound funny reading it but it was funny as hell if you were there to see it.

 

This was awhile back, but I remember the Sooner Schooner falling over on someone leg back in the early 1990s.

 

In interesting mascot showdowns, Smokey II got into a scuffle with the Baylor Bear in the 1957 Sugar Bowl. Smokey, being as tough as he is, survived what was obviously an unfair fight.

 

Until Uga VII is ready, here's a guy with Georgia ties who's out of work right now, strongly resembles a bulldog himself and could probably use the gig:

 

If you don't let him pick his successor, though, he'll threaten to take the name Ron Polk UGA off the stadium doghouse.

 

Nice....
