What would the Florida-Georgia game be without Uga, the loveable, slobbering bulldog mascot strolling the sideline?

The white English bulldogs became the official mascot with Uga I in 1955. The current mascot is Uga VI, who has presided since 1999 and enters the game with a record . At 55 pounds, he is the largest of all the Uga mascots, 11 pounds heavier than his father and predecessor.
