FWIW, I don't think they're named smokey at birth. Those are probably the years they served as our mascot, not lifespan.

I'm sure that's the case, but the same applies to Uga

In 1978, Georgia played at LSU in raucous Tiger Stadium for the first time in 26 years. While Coach Dooley was out on the field before the game, he witnessed the unimaginable.

Apparently, Uga III was invading the space of LSU’s mascot, Mike IV, near the tiger’s cage. Mike ran up to the cage’s edge and roared loudly but Uga didn’t budge. Infuriated, Mike got on his hind legs, rattled the cage, and roared even louder.

Not phased a bit, Uga charged the cage, barking ferociously at the opposing mascot. Mike sheepishly retreated to the back of his cage.

Upon seeing this, Dooley was instantly inspired and returned to his team in the dressing room. “Let’s go, men… we’ve got ‘em tonight!” he shouted to the Bulldogs prior to entering the field.

Georgia, a seven-point underdog, would go on to defeat LSU by a touchdown. But it was another bulldog, who was the first to pull an upset in Baton Rouge that night, prevailing over a 450-pound Bengal tiger.



LSU can shut up now.

Uga is the greatest mascot in the SEC.

Well if it is SMU, I am going out on a limb to say it is drugs.

Smokey is without a doubt the best looking dog in the SEC. I'm partial to hounds, but no one is close to that guy.

He is a quite handsome hound but Coonhounds in general are all around darn-good dogs. I once wrote UT asking about Smokey's background and they wrote me back, answering all my questions. The original Smokey won the honor of being Tennessee's mascot through a hound dog competition at their stadium and Smokey's "bawl" is what clenched it. He let out a big ol' bawlin' howl on that particular day that won over the crowd and Tennessee fans immediately knew he was the one.

That's a cool note. I'm like you when it comes to coonhounds. I have a 15-month-old treeing walker coonhound and before that had a beagle. Hounds are great dogs: gorgeous, smart, loyal and you don't have to worry about them biting people or other dogs. My neighbors aren't the biggest fans of the howling though.
