UGA has always been one of my fave mascots.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Russ. #DGD RIP Russ.

he had a good run. I thought it was the newest one - this one had already been retired

You guys should switch from those genetically crippled English bulldogs to nice healthy robust american bulldogs

Lived the dream, a temp who actually became the mascot full time.

To steal a quote from Vince Dooley, "...he came off the bench and got the job done."

Never give up on your dreams, dog...

Too much inbreeding. Much like the fan base.

He lived the dream and never wanted for a full dawg bowl or somebody to scratch his tummy when needed.

Better deal than most men get.

Had no idea that English bulldogs had such a short life span (expectancy) until I looked it up after the news of Russ.

He always had a way of replicating the feeling of the fanbase. RIP to a Damn Good Dawg

I actually wondered why we didn't consider it in the late 2000s when we had lost 3 in a 3-4 year timespan. That particular one looks like he might have borrowed a beverage/supplement from Will Grier... Dawg is jacked.

Also, I can't come up with a clever reason to post this, but I feel the need as it did make me laugh as the first image to pop up when I looked up bulldogs:

UGA VI was in 2007 and UGA 9 just passed away, WTF. I think they need to find a new breeder instead of that assclown that thinks it's his birthright to provide UGA to the University.

They already went with a different bloodline IIRC. Que isn't part of the traditional UGA family

Maybe its the curse of Bully over at MSU. They had Dully before Georgia went the white supremacist route and chose the all white bulldog.

They need to go with an all black dog or the players should go on strike.

When you can lick your own balls, you can die as many times as you'd like.
