How did this make ESPN but not BBF.net?
ATHENS, Ga. -- Uga VI, the beloved University of Georgia mascot, has died from congestive heart failure at his home in Savannah.
The bulldog's owner, Frank Seiler, said he had the best winning record of any mascot in the school's history.
Seiler said he noticed the nine-year-old English Bulldog was breathing heavily Friday night. He passed away soon afterward.
Uga will be buried in a vault in the Southwest corner of Sanford Stadium with his predecessors. Private ceremonies are expected early next week.
Uga VI became UGA's mascot in 1999. He was the son of Uga V, the only college mascot to land on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
University of Georgia Athletic Director Damon Evans called it "a sad day for the entire Bulldog nation."
