Mascot - UGA

Speculation is that our mascot, the White English Bulldog, came from Yale, with whom UGA had strong ties to in its early years.  Our first president, Abraham Baldwin was a Yale man. On November 3, 1920 Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote about the school nickname and said, "The Georgia Bulldog would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity." On November 6, 1920 after a UGA football game, Cliff Wheatley used the name "Bulldogs" five times in his story and the name has been used ever since.

I've heard some talk that a goat was also used at some early games, but I couldn't find a picture.  I guess we should feel fortunate that we landed the bulldog, otherwise we might be the Georgia Goats!
