The college football world mourns the death of Georgia Bulldogs mascot Uga X
There is sad news out of the college football world. A former University of Georgia mascot, Uga X — better known to many as “Que” — has died. He was 10 years old.
The University of Georgia announced on Tuesday that Que crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in his sleep. He began his time with the Bulldogs on November 21, 2015, during halftime at a Georgia-Georgia Southern matchup. It was a night game, and the team’s band asked fans to “light up” Stanford Stadium as the fourth quarter approached. Georgia went on to win the game, and the rest is history.
During his tenure, Que was there through two SEC titles, two national championships and a host of bowl games. He retired in 2022 with a 91-18 record, becoming the most decorated Georgia Bulldog mascot ever.
The college football world and Georgia Bulldog fans mourned on Twitter as the news broke Tuesday morning:
Georgia fans proud of the Dawgs despite SEC Championship heartbreak
ATLANTA – After the Crimson Tide broke the Dawgs’ undefeated streak at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during the SEC Championship game Saturday, FOX 5 checked in with fans.
Wayland Rucker, who organized a watch party for about 40 northeast Georgians who love Alabama and Georgia, says they have been coming together to watch UGA games for years now.
“Just about ten years for us,” Rucker said. “We follow. We go to Jacksonville, we go to Knoxville, we go wherever the Dawgs go, man. We have a good time.”
Yet, the house is divided.
Georgia fans watched from one side, as Alabama fans watched on the other.
The split even shows up in a marriage.
Latonja and Enise Smith have been married for 13 years despite being on opposite sides of an intense rivalry.
