What’s in a name winner

By on August 29, 2008

With the first pictures of Uga VII being revealed today, Athens’ newest mascot is no longer a mystery. But First & Goal thought it would be fun to see what students and fans thought the Seiler family should name the Uga that officially begins its reign Saturday. Here are some submissions, whether they be thoughtful, funny, or just really random:

- “I say we just call him ‘Lucky’…as in Lucky #7″

- “Touchdown Georgia”

- “Uga VI’s ‘Storm the Field’”

- “Biff (Back to the Future)”

- “Sir Jubilant Von Sunbeam (Juble for short)”

- “Professor Slobbery”

- “Uga VI’s ‘Soulja Boy’”

- “Considering this may very well be Munson’s last year in the booth and the fact that no Uga has been named after Munson, I hope the Seiler Family will not just put a famous line from Munson, but name the dog after him.”

- “I think ‘Bones’ has a good ring to it, but with Munson’s calling years winding down, I would love to see him honored with an Uga nickname. I mean who else deserves one, if Loran got one, Larry should already have one.”

And the winner….

- “Uga VI’s ‘Whatchagot Tebow’”
