Man, I hate PETA, I really do. I also think Uga is a fantastic mascot. But I actually sort of agree (except for the robot part, wtf?).
The fact that the breed is around is sort of evil. It makes for a fine looking mascot, but the “right thing” to do would be to abandon the breed, find something that can actually mate on it’s own without giving birth to puppies that stand a good chance of just suffering to death.
I was watching the big screen during that, and I motion that any male that was caught dancing to and/or singing along with the Miley song in Sanford on Saturday night should be excommunicated from Bulldog Nation.
Not sure if you saw it, but Washaun was getting into it. In fact, he was so busy dancing that he dropped a pass from Cox during halftime warmups. I love to birddog and pound chicks more than most men, and frankly, I think it’s a hell of a song.
“My tummys turnin and I’m feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I’m nervous,
That’s when the taxi man turned on the radio
and a Larry and Loren were on
and Larry and Loren were on
and Larry and Loren were on
So I put my hands up
They’re playing my game,
And the butterflys fly away
D Green’s throwing like yeah
Beating Aubrun like yeah,
And I got my hands up,
They’re playin my game
I know I’m gonna be ok
Yeah, It’s a party in the Athens
Yeah, It’s a party in the Athens!”
To prevent the suffering of animals bred to represent a brand?? Yeah, Uga’s suffer a lot…it’s hard flying first class, getting your own hotel room, and being treated like a celebrity by a couple million people. If there is any dog in the world who is not mistreated, it’s any of the Uga’s. Hell, I wish I was mistreated that badly!
I didn’t mean Uga specifically. I’m sure the Seiler’s do an excellent job breeding all of their pups
The problem is the effect of having the breed as your mascot. It means the dogs will be bred even more so that fans can have their own, which leads to even more in-breeding.
Animatronic seems too bionic and not anthropomorphic enough. I think PETA would be more than pleased with something like this 2-D one for a new dog mascot because it kind of represents the way our season has gone thus far with all the peaks and valleys…
Crusaders usually don’t care about the cause as much as they care about telling other people what to do. If we got rid of all the animal cruelty in the world by sundown, most PETA members would have another protest sign in hand within 48 hours.
Well said. The other thing about PETA members is that while they profess to love animals, they absolutely do not give a rat’s ass about human beings. We’ve got a lot of people in this country suffering right now. Why don’t they do something to help them?

Quote Of The Day
“I think too many teams are giving up too many rival games. College football is special because of rival games. I think our league in particular is special because of rival games and the passion of our fans. As we progress, I think we need to be mindful of that and respect that.” -- Mark Richt, AB-H, 5/31/12
@marcweiszer And the 6-1-1 will put the SEC at a disadvantage if that happens. published 1 day ago
@ParrishWalton My bet is if it were that much, you wouldn't have seen the Pac-12 adopt a nine-game schedule. published 1 day ago
@ParrishWalton I agree with your logic. But the SEC presidents are a more arrogant than that. They probably believe it won't cost them. published 1 day ago
@ParrishWalton It remains to be seen whether the conference has made that choice. Yet. published 1 day ago
PETA becomes more and more irrelevant each day.
Irrelevant except of course for this…

PETA was also behind the playing of Miley Cyrus at the end of halftime against Kentucky. It all makes sense!

I was actually referring to PETA’s statement, not yours Rick!
Can we get a robot to replace Martinez too?

Yeah, the UGAs really have it hard PETA, I think it’ll be a cold day in you know where before that ever happens.
