Smokey gets royal treatment; Uga, not so much

Tennessee's mascot Smokey got the royal treatment while Uga was just trying to stay cool before kickoff

There's nothing quite like a royal treatment at home.

Before Saturday's kickoff between Georgia and Tennessee, Tennessee's mascot, Smokey the Dog, hung out with the Volunteers' cheerleaders. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

But while Smokey was getting to chill with the ladies, Georgia's mascot, Uga, was struggling.

At the same time as Uga was attempting to stay cool, his friends, the Bulldog football players, weren't exactly welcomed with open arms at Neyland Stadium.
