Uga X Retiring As Winningest Mascot in Georgia History

It’s the end of an era in Athens: Uga X is retiring as Georgia football’s official mascot. 

The school announced Tuesday that Uga X, also known as Que, will retire from his role as the team's beloved mascot, allowing a new English Bulldog to fill his spot. Boom, a 10-month old puppy, will be collared ahead of Georgia’s G-Day Game on Saturday and become “Uga XI.”

Though he may be leaving his official role with the program, Que will leave behind a record-breaking legacy as the Bulldogs’ mascot. Since joining the program when he was 2 and 1/2 years old in 2015, Que saw Georgia amass a 91–18 record, which included back-to-back national championships in the last two seasons. 

That makes Uga X the winningest mascot in Georgia history.

Uga X passed Uga VI, who reigned from 1999 to 2008, as the winningest mascot in program history. He also became the only other bulldog besides “Seiler’s Uga Three” to win a national championship. 

All of this to say: Boom, aka Uga XI, has very big paws to fill.
