The Georgia Bulldogs football team represents the University of Georgia in football. The Bulldogs are a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and are frequently a top-25 team. The University of Georgia has had a football team since 1892 and has an all-time record of 702-379-54 (a .642 winning percentage). The "Dawgs," as they are sometimes called, play in historic Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, which, with a capacity of 92,746, is the fifth largest on-campus stadium in the United States. The Bulldogs have won two consensus NCAA Division 1-A college football national championships and 12 Southeastern Conference championships. The team has also produced two Heisman Award winners, as well as winners of a number of other awards and numerous All-Americans and NFL players.
Conference Affiliations
Georgia was a founding member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA), the first collegiate athletic conference formed in the United States. Georgia participated in the SIAA from its establishment in 1895 until 1921. Durings its tenure in the SIAA, Georgia was conference co-champion in two years, 1896 and 1920.[27] In 1921, the Bulldogs, along with 12 other teams, left the SIAA and formed the Southern Conference.[28] During its time in the Southern Conference, the team never won a conference championship. In 1932, the Georgia Bulldogs left the Southern Conference to form and join the Southeastern Conference (SEC), where Georgia has won the third most SEC football championships, with 12, behind only Tennessee (13) and Alabama (21).
Nicknames
It was not until 1920 that the nickname "Bulldog" was used to describe the football team, a name bestowed by sportswriters. On November 3, 1920, Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote a story about school nicknames and proposed:
The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity.
Shortly thereafter, another news story appeared in which the name "Bulldogs" was used several times to describe the Georgia team and the nickname has been used ever since. Prior to that time, Georgia was simply known as the "Red and Black." In more recent years, the Bulldogs have been referred to by fans as the "Dawgs."
Traditions
* Uga (pronounced UH-GUH) is the name of a lineage of white English bulldogs, which have served as the mascot of the University of Georgia since 1956. The current mascot is Uga VI. Deceased Ugas are interred in a mausoleum near the main entrance to Sanford Stadium.
* Glory, Glory is the fight song for the Georgia Bulldogs and was sung at football games as early as the 1890's. The fight song was arranged in its current form in 1915.
* The ringing of the Chapel Bell after a Georgia victory started in the 1890's when the playing field was located near the Chapel and freshmen were compelled to ring the Chapel's bell until midnight to celebrate the victory.[29] Today, freshmen are no longer required to do the chore, with students, alumni, and fans taking their place.
* "How 'Bout Them Dogs" is a slogan of recent vintage that first surfaced in the late 1970's and has become a battle cry of Bulldog fans. The slogan received national attention and exposure when Georgia won the national championship in 1980 and wore services proclaimed "How 'Bout Them Dogs!"
* The "Dog Walk" is a tradition that was revived in the 2001 season that features the football players walking through a gathering of fans on the way to Sanford Stadium.
Rivalries
The Bulldogs have three main rivals, Auburn, Georgia Tech and Florida Gators. All three rivalries commenced over 100 years ago. With long rivalries, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement over the records between the schools. For example, Georgia's records show two fewer games than do Georgia Tech's records. |
