Uga v. Smokey

[CWB]

Dawgsport’s Kyle King is questioning Tennessee’s ability to take care of its live mascot. In support of this wild accusation, The Mayor has this to say:

"Smokey II had to tangle with Baylor’s live bear mascot during the 1957 Sugar Bowl and Smokey VI collapsed from heat exhaustion in 1991 before passing away later that same season."

I submit that we don’t need to coddle our mascot as Smokey, unlike Uga, can take care of himself. Smokey II tried to put the smackdown on a bear and survived. And VI’s heat exhaustion only kicked in at 140 degrees.

To my knowledge, Uga has never come close to to assailing a wild beast. Granted, he did snip at an Auburn player once, but I’d wager Kyle would agree that that particular varmint is much further down the food chain than a domesticated bear. And the last time I saw Uga on t.v., he was panting like Charlie Weiss after 200 up downs and slobbering profusely into his food dish while lounging in the 75 degree shade of his doghouse.

I’d say Uga gives up the ghost at 95 degrees and soils his black and reds at the mere sight of a bear cub.

Smokey, on the other hand, can take care of himself.

I will never argue against our beloved Smokey. But, until Bulldogs were bred to be so pitifully obese, there was a reason for the breed name. But, in the modern day of dogs, give me Ol' Smokey, anyday. :bow:

 

[CSpindizzy]

If history serves me correct there was an UGA that either died or almost died because he fell off of a hotel bed. That's just pathetic.

Smokey has worth and a purpose. What does UGA provide? The towel boy a job while the team is on the field?

This animal is consistently ranked the best mascot in NCAA football...can't you see why?

I don't like U of GA at all. However, there's no denying that English Bulldogs are absolutely cool.

Esp. when they are on ice...

I love that picture! Will have to save it somewhere. That is great, Alley! And somebody wants to B%$#& that Smokey had heat exhaustion? Toooooooooo funny!

Uga works as a mascot because he looks like most Georgia fans.

They are an embarrassment to all dogs. Less worthy a title of dog than a chiuaua. I mean come on! A dog falls off of a bed and almost dies! A dog has to have an air conditioned dog house and ice on the sideline? Smokey would wear him out in any competition and eat him and his food for lunch. cool? gimme a break!

English Bulldogs are royalty. They don't have to perform the tasks required of peasant mongrels.

No, they are poor excuses for a breed of dogs and have ZERO usefulness.

Come to think of it, they maybe as useful as Price Charles. Both are about as useful as a British Dental office.

English Bulldogs leave functionality to their cousin, the Pit Bull.

I can see how the value of a regal countenance would be lost on you.

Just like Jabba the Hut

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Think you can call him UGA-Stubs. Its hard to see the legs on the UGA mascot. Not like he uses them much anyhow.

 

[CSpindizzy]

I think if my life counted on it, I'd rely on Smokey than fatboy. I'm not going to count on something so slow and pudgy to protect house and home or just person for that matter.

If your life is dependent on the actions of a canine, you are in serious trouble.
