UGA VI (1998-2008) Passes Away

UGA VI, who was born on July 22,1998, passed away on Friday night from congestive heart failure. He was nine years old. The Georgia Bulldogs enjoyed great success while UGA VI stalked the sidelines. During his tenure, the Dawgs enjoyed an overall record of 87-27, an SEC record of 52-23, 2 SEC Championships and a bowl record of 7-2 (including 2 Sugar Bowl titles).

UGA VI took over the duties as the Georgia mascot in a ceremony on September 11, 1999 during the South Carolina game. He took over from his father, UGA V, who appeared in the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

UGA VI will be buried at Sanford Stadium on Monday, June 30, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.

Sicemdawgs.com sends their thoughts and prayers to the Seiler family and the Bulldog nation during this time of mourning.

Check out one of UGA VI's last great performances at the Georgia-Auburn Blackout game on Saturday, November 10, 2007.



Dawgs Lose To Fresno State In College World Series Final

After splitting the first two games of the series, Georgia and Fresno State faced off in the final game to determine the 2008 National Champion. Unfortnately for the Dawgs, pitcher Justin Wilson and right fielder Steve Detwiler willed Fresno State to their first ever College World Series title and first ever National Championship in a men's sport.

Wilson pitched eight strong innings allowing one run, five hits and nine strikeouts. The only run he allowed came on a Gordon Beckham solo home run to lead off the bottom of the Georgia eighth. Detwiler hit a two-run home run in the second, an RBI double in the third and then added a three-run homer in the sixth.

The Georgia Bulldogs finish the season as the runner-up with a final record of 45-25-1 and an SEC Championship. Had the Dawgs won the national title, they would have set the record for most losses by a team that won the championship.

Georgia To Battle Fresno State For National Championship

The Georgia Bulldogs (44-23-1) will face the Fresno State Bulldogs (45-30) in the best-of-three College World Series Championship round beginning tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Dawgs defeated the Stanford Cardinal 10-8 on Saturday to improve their record to 3-0 in the College World Series.

Fresno State, 3-1 in the CWS, is only the second no. 4 seed to win a regional and the first to reach a College World Series final. The Bulldogs beat Rice 17-5, beat UNC 5-3, lost to UNC 4-3 and then beat UNC 6-1.

Game 1 will be broadcast live at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN2. Game 2 on Tuesday and Game 3 on Wednesday (if necessary) will be broadcast live on ESPN.

Bulldogs Beat Miami and Stanford In 2008 College World Series

Georgia continued their postseason push with a 4-3 win over the Stanford Cardinal on Monday night in the 2008 College World Series. On Saturday, the Diamond Dawgs defeated the no. 1 ranked Miami Hurricanes 7-4. Georgia, now 2-0 in the CWS, will face the winner of the Miami-Stanford game on Friday, June 20 at 1:00 p.m. (ESPN2).

Looking ahead at the NCAA Bracket, Georgia faces the following scenarios:

  • If Georgia wins on Friday, they will advance to the Championship round to face either Fresno State, LSU, North Carolina or Rice.
  • If Georgia loses on Friday, they will face that same team (Miami or Stanford) on Saturday, June 21 at 1:00 p.m. (or 6:00 p.m. if it is the only game played that day). The winner of that game will advance to the Champonship round and the losing team is eliminated.
Update: Friday, June 20, 2008

Due to the LSU-North Carolina game being postponed due to rain, the UGA-Stanford game has been pushed back to Saturday, June 21 at 2:00 p.m. If Georgia loses, they will face Stanford again on Sunday. The Championship Round scheduled for Monday through Wednesday remains unchanged.
