Today is a sad day for Cookie Crumbs. UGA VI, The University of Georgia’s beloved mascot passed away Friday of heart failure in Savannah, Georgia. Despite being a Michigan State University fan, Cookie has always had a soft spot for the big guy and will miss seeing him roaming the sidelines on college football Saturdays. Rest in peace, UGA.
Statement from Trey Paris, President of the UGA Alumni Association
“On behalf of all loyal UGA alumni and the Alumni Association, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Seiler family. UGA VI was indeed a damn good dog. Alumni of all ages had a special relationship with him, and he always drew a crowd of alumni faithful, whether at the Sugar Bowl, the Homecoming Parade, or simply walking into Sanford Stadium before leading us to victory. We will miss him and all he stood for.”

I was very saddened by UGA’s passing. He has a striking resemblance to his kin Winston. I didn’t tell Winston about UGA as he is very emotional about that sort of thing. PS Love Cookie Crumbs and her insights!!
