Heard a few folks speak of it today, not 100% confirmed by any means, but rumor is A SWARM OF YELLOWJACKETS was the cause of passing
Let’s worry about winning anything then insult them. I’m thereThis is less fun now that they've won a title. We need to step up our game and get things close again.
Fallen to new depths? This gets replayed every 5-6 years it seems. Also seems the lifespans are getting shorter.We have fallen to new depths, if we're resigned to taking pleasure in their mascots death lol

There ain’t no way that uga would ever allow an article confirming that it’s mascot was killed by a swarm of yellow jackets see the light of day.Someone have a link?

University of Georgia Mascot Dead: Allergic Reaction to Yellow Jacket Attack in Savanah- (Athens, Ga)
University of Georgia fans tonight are mourning the untimely death of Uga X, the University's tenth English Bulldog mascot, whose name is 'Que'.
The line of pure white English bulldogs, which epitomizes everything Georgia, has been owned by the Frank W. "Sonny" Seiler family of Savannah, Ga., since Uga I first graced the campus in 1956.
"While at the home of the Seiler family, Que encountered an underground yellow jacket nest and was stung over 70 times. Despite lifesaving measures from the Seiler family and North Savanah Fire and Rescue, Que was pronounced dead at 8:42pm Thursday evening." said University of Georgia spokeswoman Katie Bradshaw.
University of Georgia is the only major college that buries its mascots within the confines of the stadium. Ugas I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII are buried in marble vaults near the main gate in the embankment of the South stands. It is anticipated that Que will be given similar burial.
Athens resident Allen "Ted" Jenkins shared his feelings with the Athens Herald-Banner, "It is a terrible day for the University but you can't help but respect the irony of his death. Killed by yellow jackets. Kinda makes you wonder about life."
It is unclear at this time about the University's plans to replace the mascot. Over the past few years several groups on campus have called to end the tradition of using the English Bulldog breed citing its connection to slavery in the south.
"We really need to take this opportunity to review our schools connection to the past and make changes that show the school is on a new, better path," said Chandra 'Oats' Jacobvich, President of United Against the Past.
Athens resident Jeff Folks commented at Athens Online, "The crazy people who want to get rid of Uga are what is wrong with America. These people should have their lips sown together and their fingers broken so they can no longer communicate their insanity."
Funeral arrangement will be announced next week.

Well when you inbreed the inbred...the quality of product isn't quite the same. If you ever watch that dog on TV about the only thing he can do is walk in circles for 8 seconds before he runs out of breath.
We always have. The inbred mutt was put out of it's miseryNow I Know we're in a really bad place, but we must be terrible if we're cheering for the death of an animal.
