Screw PETA. Pick your Dawg.

Folks, we've got an important decision to make. We need to settle the issue of choosing a mascot for the 2010 season. As everyone within earshot of Hahira knows, we didn't do so well last year. The fortunes of the program may well be at stake as we look towards the beginning of spring football and beyond. Do your part, Dawgnation. Vote.
May I present the candidates:
EvilDawg
A Helluva Dawg. Seriously. Not sure where he came from. Some people think Macon because in July, there ain't no city hotter in the entire state of Georgia. He thinks "Smokey" is a "douche" (his words, not mine). The only person in the world he'll let touch him is Mike Bobo, as long as Bobo is sportin' the "Frank Zappa" look (who, we all know, was sorta evil. Well, at least Tipper Gore thought he was evil). Look closely: This Dawg has razor stubble.
L'il UGA VIII Puppy (OMG...he'ssocute).
Can you imagine trotting out l'il UGA 8.0 out there as a little puppy? Even our competition might just relax a bit before kickoff. I can hear a collective "Awwwwwwwwww....OMG.....he'ssocute" by just about every head coach we'll face except Urban who would just as soon point a steely finger at l'il UGA and then try and kick him. But it would be cool to watch l'il UGA grow up before our very eyes and rack up the championships and chicks. By the way, this picture is not an actual picture of the real UGA VIII puppy. That is very highly classified stuff. But, the dimensions and cuteness factor of this particular bulldog are said to be "in the ballpark."
Russ
Russ, the half-brother of UGA VII, is two-and-oh, baby. He's one bad 5 year old. Just ask Tech. Washaun and Caleb may "Run this State", but Russ runs the hearts and minds of Dawg Nation at the present time. He may not be a perfect white English Bulldog, he may not be as big as some of his brothers, half-brothers and cousins. But Russ is undefeated and you never, ever mess with a winning streak. I say give him a full year to strut his stuff and pee on some hedges. He's earned it.
Last but not least:
UGA VIII (the full grown version).
This is actually a picture of an M41 Walker "Bulldog." Anything that has the words "Walker" and "Bulldog" in it absolutely needs to be considered as a Georgia mascot. I'm sure UGA VIII, whenever he is prowling the sidelines, will be about as effective and intimidating as one of these. I loves me some armor, baby.

Nice work, Dave
I voted evil dog, simply because thats what my eyes look like before a 7:45 kickoff.
I was going to ask A.M. or P.M.
for our overseas friends. I feel you.

ok, so, the dinosaur can fly. Lets just say I buy into that. But, how does he fit?

It doesn't have to make sense...

Got to go with Russ
As stated above:
But Russ is undefeated and you never, ever mess with a winning streak.
I once wore the same pair of socks in little league baseball for four straight weeks as I went on a 10 game hitting streak. As such, I’m a huge proponent of the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” school of thought.

DavetheDawg - very nice
The contributions of the regulars here is astounding. I look at other SEC blogs and never see the passion and creativeness I find here.
I like the tank.

UGA IV was a puppy when I was a senior
and OMG…hewassocute. And we had a great season, until the end. (I never forgave Dan Merino.)
Not that we need to measuring ourselves in any way against Tech
But Tank > Crappy Old Car
That thing with a black paint job, red and silver trim and big G’s in the place of the stars would look great. We could spray on stencils of chickens, gators, elephants, bugs, tigers etc. after every win. And we could shoot the main gun after every TD.
Plus once we get Uga VIII we can give him a little helmet and put him up in the turret. Best of both worlds.
Yeah this really needs to happen.
Leaving insightful football commentary and analysis to other people since 2006.
Awesome
I think this would actually appease PETA, too. Unless, of course, we were to use the occasional chicken, gator, cat, etc…instead of actual shells (blanks or armor piercing).
Now, where to put the thing? Somewhere in the open end with the barrel pointed at the visiting section might work. Hope someone with better photoshop skills than mine could do a rendering of this.

I'm now sorry
I voted for Russ before reading this post.

So how do I
post a photo from my computer’s hard drive to here again?

PS I made
the UGA M41 Walker Bulldog – it’s not great, but, it works.

Technically, you can't post a picture directly from your hard drive.
You have to upload it to a picture-hosting site first. There are many free sites out there… I usually use photobucket. You can create a free account and upload your pic there, then link to it here.

as I said earlier -
not a great photoshopping job, but…………..

Can I book our new mascot...
… for Jacksonville on October 30?

It may just another uniform stunt...
… but how awesome would it be to hear, then feel, then finally see a lumbering tank roll into the stadium.
with Uga on top!
