Former University of Georgia mascot Uga X, the winningest mascot in the history of the university’s football team, has died.

UGA said the beloved white English bulldog, known as Que, died at his home in Savannah at age ten. His eight-year run as mascot from 2015 to 2022 included back-to-back national championships.

The Georgia Bulldogs posted a tribute video to social media on Tuesday, Jan. 23, saying Que “died peacefully in his sleep earlier this morning.”

Born May 27, 2013, Que formally began his tenure as UGA’s mascot in a collaring ceremony at the Georgia-Georgia Southern football game on Nov. 21, 2015. He retired at the end of the 2022 season after becoming the most decorated of all the Bulldog mascots.

Under Que’s watchful eye, the Georgia Bulldogs compiled a record of 91-18, won two SEC titles, and secured the 2021 and 2022 College Football Playoff national championships. On his watch, they made seven New Year’s Six bowl appearances.

The grateful Bulldogs praised their former mascot saying, “He will always be remembered as a Damn Good Dawg.”
