The college football world mourns the death of Georgia Bulldogs mascot Uga X

There is sad news out of the college football world. A former University of Georgia mascot, Uga X — better known to many as “Que” — has died. He was 10 years old.

The University of Georgia announced on Tuesday that Que crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in his sleep. He began his time with the Bulldogs on November 21, 2015, during halftime at a Georgia-Georgia Southern matchup. It was a night game, and the team’s band asked fans to “light up” Stanford Stadium as the fourth quarter approached. Georgia went on to win the game, and the rest is history.

During his tenure, Que was there through two SEC titles, two national championships and a host of bowl games. He retired in 2022 with a 91-18 record, becoming the most decorated Georgia Bulldog mascot ever.

We are saddened to announce that Uga X, fondly known as Que, died peacefully in his sleep earlier this morning.
