Nickname
Bulldogs – The first mention of “Bulldogs” in association with Georgia athletics occurred on November 28, 1901, at the Georgia-Auburn football game played in Atlanta. The Georgia fans “had a badge saying ‘Eat’em Georgia’ and a picture of a bulldog tearing a piece of cloth”; however, it was not until 1920 that the nickname “Bulldog” was used to describe the athletic teams at the University of Georgia. Traditionally, the choice of a Bulldog as the UGA mascot was attributed to the alma mater of its founders and first president, who graduated from Yale University. On November 3, 1920, Morgan Blake, a sportswriter for the Atlanta Journal wrote a story about school nicknames for football teams and proposed:

“The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity.”

Shortly thereafter, another news story appeared in the Atlanta Constitution in which the name “Bulldogs” was used several times to describe the Georgia football team and the nickname has been used ever since then.
