The University of Georgia (UGA) features one of the nation's premier athletic programs, competing in the Southeastern Conference. All Georgia athletes are known as the Bulldogs, and Uga the Bulldog, of whom Uga VI is the latest in a much-beloved lineage, is the official school mascot.
Bulldog legends Vince Dooley, Dan Magill, Wally Butts, Howell Hollis, Forrest "Spec" Towns, and Herman Stegeman, along with current coaches Mark Richt, Andy Landers, Suzanne Yoculan, Manuel Diaz, Chris Haack, and Jack Bauerle, are all considered to be among the best in their respective sport.
The Georgia Bulldogs' most historic rivalry is with the Auburn Tigers , referred to as "The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry" and dating back to 1892. The biggest rivalries, though, are between the Bulldogs and the Atlantic Coast Conference's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets ("Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate") and the Florida Gators (The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party). Georgia leads the Series against Georgia Tech, 57-38-5. In addition, UGA enjoyed a strong rivalry with the nearby Clemson Tigers for many years in football, especially in the 1980s. The Bulldogs and the Tennessee Volunteers annual showdown on the second Saturday of October has become a rivalry in recent years mainly due to the 1992 division of the Southeastern Conference into Eastern and Western divisions. The Dawg-Vol winner has the inside track for the SEC East crown.
