The Georgia Bulldogs football team represents the University of Georgia in football. The Bulldogs are a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and are a perennial top-25 team. The University of Georgia has had a football team since 1892 and has an all-time record of 701-379-54 (a .642 winning percentage). The "Dawgs," as they are sometimes called, play in historic Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, which, with a capacity of 92,746, is the fifth largest on-campus stadium in the United States.[1] The Bulldogs have won two consensus NCAA Division 1-A college football national championships and 12 Southeastern Conference championships. The team has also produced two Heisman Award winners, as well as winners of a number of other awards and numerous All-Americans and NFL players.

[edit] History

[edit] Nickname

It was not until 1920 that the nickname "Bulldog" was used to describe the football team, a name bestowed by sportswriters. On November 3, 1920, Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote a story about school nicknames and proposed:

The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity.[2]

Shortly thereafter, another news story appeared in which the name "Bulldogs" was used several times to describe the Georgia team and the nickname has been used ever since.

The University of Georgia first formed a football squad in 1892, with chemistry professor Charles Herty as head coach. The team played its first game against a team from Mercer University, in what was supposedly the first football game played in the deep south.[4] Playing on a field that would later be called Herty Field, Georgia beat Mercer by a score of 50-0.[3] In the second (and final) game of that inaugural "season," Georgia lost by a score of 10-0 to Auburn University. [4] That game marked the beginning of Georgia’s longest-standing football rivalry, which is called the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.

From 1892 until 1909, the head coach at Georgia changed frequently, with 14 different head coaches in a 17 year period. The combined record was 47-52-10 (.477 winning percentage). During this time period, Georgia’s greatest success came when Glenn “Pop” Warner coached it and Iowa State for two seasons.[5] In 1896, Warner-led Georgia went a 4-0 record[4] on the way to its first conference championship, when the team was a co-champion of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA).

[edit] Mehre-Butts Era: 1910-1963

Beginning in 1910, Georgia started experiencing stability in its head coaches. In the 53 years following 1910, Georgia had seven head coaches and a record of 307-180-33 (a .622 winning percentage). Although Harry Mehre and Wally Butts are the two best-known coaches from this era, it was George “Kid” Woodruff who led the Bulldogs to their first claim to national championship. In 1927, Georgia finished the season 9-1-0[4] and could stake a claim to the national championship by finishing number 1 in at least one national poll. [6] Herman Stegeman coached the Bulldogs to an 8-0 record in 1920, when the team was named co-champion of the SIAA.

Harry Mehre coached the Bulldogs for nine years from 1928 to 1937, but perhaps his most memorable game was in 1929. October 10, 1929 was the inaugural game in the newly completed Sanford Stadium and Mehre’s Bulldogs responded with an upset victory over the powerhouse of the day, Yale University, winning 15-0.[7] In that game, Vernon “Catfish” Smith scored all 15 points for Georgia. As head coach, Mehre compiled a 59-34-6 record (.626 winning percentage), but was never able to win a conference championship.

Wally Butts coached the Bulldogs for 21 seasons (1938 – 1960) and continued as athletic director until 1963.[7] During his tenure as head coach, Georgia won its first the consensus NCAA Division 1-A college football national championship in 1942 and had a claim to the national championship in 1946 after finishing first in at least one national poll. [6] Butts coached 1942 Heisman Trophy winner Frank Sinkwich and Maxwell Award winner Charley Trippi. His teams also won four SEC championships – 1942, 1946, 1948 and 1959.[8] As head coach, Butts posted a 140-86-9 record (.615 winning percentage), including six bowl games. His bowl record was 5-2-1.[9] Wally Butts was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997.[10]

[edit] Vince Dooley Era: 1964-1988

Vince Dooley held the head coach position longer than any other Bulldogs coach, leading the Bulldogs from 1964 until 1988.[7] During his tenure as head coach, Georgia won its second consensus national championship in 1980,[6] winning the Grantland Rice Award. Dooley’s 1968 team finished first in at least one national poll, giving Georgia a claim to the national championship in that year.[11] His teams gave Georgia six SEC Championships and he coached 1982 Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award winner Herschel Walker, 1968 Outland Trophy winner Bill Stanfill and 40 All-Americans. [7] Dooley won the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award in 1980 and the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award in 2001. He compiled a 201-77-10 record (.715 winning percentage), which included twenty bowl appearances. His bowl record was 8-10-2.[12] Vince Dooley was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997 [13]

[edit] Post-Dooley Era: 1989-2000

Ray Goff took over as head coach in 1989 and coached the Bulldogs until 1995, posting a 46-34-1 record (.574 winning percentage). His teams were 1-6 against Florida and 2-4-1 against Auburn and and won no conference titles. During his time at Georgia, Goff was often derisively referred to as Ray "Goof", a nickname given to him by former Florida and current South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier. Goff had a 2-2 bowl record.[14]

Jim Donnan took over as head coach in 1996 and coached the Bulldogs until 2000, posting a 40-19-0 record (.678 winning percentage). Donnan's teams produced no conference titles and were 1-3 against each of Auburn, Florida and Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs lost to all three rivals in 1999 and 2000. Donnan had a 4-0 bowl record.[15]

[edit] Mark Richt Era: 2001-current

The current head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs is Mark Richt, who joined the Bulldogs in 2001 after serving as the offensive coordinator of the Florida State Seminoles under Bobby Bowden.[16] Since Richt's head coaching tenure began, Georgia has won two SEC championships, 2002 and 2005. [8] Including bowl games, Richt’s record, as of December 1, 2006, was 60-17-0 (a .779 winning percentage). His bowl record through 2005 was 3-2.[17]

[edit] Conference Affiliations

Georgia was a founding member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA), the first collegiate athletic conference formed in the United States. Georgia participated in the SIAA from its establishment in 1895 until 1921. Durings its tenure in the SIAA, Georgia was conference co-champion in two years, 1896 and 1920.[18] In 1921, the Bulldogs, along with 12 other teams, left the SIAA and formed the Southern Conference.[19] During its time in the Southern Conference, the team never won a conference championship. In 1932, the Georgia Bulldogs left the Southern Conference to form and join the Southeastern Conference (SEC), where Georgia has won the third most SEC football championships, with 12, behind only Tennessee (13) and Alabama (21).[8]

[edit] Traditions

  • Uga (pronounced UH-GUH) is the name of a lineage of white English bulldogs, which have served as the mascot of the University of Georgia since 1956. The current mascot is Uga VI. Deceased Ugas are interred in a mausoleum near the main entrance to Sanford Stadium.
  • Glory, Glory is the fight song for the Georgia Bulldogs and was sung at football games as early as the 1890's. The fight song was arranged in its current form in 1915.
  • The ringing of the Chapel Bell after a Georgia victory started in the 1890's when the playing field was located near the Chapel and freshmen were compelled to ring the Chapel's bell until midnight to celebrate the victory.[2] Today, freshmen are no longer required to do the chore, with students, alumni, and fans taking their place.
  • "How 'Bout Them Dogs" is a slogan of recent vintage that first surfaced in the late 1970's and has become a battle cry of Bulldog fans.[2] The slogan received national attention and exposure when Georgia won the national championship in 1980 and wore services proclaimed "How 'Bout Them Dogs!"
  • The "Dog Walk" is a tradition that was revived in the 2001 season that features the football players walking through a gathering of fans on the way to Sanford Stadium.[20]

[edit] Rivalries

The Bulldogs have three main rivals, Auburn, Georgia Tech and Florida Gators. All three rivalries commenced over 100 years ago. With long rivalries, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement over the records between the schools. For example, Georgia's records show two fewer games than do Georgia Tech's records.
