Thought UGA stood for University of Georgia in Athens, not University of GeorgiA
i concur with that statment, it DOES stand for Univ Georgia at Athens —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.5.127.186 (talk) 18:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

- That is not the case, UGA is an acronym for University of GeorgiA (i.e. GA is the state abbrevition for Georgia). There are no other schools named "University of Georgia - Location" in the University System of Georgia, so there is no need for distinction by city in Georgia Public University acronyms as you might see in other states like California (e.g. UCSD - University of California, San Diego and UCLA - University of California, Los Angeles).--Roswell native 07:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bulldog illustration
I'd have to check to be sure, but I suspect that the "cartoon rendition" predates the actual real-life Uga by many years. The bulldog was UGA's mascot long before Uga came along, and I know there are bulldog illlustrations that predate Uga by some time. As such, the description of the illustrated bulldog as being "secondary" might not be accurate. One must also remember that the official costume mascot of the University is "Hairy Dog". Uga is certainly more well known and more beloved than Hairy Dog or the vintage bulldog illustrations, but I'm not sure what his "official" status is in respect to the other incarnations.PurpleChez 14:29, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Uga.gif
Image:Uga.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
