Some sad news out of the University of Georgia, Uga VII, “Loran’s Best,” has passed away today as a result of a heart attack. He had the shortest tenure of any of the Uga family, but he did compile a winning record of 16-7. He made his debut on August 30, 2008 during the Georgia Southern game.
As a sign of mourning, there will be no live mascot during Georgia’s game this Saturday. Rather, a wreath will be placed on Uga’s doghouse on the north sideline.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be released.
