Georgia Bulldogs History
Georgia Bulldogs History - Go Dawgs!
One hundred thirteen years ago, 24-year old University
of Georgia chemistry professor Dr. Charles Herty made the
first introduction of the sport of football to his alma
mater. He had become fascinated with the game as a graduate
student at Johns Hopkins. When he returned to the University
as a member of the faculty in the Fall of 1891, Herty walked
out across an old field where students often participated
in unorganized recreation. The field rested in a quadrangle
bordered by campus buildings, most specifically New College
on one side and Moore College on one end, with the Chapel
on a corner. He was remembered as having walked onto the
field carrying a Walter Camp rulebook which devoted itself
to this new style of rugby commonly called “football.”
He told the students about the game he had seen in the
East. He helped them prepare a field on this quadrangle
which would be named for Dr. Herty only a few days later.
Over the next few months a great tradition was born. On
January 25, 1892, Georgia played Mercer College on Herty
Field. Then, through the friendship of Herty and Johns Hopkins
classmate Dr. George Petrie, who was a faculty member at
Auburn, a game was played on Feb. 20 between the two schools
at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park, marking the inaugural
game of what became the South’s oldest collegiate
rivalry. Football in the South had begun.
In the years that followed, Georgia attracted some of the
most successful coaches in the history of the game —Warner,Cunningham,
Stegeman, Woodruff, Mehre, Butts, and Dooley. Many of college
football’s greatest players came to Athens to wear
the red and black— McWhorter, Smith, Maffett, Hartman,
Sinkwich, Rauch, Trippi, Tarkenton, Stanfill, Butler, Walker,
Hoage, Hearst, Zeier, Greene, Pollack and many, many more.
Over the past century, Georgia teams have won 679 games,
been to more different bowl games than any team in America
(18), earned the sixth-most bowl invitations in the history
of college football (40), made 227 television appearances
(since 1959), been recognized as national champions five
times (1927,'42,'46,'68, and 1980), won 11 Southeastern
Conference titles, boasted two Heisman Trophy winners, two
Maxwell Award winners and one Outland Award winner, and
has resting in the center of campus perhaps the most impressive
monument to its heritage — Sanford Stadium.
Tradition is defined as “the handing down of beliefs,
legends, and customs from generation to generation.”
In the last 100-plus years, Georgia has built a tradition
that is a standard in college football. Hundreds of young
men of great character have accepted the challenge to come
to Athens and earn a part of the great tradition that is
Georgia Football.
Georgia's Nickname
Many old timers say that it came from Yale, with whom UGA
had strong ties to in its early years. Our first president,
Abraham Baldwin was a Yale man. On November 3, 1920 Morgan
Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote about the school nickname
and said, "The Georgia Bulldog would sound good because
there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity."
On November 6, 1920 after a UGA football game, Cliff Wheatley
used the name "Bulldogs" five times in his story
and the name has been used ever since.
Uga
One of the best known mascots in the country, Uga is from
a line owned by Frank W. (Sonny) Sieler of Savannah, GA.
since 1956. The current line began with Uga I, a solid white
English Bulldog who was the grandson of a former Georgia
mascot who made the trip to the 1943 Rose Bowl. Perhaps
the most famous Uga was Uga V who made appearances in the
movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".
He also graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. Uga IV was
the first mascot invited to the downtown athletic club and
was escorted through the banquet hall by the president of
the Downtown Athletic Club and was photographed with Heisman
Trophy winner Herschel Walker. He was also the only mascot
to make it to the Final Four basketball tournament.
The Georgia "G" Helmet
The unique Georgia helmet featuring the oval "G"
has become a tradition that is known across the country
as the logo of the Georgia Bulldogs. The basic design was
instituted by Vince Dooley when he became head coach in
1964. He had been impressed with the look of the helmet
worn by the Green Bay Packers which featued the oval "G"
but in a different color scheme. Dooley settled on the black
oval "G" surrounded by a white oval background
resting on each side of the bright red helmet. A white stripe
was placed over the top. The design has remained basically
the same ever since; however, a smaller black stripe was
added inside the white stripe over the top in 1996 by new
head coach Jim Donnan.
Silver Britches
The pants were the innovation of Coach Wally Butts in 1939.
Through the years fans refer to the pants in their chants.
In the early fifties, the cheer "Go, you silver britches"
came about. Vince Dooley redesigned the uniform in 1964
and made the pants white. He reinstated the silver pants
in 1980 which turned out to be the championship season.
The Chapel Bell
The chapel bell is rung after a Georgia victory. The tradition
began the 1890's when the football field was located only
yards from the chapel. Students rang the bell in celebration
after a big Georgia win. The chore used to be reserved for
freshman, but now students and alumni rush to the Chapel
after a football victory.
Redcoat Band
A 375-member marching band. First directed in 1905 by R.E.
Haughey, the band has only had seven directors. It is considered
by many to be the "heart" of the Bulldog spirit.
"Glory, Glory"
Among the University's oldest and most lasting traditions
is the school fight song, "Glory, Glory" which
is sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
It was sung at games as early as the 1890s, but arranged
in its present form by Georgia musician-composer Hugh Hodgson
in 1915. There have been many Bulldog songs through the
years and at least two collections dating back to 1909 have
been published, but none have enjoyed more acceptance than
"Glory, Glory."
"How 'Bout Them Dogs"
Battle cry of Bulldog fans that surfaced in the 1970's.
It gained national attention when a major wire service picked
it up after Georgia's victory over Notre Dame in the Sugar
Bowl to claim the national championship. Many newspapers
all over the country used it as a headline.
The Hedges
This reference to Sanford Stadium dates back to the early
1930s. Famous English privet hedges surround the playing
field in Sanford Stadium. They have been in place since
the stadium was dedicated in 1929. "Between the hedges"
is a popular phrase that was supposedly coined by legendary
Atlanta sportswriter Grantland Rice when he said of an upcoming
game "that the Bulldogs will have their opponent 'between
the hedges".
The Arch
The historic arch which appears on the University of Georgia
emblem sits on North Campus and was installed in 1864. Freshman
were forbidden to walk under the arch for years. Once rigidly
enforced, it is still observed by many who learn of the
tradition during orientation.
Alma Mater
From the hills of Georgia’s northland
Beams thy noble brow,
And the sons of Georgia rising
Pledge with sacred vow.
‘Neath the pine tree’s stately shadow
Spread thy riches rare,
And thy sons, dear Alma Mater,
Will thy treasure share.
And thy daughters proudly join thee,
Take their rightful place,
Side by side into the future,
Equal dreams embrace.
Through the ages, Alma Mater,
Men will look to thee;
Thou the fairest of the Southland
Georgia’s Varsity.
Chorus:
Alma Mater, thee we’ll honor,
True and loyal be,
Ever crowned with praise and glory,
Georgia, hail to thee.
Bulldog Marching Song
Georgia! Georgia! Hear the Bulldog growl!
Scrapping, snapping, listen to him howl!
Here he comes a running to the field,
Georgia’s team is never going to yield.
Win or lose, the other fellow knows
Georgia fights until the whistle blows.
Red and Black wave on for Georgia’s Varsity
And Georgia’s victory!
Glory
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
G-E-O-R-G-I-A.
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
G-E-O-R-G-I-A.
Hail To Georgia
Hail to Georgia, down in Dixie!
A college honor’d fair, and true;
The Red and Black is her standard,
proudly it waves.
Streaming today and the ages through.
She’s the fairest in the Southland
We’ll pledge our love to her for aye;
To that college dear we’ll ring a cheer,
All hail to dear old U-G-A!
Hail, our Varsity of Georgia!
Thy sons will e’er thy glory sing:
To thee we’ll ever be faithful, loyal and true;
Ever and aye will thy praises ring.
Grand old time of ours at Georgia
The happiest days they’ll be always;
Alma mater, fair beyond compare,
All hail to dear old U-G-A!
Going Back
Going back, going back
Going back to Athens town.
Going back, going back
To the best old place around.
Going back, going back
To hear that grand old sound
Of a chapel bell and a Georgia yell,
Going back to Athens town.
