There is sad news out of the college football world. A former University of Georgia mascot, Uga X — better known to many as “Que” — has died. He was 10 years old.
The University of Georgia announced on Tuesday that Que crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in his sleep. He began his time with the Bulldogs on November 21, 2015, during halftime at a Georgia-Georgia Southern matchup. It was a night game, and the team’s band asked fans to “light up” Stanford Stadium as the fourth quarter approached. Georgia went on to win the game, and the rest is history.
During his tenure, Que was there through two SEC titles, two national championships and a host of bowl games. He retired in 2022 with a 91-18 record, becoming the most decorated Georgia Bulldog mascot ever.
We are saddened to announce that Uga X, fondly known as Que, died peacefully in his sleep earlier this morning.
Born May 27, 2013, he formally began his tenure in a collaring ceremony at the Georgia-Georgia Southern football game on Nov. 21, 2015. Que retired following the 2022… pic.twitter.com/Rqypoopavy

Heartbroken on the passing of our beloved mascot Uga X. Que was a true champion Dawg, beloved by all. Condolences to the Seiler family. He’ll now rest in the cemetery between the hedges and be with us always. ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/lY8WOpd5kf

One of my favorite photos of all-time with Que during my final year of grad school at Georgia. This was a few games before he officially became Uga X and go on to be the most decorated Uga in Bulldog history.
RIP to a Damn Good Dawg. pic.twitter.com/qalFZ0XVQl
