ATHENS — Former Georgia mascot Uga IX, the white English bulldog known as Russ, has died only 1 month after giving up his title. The Savannah, Georgia-based Seiler family, the long-time owners of the Georgia line of mascots, says Russ died in his sleep early Monday morning. Russ, who was 11, retired before the Nov. 21 game against Georgia Southern when the collar was officially passed along to his successor, Uga X, who is known as Que.
