AnswerYes, class of 1995. I was also in the Redcoat Band during my four years at UGA. Can I use one of your cartoons for my page or to print out for the office? Yes, by all means! I love exposure even if I'm not there to bask in the spotlight! :-) Just let me know, give me credit, and if possible, a link to the Anti-Orange. Yes, and you can find all kinds of neat stuff at the AO Store! What other cartoons do you draw? At UGA, I had a cartoon published in The Red & Black (the student newspaper) called "Buster Bulldog." Now, I work on Tales From Band Camp, a weekly comic strip about music and marching band. Its main audience consists of high school and college band students, band alumni, and music teachers. Do you have an icon I could use to link your page?
Why don't you have more Bulldog news, rumors, and recruiting information? I do not include that kind of information on my page because there are lots of sources that can do that kind of thing so much better than I can. This is more of a spirit & fan page. Check out our RSS page for news headlines. I think you are a *(@)#$(& for making fun of all these other schools. Who do you think you are? First of all, you have to take everything on this page with a grain of salt. It is meant in a good-natured kind of rivalry way. Remember those long family trips when you had to sit next to your brother or sister and they tormented you the whole way? "OW! Quit it!" "This is my half of the car - don't cross this line." "MOM! Tell him/her to stop touching me!!!!" Ahhh, the memories...anyway, if you didn't know this already, your brother/sister did that just to poke fun at you and to bug the crap outta you. I do not mean any disrespect to fans, schools, players, bands, family members, yo mamma, pets, grandmothers, mascots, and anybody else I left out. And if it still bothers you after reading this, then GET A LIFE!!!! It's just a freakin' football game!! No, unfortunately I cannot. You'll need to contact the administrators of those websites, because I am not associated with them. Help! I need tickets to the Georgia/Florida game! Can you help me? Your best bet is to look at some of the online forums for tickets. Or, for prime guaranteed tickets, check out
Why do I get a red 'X' when I try to link to one of your comics? I use something that doesn't allow hotlinking, which is basically when you take the URL (web address) of a graphic and use it on another site like your homepage, the DawgVent, etc. I don't do it to be mean. I do it because each time a file is accessed off of my server space (including graphics), it costs me bandwidth. If I go over my alloted bandwidth amount, then I am charged extra, and we don't want that now, do we?? :-) How did UGA adopt the name "Bulldogs?" 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. 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. How did Georgia adopt the "G"? 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. When Mark Richt took over in 2000, the stripe was removed. Why does Georgia wear 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 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. 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." Where did "How 'Bout Them Dawgs!" start? "How 'Bout Them Dawgs!" was the 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. What does "Between the Hedges" mean? 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 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. Where can I find Georgia "red pants?" You can find them at Dick Ferguson's in Athens. That would be Dawgmaster...now seen around here occasionally as DM. January 1996 as a guestbook script to his site. What was its address for the first few years? pluto.centurionsys.com then www.dawgnation.com/dawgvent using the generous hosting of Centurion Systems. The creator of the Vent had a website that the Vent was a part of. What was his site called? The Junkyard
When did the Vent go "corporate" (become part of a network)? Towards the end of 1998, the Vent merged with the existing AllianceSports UGA site. The AllianceSports site actually had a "competing" forum when it first launched.
