The University of Georgia’s winningest mascot in school history, the late Uga X, is being honored with his own bobblehead. Fondly known as “Que”, the former UGA mascot died peacefully at his home in Savannah in January. Que retired following the 2022 season after becoming the most decorated of all the Bulldog mascots. He compiled a football record of 91-18, presided over two SEC titles and the 2021 and 2022 College Football Playoff national championships, and seven New Year’s Six bowl appearances.

The bobblehead goes on sale today in several Athens stores and online.

Inspectors now know what caused a collision that permanently closed the Mount Vernon bridge over Interstate 285 in Sandy Springs last Wednesday, causing major traffic delays. An inspection shows the 18-wheeler involved in the incident was almost four feet over the legal height and 40,000 pounds overweight. The driver has since been cited, authorities confirm. The fine for the weight limit violation is five cents for each pound, which would be $2,000.
