No matter what college football team you support, this is sad news. Uga VII, the four-year-old English bulldog who has walked the University of Georgia sidelines every game since last year's season opener, died yesterday, reports CNN.

The purebred pup's death is attributed to heart-related causes and took everyone by surprise, including his owner, Frank "Sonny" Seiler. "We are all in a state of shock," Seiler said on the University's athletics Web site, georgiadogs.com. "We had no warning whatsoever."

This weekend, there will be no live mascot at the game. Rather, a wreath will hang on Uga's doghouse on the north sideline. The University doesn't expect to choose a replacement until next year.
