Who scored ALL15 points in Georgia's 15-9 victory over Yale during the dedication game of Sanford Stadium in 1929? Bonus is telling me how he did it....

BTW, good job, wlayton!

Found this:

Vernon (\"Catfish\") Smith of Georgia's little bulldogs helped block and then picked up a punt made by Yale's big bulldogs, ran it over for a touchdown, kicked the goal. In addition he did all Georgia's punting and scored another touchdown by snatching a forward pass. Capt. Joe Boland of Georgia played bulldoggedly at centre while behind him Fullback Rothstein got away with murder and Halfback Waugh was hell. The Georgians snaked out of their new stadium to light bonfires. Georgia 15, Yale 0.

Hey, no fair looking it up! Trivia means you know it, LimeyDawg.

Next question: who is the only football-playing Tereshinski not to play for UGA? What position does/did he play, and for what college football team?

Got to disagree with you there. If I have no incentive to look it up, I'll never learn. The interesting thing about THAT particular question was that it took quite a bit of digging. And, by digging, I read some great smack talk by Catfish on the Yale running back. My actual knowledge of football is limited to the drunken staggers between the stadium and Lipscomb hall while I attended. I can tell you the best way to smuggle a bottle of vodka into the stadium, but if you are going to limit the game to knowledge without research, heh, I'm out. BTW, you SHOULD be encouraging people to look this up and increase their knowledge of the greatest program in college sports.

Here's mine, and since I had to dig for the answer to that question, I learned this, hence it becomes part of the trivia game.

Catfish made a tackle on a Yale player that elicited the comment \"Say here. There are some things that just don't go in this game.\"

Catfish, in the great Georgia tradition of smack talk said \"You're right. And that thing is _____ _____.\" What was the two word answer Catfish gave to this Yale player????

Okay, this one's a little easier: Of whom was Vince Dooley speaking when he said \"I have always had a great affection for those who came off the bench and performed, and he did that and had a great time?\"

Okay, here's one about UGA's prior mascots....

After the reign of the 1894 mascot ended, there was no official mascot until 1944. From 1944 until the UGA era, there were 3 mascots. Can you give me their names?? Or at LEAST give me one of them??

Hint: There is a bronze statue of one of them in front of Memorial Hall!

Mike. Those other two are buried deep....

Herschel in his 1st game against UT?

You're right! Mike is the one who stands bronzed on the campus! The other two are Mr. Angel and Butch!!
