Georgia super-fan Mike ‘Big Dawg’ Woods dies at age 65

Georgia fans — and fans of other SEC schools, as well — might not have known Mike Woods’ name, but they certainly knew who he was.

Woods, known as “Big Dawg,” painted the Bulldogs’ logo on his head for football games; he died Wednesday at age 65. WSBTV.com reported that the Madison County coroner’s office confirmed that Woods died from a cardiac issue. He had undergone a triple bypass in 2015.

Woods was well-known by players because of his support of the program. Some of them took to social media to share their thoughts on his death.
