There will only be one iconic mascot in attendance at Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium for Saturday's highly anticipated SEC showdown between Texas and Georgia.

Charles Seiler, who is the handler for the Georgia mascot Uga XI, told David Eckert of the Austin American-Statesman that the English Bulldog will not be making the road trip to Austin, Texas, because of difficult logistics.

Uga XI also missed the team's road trip to Kentucky earlier this season.

"That's a lot of wear and tear on the dog," Seiler said.
