Georgia Tradition 10-Win Seasons (Total) by Division I-A Teams:
Tradition: “The handing down of beliefs, legends, and customs from generation to generation.” Georgia played its first football game in 1892. Since that time the Bulldogs have built the tradition that is the standard in college football. Through the years, hundreds of young men of great character have accepted the challenge and come to Athens to become part of that tradition. They have become a part of the legends of the past, and the legends that are molding the future.
