Nobody can say for sure whether the dog was acting out of playfulness or malice, but Auburn receiver Robert Baker was nearly bit all the same 20 years ago when he encountered Georgia's bulldog mascot Uga V.
The memorable 1996 meeting between Georgia and Auburn featured plenty of history. It was the 100th playing of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry -- a series that continues Saturday at Sanford Stadium -- and it became the SEC's first overtime game, with Georgia winning 56-49 after four extra periods. But two decades later, the game is perhaps best known for the moment where Uga stood his ground against the encroaching Tiger.
