What other nicknames for UGA athletes am I missing that are/were good ones?

Goal Line Stalker and Meat Cleaver are epic. Cornwash was pretty good. Didn't we have a Mudcat?

greg "muddy" waters for one. listing to larry munson radio show before ga- fla game robert "happy" dicks lead uga on to the field. larry munson all hyped-up shouted out " here comes the bulldogs with dicks out front"! we all looked at each other and said "did he just say that"

I've heard of Jimmy Womack, but never knew he had a nickname. Thanks for the update!

Jimmy had the honor of blocking for two of the best backs to play the game. James Brooks at Warner Robins and of course Herschel. Just a great athlete.

That's also my favorite nickname!

A good one from the early 1960's was "The Automatic Toe" Durward Pennington.

Today's place kickers would consider those upright, square-toe-shoed, straight-on kickers of the past to be relics. Antiques. Like Durward Pennington, whose extra point in the 1959 Georgia-Auburn game enabled the Bulldogs to clinch the Southeastern Conference championship.
A soccer-style kicker would view Pennington, who died on Tuesday of a heart attack while returning from Amelia Island to his home in Gainesville, with such amusement that they probably think his type should be honored by a history museum.
There was more amusement with the way Pete Gogolak place kicked, however, for Cornell in 1961 when he kicked college football's first soccer-style field goal. Some critics said the style would never last. Pennington that same year was a senior at Georgia and had something of a novel experience when, against Kentucky, he booted a 47-yard field goal--but the Bulldogs were off-sides. Durward backed up five yards and calmly kicked it through again, this time from 52 yards.
After the '59 championship season, Pennington played on losing teams the next two years but was regarded as one of the top kickers in college football with his sure-footed style--emanating from a long, swinging leg action that he perfected while growing up in Albany where his coaches Bernie Reid, John Tillitski, and Pat Field were disciples of Wallace Butts.
"There was no question where I was going to school," Durward told me last spring in Gainesville where he lived out his life. "I had made up my mind that it would be Georgia if I had an opportunity." With the Bulldogs, he became known as the "Automatic Toe," leading the team in scoring three straight years. His toe was the difference in the three games Georgia won in 1961.

Good one, JudgeLarryDawg. That definitely deserves a blue-star upvote for sourcing the find.

Yep, I added him last night as a possible starter at right tackle on UGA's all-time football list, but didn't get around to updating this thread's list of UGA Football player nicknames.
