What led to the iconic photo of Uga V and the Auburn player?

In 1996, a photographer for the Montgomery Advertiser snapped a picture that is somewhat of a legend in the world of college football. The image shows Uga V, the University of Georgia’s live bulldog mascot, lunging toward an Auburn University football player during a game. The photograph isn’t just an unforgettable image ; it speaks to the depth of the rivalry between the two teams. The annual matchup is famously referred to as the "Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry." The teams first went head-to-head on the football field more than 130 years ago, on February 20, 1892. Watch this video to hear the story behind the photo of Uga and the Auburn player. It’s been 30 years since that picture was taken, and Charles Seiler, the man holding Uga’s leash, told USA TODAY what led to that historic moment and what he says is the “most famous” picture of himself. Back in 1996, football stadiums didn’t have jumbotrons. So, to see the play, Seiler and Uga V had to move closer to the field to follow the action. “It was a long play,” Seiler says. “An Auburn player made a good play. Caught the ball, ran in the end zone.” The

Haunted Fort Benning: a new book explores the post's spookiest stories

How does an author who doesn’t believe in ghosts write a book about the haunted history of Fort Benning? Bridgett Sharp Siter ’s newest book, “ Haunted Fort Benning : Murder, Mystery and Mayhem on the South’s Most Colorful Army Post,” explores the area’s eerie past and retells stories about haunted porches, wandering spirits and murders that were never solved. Siter spoke to the Ledger-Enquirer about her time at Fort Benning, how she became a ghost storyteller who doesn’t believe in ghosts, and how all these stories made it into her book. For more than two decades, Siter worked at Fort Benning in the Morale, Wellness and Recreation (MWR) Department before moving to the Maneuver Capability Development Integration Directorate (M-CDID) in 2019. She started, however, as a part-time reporter at the Fort Benning Bayonet, and her editor tasked her with finding ghost stories for an October issue. She wasn’t thrilled. “I am a super skeptic,” she said. But, although she doesn’t necessarily believe in them all, she loves to tell stories. “I’m a storyteller who loves history,” Siter said. “I’m quick to say I’m not a historian.” Col. John Tate and the Kashita warriors Siter then stumbled onto Col. John
