- Charles Seiler: People ask me, "Why is that dog sitting on the ice?", and I tell them, "Because he's hot".
- Dan Magill: Most people mispronounce the name... they call him "Oo-ga", but it's pronounced, "Uh-ga", as in "muggah".
- Cecelia Seiler: From the git-go, Sonny Seiler had it in his mind that this might be the mascot. It was white... he just filled the bill! And, you know, looking back on him, he wasn't really all that pretty.
- Voice of Uga: I'd like it better if they changed the name to something with "hot dog" in it. Or bacon. Can't go wrong with bacon.
