One of the best parts about college football is the pre-game partying, the die hard fans wearing humorous costumes, and of course the rampant tailgating.

These pictures were taken in the mid-town area of Gainesville on University Avenue across the street from the University of Florida campus.

The upcoming contest was between the Florida Gators and the visiting Charleston Southern Buccaneers on September 5th 2009 at 7:00 PM in "The Swamp" (Ben Hill Griffin Stadium). It ended with the Gators winning with 62 points over Charleston Southern with 3 points.

Like many Gator fans, we watched the game at several bars and restaurants in the area. A few of the establishments we visited included The Swamp Restaurant, Salty Dog, Grog House, and Gator City (formerly The Purple Porpoise).

A new feature (at least new to me) at this pre-game experience was the Gator Adventure Productions booth with several live American Alligators on display. For a small fee, you could sit and have your picture taken while holding a real live adolescent gator. For safety these baby gators had their jaws securely taped shut.
