The Buzz -- Attendance at the University of Florida engenders deep-seated loyalties; Gators athletics, especially football, is a litmus test for dedication to the school. Homecoming week, as a result, is all about team spirit and corporate activity. The highlight is the football showdown in the Swamp, UF's enormous stadium, but throughout the preceding week, events for students and alumni promote sociability and anticipate victory. They include a lively parade, an immensely popular student-run pep rally (Gator Growl), an alumni barbecue, a pageant, outdoor concerts, a race, and all sorts of parties and celebrations.
