Thousands of Gamecock fans get to every home game hours in advance of kickoff to kick off parties in the parking lots around Williams-Brice Stadium, and GamecockCentral.com will be at each game searching for some of the best tailgaters around.

Following each game, we'll post pictures of the tailgating festivities from the previous Saturday. In addition, our staff will select what we feel was the top tailgate we saw that day. The winner of the top tailgate each week will receive a free month's subscription to our ultimate ticket package. To see some of the benefits you get with the ultimate ticket, click here.

The winner for the Troy Unversity game is a member of the site that uses the handle cockhardt. Click here to view a few photos from Saturday.

To let us know about your tailgate, just email your location to GamecockCentral.com photographer Dana Harley at spool@gamecockcentral.com. He will do everything he can to make sure a photographer gets in touch with you and seeks you out at the next home game.

In addition, to qualify for the prize, you've got to get in touch with us. Check the site each Monday to see our Gamecock tailgate gallery. If your group is the winner, simply email GamecockCentral.com photographer Dana Harley at spool@gamecockcentral.com. He will get you signed up for the best coverage of Gamecock sports. Or if you're already a member, we'll extend your membership by one month. (Note: We will take names in the parking lot to verify that those who contact him are the actual winners.)
