Albert and AJberta love to give hugs to Florida fans of all ages and are always ready to make people smile and do the Gator chomp. Albert and Alberta get the most notice at the annual homecoming celebration. The mascots get top billing as they ride in a convertible during the homecoming parade. They are also the ones to kick off the festivities at the Gator Growl pep rally. They are always clad in their most formal attire for special occasions such as these. In 2003 Albert and Alberta were immortalized in bronze statues outside of Emerson Alumni Hall. These figures have become a prime photo spot for people visiting the UF campus, not to mention a fixture for graduation photos in cap and gown with loved ones. Albert is one of the most popular mascots in the country, and has made the Capital One All-Mascot team along with other SEC rival schools such as Tennessee, Auburn and Kentucky.
