Tailgaters were "warming up" for the first game of the 2010 season with cookouts, cornhole and more!

CBS19 spoke to folks who began tailgating at 11:00am, seven hours before kick-off. They were joined by other Cavalier fans in front of University Hall in Charlottesville.

The tailgaters say they take their football very seriously, but "fun" is a contact sport. "We set up early, play some cornhole, have a few libations," says Cavalier fan Suzanne Moore. "We cookout too, doesn't matter if it's breakfast, lunch or dinner!"

Scott Stadium was not sold out Saturday but fans report that the stadium was a sea of orange with people showing their support.

Saturday is the last time Hoo Nation will get to tailgate until September 25. That's when the Cavaliers return home to face Virginia Military Institute. But folks at "Camp Wahoo" say, they tailgate every game, home or away.
