Team in Transit, a student documentary project about what goes into transporting the football team to away games, will premiere throughout Thanksgiving weekend.

In 60 minutes, the Gators football team produces 80 pounds of dirty clothes.

For one away game, 200 sets of uniforms for 70 players must be transported.

Nike provides each Gators player with five different styles of cleats.

Thirteen UF students and two UF professors spent their semester working on a project to explain, using multimedia, everything that goes into transporting the Gators football team to an away game.

"It doesn't all magically appear," said Jillian Rogers, a 22-year-old journalism senior and external communications coordinator for the project.

The group is premiering its project, called Team in Transit, online throughout the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

The group decided to document this season's trip to Auburn University.

The website, teamintransit.com, will have videos and photos from the trip to Auburn, Ala., on Oct. 15.

Most of the students who worked on the project are in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. The project is the first to come out of the college's 21st Century News Laboratory.

"This is the start of what's to come," Rogers said.

Alligator staff members have been involved with the Team in Transit project.
