One of the Chick-fil-A cows shows off its motorcycling skills during the parade.

Cows, cows everywhere: This one motored down the parade route on a Segway...

... while another hitched a ride on -- wait for it -- a motorized cooler.

The Auburn University cheerleaders wave to the crowds along the route. Over 10,000 parade and football fans attended the event which featured the University of Virginia Band, Auburn University band, Chick-fil-A cows, local bands, floats and motorcycles.

Note to cows: Aubie, the Auburn Tigers mascot, rode in style -- in a car.

Jasmyn Wilkins, Miss Georgia USA 2012, waves to the crowd as she makes her way along the route.
