It's no longer the Hardees Trophy FWIW

It's called the Palmetto Bowl Trophy now.

Old:



New:



Credit to Silverstreak for posting the correct new trophy. Think I got the one that was in transition from the old name/trophy to new name/trophy.

The War Canoe pre-dates the Florida-FSU rivalry. The UF yearbook was actually called The Seminole as well, dating back to 1910.

As I understand it, Sewanee was a huge rival for Vandy, maybe our biggest rival. And Tulane was a big rival too. We played them on a semi frequent basis well into the 80s.

The Bourbon Barrel trophy was retired when Indiana ended our rivalry. It won't be back even if the rivalry is renewed.

UK is extremely sensitive about being associated with alcohol products. The school worked with UT to end the Beer Barrel trophy, too.

LSU vs Tulane / Battle for the Rag | Tiger


LSU sent Tulane home with that rag out of pity back in the 70s. That thing has to be completely saturated in blood by now.

Though GT left the SEC in the 1960's, the rivalry was maintained with an annual game through 1987.

What's the history of the Alabama vs Penn State rivalry? That one surprises me, because I don't remember much between the two. I would've thought that USC would be a bigger non-SEC rival to Bama then Penn State.
