Yeah that would be cool, but I'm pretty sure I read where South Carolina was miffed about it.


Hell, when I saw the pic, I was miffed about it. That is an odd oversight.

Florida vs Miami (FL) | Seminole War Canoe Trophy (named to piss off Free Shoes U perhaps)


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.

You'd think a state known to most outsiders for its horse racing and liquor would embrace it.

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.

Wow, this just screams that Missouri belongs in the big ten. Love those guys though.

I still have phone like that, not in that color scheme of course, in my house and it is how folks still reach me after all these years. It even has caller ID.



(picks up phone)

ME : Hello
Them : Howdy, this is Clem
ME : Howdy Clem, how are you doing today

(through conversation I have ID'ed the caller)



My caller ID actually works sometimes before I even pick up the phone. Like when the phone rings around 11:30 I know even before I pick it up it is Bubber calling me about lunch.

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

I remember Vandy and Tulane playing most of the 80's. I always thought they were good matchups and games. They should renew their series.

Yes, and State should renew their rivalry with Southern Mississippi.
