Obviously it's a non-SEC/SEC rival but I do like the Governor's Cup trophy we play for with UofL.



Did Clemson and South Carolina ever pick up that crescent and tree trophy idea?

The "Battle Line" rivalry between Arkansas and Missouri has got to be the most contrived and manufactured rivalry in all of college football.

UT/Bama traditionally has had the winning team smoke cigars, but I don't know if they do that anymore. But that's not just limited to that game, obviously

For USC vs. Clemson we had the Hardee's Trophy, but that was a terrible name so they're renaming it the Palmetto Trophy or Palmetto Cup.

Because the midwest was settled by Nordics who can keep football in perspective and exchange a friendly rivalry trophy, while the south was settled by Scots-Irish folk who hold real grudges.

The Bear Barrel 1925-1998 (UK and UT) (retired due to UK player killed by drunk driver)


The Golden Egg since 1927 (Ole Miss & Miss St.)


Looks like it got an upgrade recently.


The Iron Bowl Trophy (Foy ODK) since 1948 (Alabama and Auburn)


The Boot sine 1996 (LSU and Arkansas)


The Magnolia Trophy since 2008 (Ole Miss and LSU) (I think it's recently gotten an upgrade too)



The Oar since 2009 (Florida and Georgia)

They made our Missouri Alumni Association groups drop the moniker "ARMOGeddon" that we've been using for the pregame tailgate we hosted.

Florida had an indian warr canoe with Miami, but Miami decided to keep the canoe in 1987. Their excuse was that we don't play that often, so they will keep the canoe as a symbot of their former rivalry.

They are douche bags. We tried to get the canoe after the 2008 game with a resolution but they declined.
