What trophy do you and your rival play for?

[Bearkatpresident]

My counterpart at Stephen F. Austin wants to put a little wager on the SHSU/SFA Rivalry game. So, I thought this would be a good time to start a rivalry trophy tradition. I know that SFA/NWST already does this with Cheif Caddo. What is your school's rivalry trophy?

Cal Poly and UC Davis play the Horseshoe Classic for the "Shoe".

The Shoe now resides in Cal Poly's trophy case.

App State and Western Carolina battle once a year for the "Old Mountain Jug." AKA - An old Moonshine jug with each school's mascot on opposite sides.

When Middle Tennessee and Troy jumped to 1-A we left behind traditional 1-AA rivalries in Tennessee State and Jacksonville State respectively. The fans of the messageboards of both schools joined forces with those schools SGA's to manufacture a rivaly by competing for a trophy. They now call the game "The Battle for the Palladium." The wooden statue of the goddess Athena (the Palladium) was handcarved by a lady from South China, Maine and is valued over $2,000.

Middle Tennessee will travel to Troy on November 20th which will be the fourth time the two teams will have played each other for the trophy. It will be the 2nd time the Battle for the Palladium will be televised and for the first time nationally on ESPN2.

Five years ago, this trophy did not exist. Amazing that if you do a Google Search on "Palladium trophy" you get hundreds and thousands of links relating to Middle Tennessee and Troy and their annual rivalry.

Formerly, TTU and Middle Tennessee played for a totem pole, the correct name of which is "Shinny Ninny", but they call it "Harvey" for some odd reason. It was usually fought over in a Thanksgiving Day contest. They currently hold it, and probably won't have to give it up anytime soon.

VERY unlikely. There has been no talk of resuming games in '09 and I doubt we have room on the schedule anyway with GSU, MSU owing us games plus Iowa State in '09.

The only trophy NDSU plays for in 2007 is the Dakota marker trophy. And the only trophies NDSU will play for in '08 and beyond are the national title and the Dakota marker.

(there is no way of knowing right now) The facts remain, we already have AT LEAST 9 games scheduled for 2009. 8 Gateway and @Iowa State on Sept 5. I wouldn't mind the rivalry to be started up again, but realistically it probably wont happen in '09.

[EKU05]

"The Battle of the Bluegrass," between EKU and WKU never had a trophy, but each school played a diffferent Kentucky school for one at one point.

EKU and Morehead State once played for "The Old Hawg Rifle," but they stopped using the trophy even before the rivalry was put on hiatus as Morehead State went to non-scholarship football. Rumor is that the teams will play in Richmond in 2008, but I wouldn't expect the gun to make an appearance.
-Additionally, it was once traditional for the winning school to cancel classes on the day before Thanksgiving while the students of the losing institution would not begin break until Thanksgiving itself.

Since I mentioned it, WKU and Murray State played for a Red Belt back when they were both in the OVC. I believe that trophy did make an appearance when the two faced each other in the 2002 playoffs.

There's simply too much alumni pressure on Gene to get the game done in 09 for him to ignore. He's gunna have to do it at least for a home/home.

I HOPE we keep the series with UC Davis, but you never know.

Iowa State
Sam Houston

09 is a 12 game regular season.

[MplsBison]

Georgia Southern

Bank on it.

[MplsBison]

GSU and MT State are 08.

Sam Houston and Iowa State are 09.



12 game regular season for 09 (either by the calender rule or they'll change the rule to match with FBS).

[TheBisonator]

Team makers represent a portion of the total NDSU alumni base.


I get the impression that they like to think they're the sole decision makers, but they're not the only voices that count.

They're the ones who give the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

And I took statistics, pal - I don't think it's that unreasonable to extrapolate a percentage (VAST majority) of a sample base of 2,500 (TeamMakers count) to a living alumni count of 80,000, of whom maybe only half care about the football team (40,000).

The alumni don't want it. Unless you've personally talked to over 3,000 NDSU alumni recently...

We already do that with SDSU, and most likely in a couple years most of our conference home games will be like that too. Face it, UND is not the only team that can bring in the big crowds nowadays. Gene sees a lot more opportunity elsewhere. Listen, I'm tired of talking about this crap, I have to go take a sh it. Bye, MplsSioux.

[MplsBison]

The only thing better than crawfish dinner is 5 crawfish dinner.




I'm sure Gene will ignore a sold out Fargodome OOC UND simply because SDSU and possibly others can do it too.


What a joke.

The really sad part is you were probably right there cheering on NDSU when they played UND in 2003 and before.

[bincitysioux]

Wow, this started out as a rather interesting thread. Let me attempt to play the role of a "grown-up":

As mentioned earlier, UND and NDSU used to play for the Nickel Trophy. UND had another traveling trophy game up until 1999 also. The Sitting Bull trophy, a wooden bust of the Sioux Cheif, was awarded to the annual winner of the North Dakota-South Dakota game. Unfortunately, political correctness ran amok, and the trophy was retired.

Now back to your regularly scheduled bickering..........Episode title: "Liar, Liar Pants on Fire!!!!!!"

[MplsBison]

I can tell.


It's so pathetic that you won't even capitalize their initials, as they deserve.

Did UND kill your dog?

[MplsBison]

Everyone who hates UND makes this argument.


And I absolutely don't understand it.




Here's the analogous argument: "no, sorry boss, I don't want another paycheck that pays me 19 thousand instead of 16 thousand, having one 19 thousand paycheck is enough for me."


BS 20 times over.



At this level you automatically schedule any game that is a guaranteed sell out of your stadium. Damn everything else.

You have to do it.


You can't turn down money for childish BS.

When will you guys realize that the more you respond to Mplsbison's, the more he post and takes over and destoys the thread. Just ignore him.

[MplsBison]

They can choose to ignore me. Fine with me.


But I won't allow their opinions to go unchallenged as if they were the truth.

Argue all you want, just start a new thread so you do not chase off posters that are interested in "What trophy do you and your rival play for?".

NDSU and SDSU play for the Marker which has already been covered here. xthumbsupx

The Little Brown Stein


The Little Brown Stein is a rivalry trophy awarded to the winner of the college football game between the University of Idaho Vandals and University of Montana Grizzlies.

The trophy is, as the name implies, is a large stein mug with the results of all the games between the two painted on.


History
Idaho and Montana first played in 1903 with Idaho winning 28-0. Idaho for the most part has dominated the series (55-27-2). Montana has won the last four matches despite the fact that Idaho moved up to NCAA Division I-A (highest division) while Montana remains at Division I-AA.

If the Big Ten expands, it could possibly reach all the way to the WAC.


Any idea if Montana would be considered as a WAC replacement?

NDSU & SDSU play 4 the Dakota Marker.... So far: Bison: 2, Jacks: 1.

The Bison have also had the last two games at home (which they won) due to weird scheduling in the GWFC. This year they get to go to Coughlin and last time they were there is the one win. The jacks really struggle in the dome, this year should be a great game.

well put. i think it will be a close game actually, even though ndsu has higher preseason rank

[I-AA Fan]

Here is a fairly complete list I was working on. I never added it to the site, as I did not have the time, or the responses from the institutions. I may do something with it later this year.

By all means, send any additions or changes you feel are needed.

hmmm, pic must have been taken before the game. jk.

[JBB]

NDSU has one trophy game with SDSU. Its turned into the game of the year and looks like it will be televised annually along with a lot of other BISON games.

After that it would be the GWFC teams especially UCD and Poly. I expect openings in the future NDSU schedules, at least for the next couple of years will be taken up by those teams.

Looming rivalry: UNI. This will be the renwal of an old NCC rivalry. UNI was one of the great teams in old NCC history. I think NDSU has some catching up to do. That gives us 2 traditional rivals in SDSU and UNI.

[MplsBison]

NDSU also has a longstanding trophy game with UND.



Every time you try to pretend that UND doesn't exist, JBB, I'll be right here to drag you out of your fantasy.

Hampton and Howard play in the Battle of "Real HU."

But we don't play for anything, yet.

Maybe we should both play for a big HU trophy, and whichever team wins, gets the trophy and the right to be called The Real HU for that year.
