App - Ga Southern Trophy

Unread post by APPdiesel » Wed Sep 30, 2015 11:42 pm

This is 100% conjecture and only for fun...but the new trophy game between Troy and South Alabama has been mentioned here. If you're not aware it's a WWE style wrestling belt.

Some have said it would be great to have App and Ga Southern play for an annual trophy. If that were to happen, I ask you, what kind of "trophy" should it be? Let's be creative and just have some fun talking about what we'd like to see. Who knows who's ears these ideas may reach.

Lol, lame. Had to tie it in to all sports to give Ga State a chance.

What about the Gatalachian Trophy?

And get something goofy, yet cool like an airplane propeller, steam whistle or..I dunno, ring bell.

Like the name, but don't like the idea of putting GATA first. Justifiable pettiness. What about a paintable kickoff cannon that you get to keep and fire at your home games until the next season. Think something like this with a cooler base that we could mount on top of Owens Field House.

Those things are fun. We used to have one that we shot off every morning at the Scout camp I worked at. (Ran off a 12 gauge blank) They're nice but don't be near a vehicle, we accidentally shattered a few windows with the concussion.

I like the idea of the cannon, and of playing for a trophy. The rivalry already exists, so might as well give ESPN and the media something to call it, and talk about. It would be even better if that game could be scheduled for ESPN's Rivalry Week every year too.

I remember back in the late 80's and early 90's the Clemson/NC State games were called the "Textile Bowl," and Duke played Northwestern every year during Spurrier's term in what was referred to as the "SAT Bowl." All, no doubt, copy cats from Auburn/Alabama Iron Bowl, but at least something to add a bit of interest to the games (especially for the Duke/Northwestern match-up).

On a side note, Cobb is only half-way copy catting with his "all sports" trophy. Duke and Carolina play football for the Victory Bell, but used to also compete for the Carlyle Cup, which was awarded the school with the most head-to-head wins across all of the shared varsity sports. The Carlyle Cup stopped in 2011.
“When you take that field today, you've got to lay that heart on the line, men. From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you've got in your body, lay it on the line until the final whistle blows.”

A jug or jar of Peach Moonshine. Gerogia is covered with the peach (Peach State) and App is covered with the shine. The Peach-Shine Bowl.

We already have a trophy we can use for that game. Just take the Old Mountain Jug, paint over the Catamount, and put an Eagle on it. 8-)

No. You don't paint over history like that. The jug is ours. It'll stay in our trophy case as a symbol of our dominance over a long time rival.
