Jon Cooper | 9 years ago

If the Tennessee-Vanderbilt football rivalry game had a name, what would it be and what trophy would be handed to the winning team?

The Tennessean asked its readers that very question, and the responses were, well, interesting. The newspaper also said it is willing to pay for the trophy to be passed back and forth to the winning team.

By July 27, the paper had over 500 responses from readers with suggestions. Among them were I-40 Cup, Grits Cup and the Smoky Mountain Music Cup, among others. You can read all the suggestions or submit your own here.

Tennessee leads the all-time series 74-30-5.

What would an appropriate name or trophy be for the rivalry?
