Mississippi and Mississippi State play for The Golden Egg Trophy in the Egg bowl.
Alabama and Auburn battle in the Iron Bowl for the Foy-ODK Sportsmanship Trophy.

Do you think the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game should have a name for their in-state rivalry?
What would you name the game and the trophy?

It's isn't a rivalry.......

Vandie would have to beat the Vols like 30 something more times before it qualifies as a rivalry

UT and Vandy have played each other over 100 times. To give it a game now would be pointless and contrived.

It's not a rivalry game. Vanderbilt is NOT one of Tennessee's rivals, just another SEC team that we historically throttle with resounding consistency that just so happens to reside in our state.

I get the point, but Vanderbilt is definitely a rivalry. Albeit, not an exciting one until Franklin came along. But, it is one I am dang happy we have. If it wasn't for the Vanderbilt rivalry, we would have probably never ended up with the General.

Vandy consistently beat us until we hired Neyland to stop the bleeding. He did that, and much much more!

Vandy has been and always be one of our rivals
