Vanderbilt-Tennessee football game needs a name (The Tennessean)

[G0 BIG 0RANGE]

I don't think I've seen this posted anywhere, and merge if necessary, but I saw it on Twitter today and thought VN's suggested names could get interesting.

"What’s a good name for the Vanderbilt-Tennessee rivalry? I’d be interested in your thoughts. For the rabid fan, try to keep the venom aside. Selected suggestions will be published in a future column; the best of the suggestions will be presented to Vols coach Butch Jones, Commodores coach Derek Mason and the two universities’ athletic departments.

The Tennessean is willing to supply the trophy (or cup) for the two rivals to pass back and forth each year. But, first the game needs a name."

The Battle of The Three Star State

 

[LotteryPick]

"UT wins."

Lol @ "pass it back and forth"

Thanks for posting this i had linked thread from Vandymania where Vandy fans were talking about it. One Sided Rivalry Series would be a pretty good name.

"The Meeting Place Match Up"

The name "Tennessee" originated from the old Yuchi Indian word, "Tana-see," meaning "The Meeting Place."

That trophy is going to collect years and years of dust sitting in volhall

This would give Vanderbilt entirely too much legitimacy . :bash:

All jokes aside, I think this is a really good idea.

The same Tennessean that has been pumping negative story after negative story against UT? What's the trophy, A likeness of CBJ getting kicked in the nads?

"The Tennessee Waltz."

Saw that one on the Vandy board and despite the source, I think it's awesome.

 

[Giveem6]

But I think something along the lines of battle of I40 or the battle for the volunteer state

 

[montanatenn]

Scrimmage.

 

[HardKnoxVol]

No. In order to tie us, they would have to beat us...44 YEARS IN A ROW. They suck and will always suck. We'll kick their butt day in and day out forever.

James Franklin memorial.

Actually like that one. Not sure this is a good idea but if they did. I like that one.

The Orange & Black Bowl
The Tennessee Bowl
The War Bowl (Volunteers vs. Commodores both have ties to the military)
The God's Country Bowl (Tennessee is God's Country)
The Cumberland Bowl
The Whiskey Bowl (Tennessee is famous for Jack Daniels)

Personal Favorite: The Whiskey Bowl

"Tri-Star Battle" or "Battle of the Tri Star"

I would like something along these lines

 

[BigOrange15]

I would like something along these lines

I like a tri-star related one too. Something like Battle for the Tri-Star. Design a trophy with the tri-star-centric design and bam, free trophy every year for Tennessee.
