Florida-Georgia winner to get "Okefenokee Oar" 
<http://chalkboard.blogs.gainesville.com/11656/florida-georgia-winner-to-get-okefenokee-oar/>

by Nathan Crabbe <http://chalkboard.blogs.gainesville.com/author/crabbe/> 
(Gainesville SUN)





The winner of this Saturday's Florida-Georgia game will get a wooden oar to 
go along with bragging rights.

The University of Florida Student Government announced Wednesday that the 
"Okefenokee Oar" would be presented to the game's winner starting this year, 
in the hopes of establishing an annual tradition.

"It's just a way to increase the friendly competition in the game," said 
Eric Conrad, student government spokesman.

Presenting such a trophy follows in the tradition of other rivarly games 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_college_football_rivalry_games> . 
The winner of Michigan-Minnesota gets the Little Brown Jug, the winner of 
Minnesota-Wisconsin gets Paul Bunyan's Axe and other teams have also 
exchanged quirky items in longstanding rivalries.

The oar, which will be presented to the student government president of the 
winning university, is carved from a 1,000-year-old cypress tree cut from 
the Okefenokee Swamp <http://www.fws.gov/okefenokee/> , according to student 
government. The swamp straddles the Florida-Georgia border.

The oar is "supposed to symbolize the area that has always been fought over 
by the states," Conrad said.

The Wikipedia list says the FL-FSU game is the "Sunshine Showdown" with a
"governor's cup" award. I seem to recall that at one time there was an old
Indian canoe that was the trophy for that game.

I think this is pretty silly.  Here in Big Televen country it seems they
give a trophy out for every single regular season game.  You get trophies
for winning championships, not for beating rivals.  For that you get
scoreboard and a year of bragging rights.

 

Here is a sampling of the awesome trophies to be had:

 

Wisconsin - Minnesota Paul Bunyan's Axe 
Michigan - Minnesota Little Brown Jug 
Iowa - Minnesota Floyd of Rosedale
Illinois - Northwestern Sweet Sioux Tomahawk  
Purdue - Indiana Old Oaken Bucket 
Indiana - Michigan State Old Brass Spittoon (nice!)
Iowa - Wisconsin Heartland Trophy

Florida-Georgia winner to get "Okefenokee Oar"

The winner of this Saturday's Florida-Georgia game will get a wooden oar
to 
go along with bragging rights.

The University of Florida Student Government announced Wednesday that
the 
"Okefenokee Oar" would be presented to the game's winner starting this
year,

in the hopes of establishing an annual tradition.

"It's just a way to increase the friendly competition in the game," said

Eric Conrad, student government spokesman.

Presenting such a trophy follows in the tradition of other rivarly games

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_college_football_rivalry_game
s> .

The winner of Michigan-Minnesota gets the Little Brown Jug, the winner
of 
Minnesota-Wisconsin gets Paul Bunyan's Axe and other teams have also 
exchanged quirky items in longstanding rivalries.

The oar, which will be presented to the student government president of
the 
winning university, is carved from a 1,000-year-old cypress tree cut
from 
the Okefenokee Swamp <http://www.fws.gov/okefenokee/> , according to
student

government. The swamp straddles the Florida-Georgia border.

The oar is "supposed to symbolize the area that has always been fought
over 
by the states," Conrad said.

I think this is pretty silly.  Here in Big Televen country it seems they
give a trophy out for every single regular season game.  You get trophies
for winning championships, not for beating rivals.  For that you get
scoreboard and a year of bragging rights.
