What are the rivalry trophies between ACC teams?

Duke-UNC have a bell for the winner of the football game. It's mounted on a wheeled chassis.

Welcome back Army Mike. Good to hear from you again.

Jefferson-Eppes

Clemson and Boston College play for the O'Rourke–McFadden Trophy.

Clemson and NC State play for the Textile Bowl Trophy.

We got nothing.

We call it the Victory Bell.

What does Pitt have, the two girls one cup trophy?

Florida Cup.

Except UF never wants to play us...

And that's probably because in the last 30 years they've only beaten us twice - 1985 and 2008.

VT / VA play for the Commonwealth Cup.

If UofL ever starts playing Miami regularly, they could play for Schnellenberger's Pipe

Why do Clemson and BC have a trophy?

Like the majority of these "trophies" it's contrived. Just like the other contrived rivalry trophy since being implemented it's pretty much been a fixture in our trophy case. Hard to call either a rivalry trophy when the other side fails to keep up their side of the deal.

The only real rivalry trophy we have is the Hardees Trophy with South Carolina as that is the only trophy game out of all of our real rivalry games.

The Coach's pipe. That would be great. I love that idea.

I suppose UofL could play UNC for Daniel Boone's Rifle, or Pitt for the Pilot Wheel of a steamboat, or Virginia or Va. Tech for something since we share a border.

For some reason the ACC's best rivalry (The Battle of I-85) lacks a trophy. Don't ask me why. If nothing else an I-85 sign with the route over state outlines would do. And it's a great implicit way for both Clemson and GT to say that UGAg and the Triangle are meaningless in football. :)

Clemson fans would probably want to use a $2 bill instead, but I think that's not as good as what I said above.

$2 bill?
