On Saturday afternoon following Texas Tech Red Raiders’ game against the TCU Horned Frogsin Lubbock, the winning team will walk away with a trophy that was created in the 1960s during this rivalry. The trophy is called the Saddle Trophy, and it was awarded for 10 games before it went away in 1971. Here’s what this bad boy looks like:



With the trophy’s renewal, Saturday’s game is being called the battle for the Saddle Trophy. TCU’s official release includes some of the features that are on the saddle, which is a replica of the original trophy:

The Saddle Trophy sits on a stand and includes the logos for TCU and Texas Tech. Currently, scores for 59 years of the rivalry are represented on the Saddle Trophy stand with adornment of the trophy plates to equal 100 years. It will travel in a case to Lubbock and be presented to the winning team after the game.

Since we got it made in Fort Worth - it seems we could have made the 2014 Game Score pop out a bit with maybe a gold plate :). I have never had more fun at a home game ....
