The "Do You Like White Women Game?" or "Winner Gets The White Women Game" are better than the "Bluebonnet Battle".

It would memorialize the immortal words of a coach who was associated with both teams.

Someone on "X" jokingly said Baylor wanted to call it "61-58". Gave me a chuckle.

It should be called “The Revivalry” and the trophy should the State of Texas with the stretch of I-35 that connects Waco and Dallas popped out and a golden Bible in the heart of that stretch of road

Or, the game could simply be called, THE BRISKET, and the trophy, a partially sliced slab of brisket carved from wood one would use to smoke a brisket; maybe poke a big cast iron fork in it too. The victor gets The Brisket, and is treated to a meal of brisket either in the locker room or an established barbecue in Fort Worth, Waco or somewhere in-between. It is not The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, but it is Texas barbecue.

Texas barbecue is about beef brisket, so there it is - the game name, trophy and a postgame celebratory barbecue. A Texas rivalry should have already established THE BRISKET and maybe now will! I think this would be great for the close proximity I-35 TCU/Baylor rivals or could have been TCU/Texas rivalry, but now, maybe TCU/Houston?

The Bluebonnet Battle trophy is a circular battle shield, hand-forged in steel by Baylor alumnus Bryant Stanton of Stanton Studios in Waco, Texas. Additional facts:

The face of the shield features:
  • The logos of both universities;
  • An outline of the State of Texas adorned with Bluebonnets on either side and boldly displaying the rivalry’s official name; and
  • The year 1899, when Baylor and TCU first met on the gridiron.
The trophy is two-and-a-half feet wide and rests in a mesquite wooden base, embellished with the lone star of Texas.

Winner of the game gets a “Battle Shield.” Loser of the game gets 2 of ‘em.

The dot locating TCU in the outline of Texas is too far north, a bit too close to the Oklahoma border. I nitpick, but I expect an artist to get dimension correct and nail the geography when deciding to use a map to represent the rivalry.

I’m not artistic but that looks like something my kid did in cub scouts and then got yelled at by my wife for doing a half-assed job.

Texas barbecue is about beef brisket, so there it is - in game name, trophy and a postgame celebratory meal. A Texas rivalry should have already established THE BRISKET and maybe now will!

Lincoln Riley already prepared the wood brisket for the trophy.
