In 2013, RGJ sports writer Chris Murray broke down the top-10 rivalry trophies in college football. With Nevada and UNLV playing for the Fremont Cannon this week, we bring back his original list. (Of note: After Saturday's game, Nevada's Jay Norvell will have played or coached for four of the top seven).
1. The Fremont Cannon (Nevada-UNLV): I might be biased, but I don’t see any other schools handing out a 545-pound, $10,000 cannon.
