The Virginia Tech Hokies and Tennessee Volunteers will meet at Bristol Motor Speedway in just under a month. The two storied programs will be competing in front of, what is expected to be, the largest crowd to ever witness a college football game. An event of such epic proportions deserves a commensurate award for victory.
The prize is monstrous, weighing over 200 pounds, over two feet tall, and two feet wide. The design, by John Nilsen, beat out hundreds of other entries submitted to the Battle at Bristol trophy design contest. The trophy itself is breathtaking and should look quite nice in Blacksburg.
