For you that b**** about our football trophy traditions, look at this butte that goes to the winner of the ISU/Mizzou game!

TELEPHONE TROPHY - Issued to the winner of the Missouri-Iowa State football game ... Originated in 1959. The strangest of circumstances got this rivalry underway ... Prior to the 1959 game in Ames, a Missouri assistant coach put on his headset in the press box and got a big surprise - he could hear the Iowa State coaches chatting, since the wires were crossed and each side could hear the other ... Northwestern Bell of Ames donated the trophy, made of Alexander Graham Bell's chief invention ... Missouri won the first game, 14-0.
