The Crab Trophy: We've got blue claws. They've got crab cakes. Can you envision the players from the winning team parading around with a giant crab trophy? Or better yet: A trophy of a big trap filled with crabs? Although I guess there is a downside if a player calls home after the victory. “Mom. Guess what? We got crabs!”
The HBO Villain Trophy: We've got The Sopranos. They've got The Wire. How about a trophy with Tony Soprano on one side and Omar from The Wire on the other. And don't try to tell me it isn't politically correct. The Indiana-Michigan State winner gets something called the “Old Brass Spittoon," for crying out loud.
The 95 Trophy: We've got the Turnpike. They've got the Beltway. Let's face it, nothing unites our two states more than our love/hate relationship with the highway that runs through the middle of our territory and lives. Of course, I-95 does go from Maine to Florida, so that's claiming quite a bit of road for a football game.
Delaware. It's perfect. New Jersey vs. Maryland, and the winner gets … Delaware! I'm guessing the folks in Maryland are just as annoyed with Delaware and its insane tolls for the 18 miles of highway between us. Delaware is even shaped like a trophy. If the people there don't like it, they should round up their Blue Hens and do something about it.
