Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt won’t be playing only for the rights to take home the Birmingham Bowl trophy, the two teams also will play for a prize cowbell, an award given to the winning team in the series between the two schools that first played in 1892 and last met in 2016 at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
The winning team in the series, since 1924, has held the rights to the silver cowbell, which will have the year of the game and final score engraved on it. Tech has held the trophy since a 38-7 victory in 2016, one of six consecutive wins since 1965. Vanderbilt has not beaten Tech since 1941, going 0-12-1 against the Yellow Jackets since.
According to an article on ramblinwreck.com, the trophy was the brainchild of Ed F. Cavaleri, an Augusta native described by the Atlanta Constitution as, “a faithful Georgia Tech supporter though he did not attend the Jacket institution. While on his way to the 1924 game, Cavaleri bought a cowbell at an Atlanta hardware store to use as a noisemaker. Vanderbilt won 3-0, but afterward, someone suggested that Cavaleri should award the bell to the winning team.”
Any time the two teams met between 1924 and 1967, Cavaleri gave the cowbell to the winning team. The schools were members of the SEC together for the 1933-63 seasons.
The trophy was located ahead of the 2016 game, the first time the two programs had met since 2009 and just the fourth time the two programs had met this century.

I did the Alumni tailgate in Oxford at the Grove last year. It was a blast!
 
My son is trying to twist my arm to go to the game. If my schedule was anything but what it is that day, I would cancel my afternoon and we would be there. I am done with work around 345P that day; I considered just having my wife drop him off at my center that afternoon and we hightail it BHam to make it for the second half. But the traffic projection on Friday at 345PM was over 3 hours which would not make sense. Lose your voices for us dudes.

I wish it was on the table for me. If this were later, or if my schedule that day was almost any other schedule I could have, we’d be there for sure.
 
Well I was going to mention a great deli for a Rueben in Bham but it closed in 2009. I guess my friend doesn't back there much - haha
