Governor's Victory Bell

Common card · No. 221025

The Governor's Victory Bell is an American college rivalry trophy contested between the Minnesota Golden Gophers of the University of Minnesota, and the Penn State Nittany Lions of the Pennsylvania State University. Both teams are members of the Big Ten Conference. Minnesota is a founding member, since 1896, while long-independent Penn State joined in 1993. The Governor's Victory Bell trophy was created to commemorate Penn States' first Big Ten conference game, against Minnesota, on September 4, 1993. The Governor's Victory Bell, alongside the Land Grant Trophy, is one of Penn State's two traveling rivalry trophies. It is Minnesota's fourth official trophy, behind the Little Brown Jug, Floyd of Rosedale, and Paul Bunyan's Axe, and ranks the Golden Gophers first in the Big Ten for number of in-conference rivalry trophies.
