==History==
The cup was originally awarded to the Arizona Territorial Normal School football team for winning the Arizona Territorial Football League Championship after a season of three games in 1899. As a result, the cup is actually the property of Arizona State University. The Normals, as they were known at the time, were undefeated in gridiron matches with the Phoenix Union High School (6-0), the Phoenix Indian School (6-0) and the University of Arizona (11-2).

The first “Big Game” against the University of Arizona was played on [[Thanksgiving|Thanksgiving Day]], November 30, 1899 at Carillo Gardens field in [[Tucson]] before a vocal and enthusiastic crowd of 300 fans. Newspaper accounts suggested this was the University team’s first game and that the Normal squad was physically larger and better conditioned. The atmosphere was one of genuine sportsmanship as the University students met the Normal team at the train station, entertained them at a campus dormitory and hosted a post-game Thanksgiving feast.

<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[File:amtn.jpg|250px|thumbnail|The Hayden Butte]] -->
Both universities feature a large "A" upon a [[butte]]. Originally Arizona was the first to feature the "A" in 1916. (Arizona State's "A" is on [[Hayden Butte]] next to the Tempe campus, while Arizona's is perched on top of [[Sentinel Peak (Arizona)|Sentinel Peak]], about two miles southwest of campus). Both are publicly accessible. Arizona State's "A" is painted gold for the school's colors of "maroon" & "gold". Arizona's "A" is traditionally painted white, but has been red, white and blue since the beginning of the [[Iraq War]]. On rivalry weekend during football season, each university tries to paint the other's "A" with the colors of their school (red and blue for Arizona; maroon and gold for Arizona State), while students and police guard each site.


Arizona leads the series 46-37 with one tie. Arizona State has won the most recent matchup, defeating the Wildcats 30-29 in double overtime on December 2nd 2010.<ref name="2OT">[http://espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=303360012*],http://espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=303360012.</ref>

The Territorial Cup is a trophy that is awarded annually to the winner of the college football game (commonly referred to as "The Duel in the Desert") between the Arizona State University (ASU) Sun Devils and the University of Arizona (UA) Wildcats and has also served as the symbol of the long standing rivalry between the two schools. The Territorial Cup is one of the oldest trophy rivalry games in the NCAA.

History

The Territorial Cup was originally awarded to the Arizona Territorial Normal School football team for winning the Arizona Territorial Football League Championship after a season of three games in 1899. As a result, the cup is actually the property of Arizona State University. The Normals, as they were known at the time, were undefeated in gridiron matches with the Phoenix Union High School (6-0), the Phoenix Indian School (6-0) and the University of Arizona (11-2).

The first “Big Game” against the University of Arizona was played on Thanksgiving Day, November 30, 1899 at Carillo Gardens field in Tucson before a vocal and enthusiastic crowd of 300 fans. Newspaper accounts suggested this was the University team’s first game and that the Normal squad was physically larger and better conditioned. The atmosphere was one of genuine sportsmanship as the University students met the Normal team at the train station, entertained them at a campus dormitory and hosted a post-game Thanksgiving feast.

Arizona State University records do not document an award ceremony after the first Big Game on Thanksgiving Day in 1899, and the early whereabouts of the cup remain a mystery to this day. A newspaper clipping from ca. 1980 suggests the cup was found in the basement of a church adjacent to the ASU campus, and staff from the ASU Alumni Association recall seeing it on display at the Alumni Association headquarters in Mariposa Hall at that time. Sometime between 1980 and 1983 the cup was transferred to University Archives, then under the jurisdiction of the late Alfred Thomas, longtime ASU Registrar and Director of Admissions. The cup was again placed on display at the University Archives Building (now the Piper Creative Writing Center) until approximately 1992 when the archival exhibits were remodeled.

In 2001 then ASU President Lattie Coor ordered that the Territorial Cup be shared with the University of Arizona such that the winner of the Big Game takes custody of the cup for the ensuing year. President Coor and then UA President Peter Likins signed a protocol governing use of the cup and assigning responsibility for the cup to specific offices at each university. Each year the tradition of the rivalry and the Territorial Cup is celebrated at a pre-game reception for ASU and UA boosters.

The cup itself is silverplate over britannia base metal and was manufactured by Reed and Barton of Taunton, Massachusetts. It was a standard style priced at $20 ($456.60 in 2008 dollars) in Reed and Barton's 1910 catalog. The inscription reads "Arizona Foot Ball League Championship 1899 Normal".

Arizona-Arizona State rivalry (State Farm Territorial Cup Series)

The “Territorial Cup”, is the rivalry football game between ASU and UA and is among the nation's oldest and most heated rivalries, including the oldest trophy in college football. The winner of the game is then given possession of the Territorial Cup until the game is played the next year. In the modern era of the game, it has often been played on the day after Thanksgiving (and in recent years on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to accommodate network television coverage).

Starting with the 2009-2010 school year, State Farm became the presenting sponsor for the State Farm Territorial Cup Series. This series encompasses each of the 18 sports that Arizona and Arizona State compete head to head in. Each sport is worth 1 point in the year long competition. The school that wins the most head to head competitions is awarded the new State Farm Territorial Cup Series Trophy.

The rivalry dates back to before Arizona was admitted as a state, and was a U.S. Territory. In the early history of Arizona, a resentment between the cities of Phoenix and Tucson emerged. The University of Arizona was founded in 1885 as the state's first university. The same year, Tempe Normal School was founded as a small teacher's college in the farming community of Tempe, just east of Phoenix. Over the years, Tempe Normal School evolved into Arizona State Teacher's College, then Arizona State College at Tempe, and eventually Arizona State University. Although both athletic programs have been consistently in the top 20 in the Director's Cup standings for the past decade, the two schools have featured a difference in athletic strengths.

Arizona has generally featured the better men's basketball, women's softball, women's volleyball, and Men's & Women's swimming and diving. Both Arizona and ASU boast numerous players on rosters in the NFL and MLB.

Arizona State has generally featured the better women's basketball team, Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field, and in recent decades earned greater national accolades in baseball. Arizona State has also won national championships in wrestling, and both Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field, sports in which Arizona does not compete.

In addition, Arizona State and Arizona are very similar in National Championships won; ASU with 22 and Arizona with 17.

Both universities have historically featured perennial top-25 baseball teams and have had similar success in the sport. ASU has won five national championships, appearing in the title series a total of ten times with 32 NCAA Tournament Appearances, while Arizona has won three national championships, appearing in the title series a total of six times with 34 NCAA Tournament Appearances. Among the many baseball greats to play at ASU are Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, Home Run Record Holder Barry Bonds, Sal Bando, Rick Monday, Bob Horner, Andre Ethier, Paul LoDuca, and Dustin Pedroia. Arizona boasts Terry Francona, Kenny Lofton, Trevor Hoffman, J.T. Snow, Joe Magrane, and Chip Hale.

The University of Arizona has consistently featured a superior men's basketball team. Arizona has earning a national championship in 1997 as well as 11 Pac-10 titles (21 in total), numerous top ten finishes, and the nation's longest active (and second-longest altogether, 27 years) series of consecutive appearances (25 years) in the NCAA Tournament*. The Wildcats' men's basketball team also is tied for second in the nation in players participating currently on NBA rosters. NBA Wildcat alums include Gilbert Arenas, Richard Jefferson, Andre Iguodala, Luke Walton, Jason Terry, Channing Frye, Mike Bibby, Damon Stoudamire, Steve Kerr, Tom Tolbert, Wooden Award Winner Sean Elliott, and Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson.

Sports in which the two schools are roughly even include golf, where both programs are among the best in the country. In men's golf, ASU has won 2 national championships to Arizona's one, and has won 5 individual championships, including 3 by Phil Mickelson. In women's golf, ASU has won 7 national titles, and Arizona has won 2, including 1 individual championship by Annika Sörenstam and 2 by Lorena Ochoa both are known as the best golfers in the sport. Both schools have been crowned with 4 individual champions.

Game results

Arizona leads the series 46-37 with one tie. Arizona State has won the most recent matchup, defeating the Wildcats 30-29 in double overtime on December 2nd 2010.[3]
