If Georgia wins against Florida this weekend, the team could bring home a new 12-foot trophy – made of wood.

Student Government Association President Katie Barlow and University of Florida Student Body President Jordan Johnson will present a new traveling trophy to the winner of the ongoing football rivalry. The trophy – dubbed the Okefenokee Oar – is carved from a 1,000-year-old cypress tree cut from the Okefenokee Swamp. The SGA president of the winning side will give the oar to its team and carry it back to the winning school.

“The idea came from our SGA wanting to make it another tradition,” Barlow said on Wednesday. “There are so many rivalries around the country, and Georgia-Florida is pretty huge.”

The oar was carved from the swamp because both states claim the “Land of the Trembling Earth” as their own territory. After a history of boundary disputes, settlers navigated the St. Mary’s River to establish a border between the states.

The annual football game is “reminiscent of the struggle for the land in the days of old,” according to a news release sent out by both student governments. Barlow said she’s not yet sure where SGA will store the trophy if it travels back to the University.

“Typically the SGA president keeps it, but there’s no way it could fit in our office,” she laughed. “We could put it anywhere on campus – maybe near the big windows [in the bottom floor of the Tate Student Center] so people can see it during the Dawg Walk.”

The trophy was funded by both student governments and a donor who asked the groups to remain anonymous. The oar is now in Florida, being engraved for presentation this weekend.
