Victory Bell (Cincinnati–Miami)
The Miami–Cincinnati Victory Bell is the trophy awarded to the winner of the American college football rivalry game played by the Cincinnati Bearcats football team of the University of Cincinnati and the Miami RedHawks football team of Miami University. The Victory Bell is the oldest current non-conference college football rivalry in the United States (though the teams were briefly conference rivals in the late 1940s and early 1950s).

Finally, on March 3, 1803, two days after Ohio attained statehood, Congress granted one complete township to be located in the District of C ...
