51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ football's 23-17 victory on Saturday over UNR brought the campus more than bragging rights. The winner of the rivalry game also gets to keep the Fremont Cannon and paint it in the team's colors. The team paraded the trophy from the Lied Athletic Center to the Student Union on Oct. 5, 2015.

Each member of the football team added to the cannon's Rebel transformation. After the ceremony, the trophy was delivered to the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ paint shop, where workers will fully refinish the cannon in scarlet paint.

The cannon will now be displayed at all home football games until UNR wins it back in the (hopefully distant) future.
