TheVictory Bell is the trophy that was awarded to the winner of the now defunctPacific–San José State football rivalry game. It was acollege football rivalry between thePacific Tigers football team of theUniversity of the Pacific and theSan José State Spartans football team ofSan José State University.

University of the Pacific was founded in 1851 inSanta Clara, California but soon moved toSan Jose, California, and claims to be the first institution of higher education in California.^[1] San José State University was founded in San Jose, California in 1857 and is California's first public institution of higher education. Due to the "private vs. public" institutional competitiveness and the close geographical proximity of the two schools, a natural "cross-town" rivalry was born.

The series ended in 1995, when Pacific dissolved its football team citing cost issues.^[2] At the conclusion of the rivalry, San Jose State led the series, 43–23–6 for a total of 72 matches. The Victory Bell was introduced in 1949.

Historical overview

[edit]

The 100-year series between San José State and Pacific began in 1895 with a game held at Pacific, which ended in a 0–0 tie. The first victor of the series came in 1898 when San Jose State won 18–0 at home. Pacific's first win of the series was a 34–0 in 1921 at home.

Ahead of the 1949 game, members of Pacific's Alpha Kappa Phi fraternity commissioned a bell to serve as the trophy for the series.^[3] The bell is two feet tall and waist-high on a rolling cart, it features an orange "P" for Pacific on half, and blue with a gold "SJ" for San Jose on the other half.^[4]

In 1969, San Jose State became a charter member of thePacific Coast Athletic Association (which later became theBig West Conference),^[5] Pacific joined for football only, becoming a full member two years later, allowing the series to be a conference match-up.^[6]

In 1992, San Jose State had their ninth consecutive win, the longest win streak of the series. In 1995, Pacific's Board of Regents voted to disband the football team to save money for the athletic program, which was reported to have gone over $400,000 in debt.^[2]

After the dissolution of the series, the Victory Bell trophy was adopted and traded between the school's basketball teams, which happened until 2009. Since 2018, the Victory Bell has been on loan from San Jose State to theSan Francisco 49ers Museum atLevi's Stadium as a part of an exhibit onBay Area college football.^[4]
