South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp said on Wednesday's SEC teleconference that he was unaware his program and Texas A&M play for a trophy. He asked the media for its name.

Few who will be on the sideline of Saturday’s game were aware of the Bonham Trophy, which was commissioned in 2013 by then Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. It was to be the prize for the winner of the annual SEC cross-division matchup between the two schools.

“What does it look like?” A&M defensive end Landis Durham asked, as one of eight A&M players polled Monday on the trophy.

Several A&M officials were asked of the whereabouts of the trophy, most were unaware of its existence. One athletics administrator had last seen it in 2014.

So what happened to the sculpture of James Bonham, an Alamo hero, after its creation before the Aggies’ 2014 matchup with South Carolina?

Over the last four years, it has found a home in the Alamo archives, according to Karina Erickson, the press secretary for Texas General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush, and Richard Burton Peterson, a James Bonham historian.

Peterson said the idea sparked from the Mayor's Cup, the prize for the winner of the annual South Carolina-Missouri meeting on the football field.

Bonham, a South Carolina political aide who became an Alamo hero, was the natural subject for a trophy linking A&M and South Carolina, Peterson said. The 1827 South Carolina alumnus rode from the Alamo with Col. William Barrett Travis’ written plea for reinforcements, and returned to the besieged mission and fought after the attempt to rally more troops failed. Col. Travis was also a native of South Carolina.
