The winner of the Cotton Bowl Classic is awarded the Field Scovell Trophy (seen in the photograph above). Field Scovell was the consummate public relations man and patriarch of the Dallas sporting community. A goodwill ambassador whose famous "Howdy, Podner" greeting, his spontaneous one-liners, and the crunch of his handshake opened countless doors for the City of Dallas. For nearly four decades, Field served as the Cotton Bowl's Chairman of Team Selection. Some attributed his success to a dish of his famous homemade ice cream served up by his wife Mary. Regardless of what his secret may have been, people around the world knew him simply as Mr. Cotton Bowl. So, in his honor, the Classic's championship award is named the Field Scovell Trophy.
