  • At about 545 pounds and roughly $10,000 to build, the Fremont Cannon is often called the heaviest and most expensive trophy in college football.
  • In 1978, Nevada took the cannon apart and brought it home on a commercial flight after Chris Ault persuaded airport security to allow it.
  • The cannon used to be fired after touchdowns, but it has been silent since it was damaged in a UNLV celebration and repaired in 2000.
