The physical nature of the mobile phone is a rotary Trophy from a bygone era. Unlike a touch tone phone with oppositeKeys-style rotary phone style starting to turn around, you are used to dial numbers. Before the proliferation of touch-tone telephones, rotary phone was a way that takes time to initiate calls. The rotating part of the telephone receiver is used for listening, half-red (color Iowa State) and half yellow (color Mizzou). At the bottom of the phone are the scores of each game engraved trophy for the trophy from Iowa StateUniversity and the MU.
