There isn't much argument that the football team from the University of Minnesota contests the four most compelling trophies in the Big Ten (and arguably, all of college football). Floyd of Rosedale, Paul Bunyan's Axe, the Little Brown Jug, and the Broken Chair are worthy spoils for those contesting said contests.
The next trophy is a very 50s solution for a issue that continues to plague college football to this day: the trap game. From Off Tackle Empire (https://www.offtackleempire.com/2021/10/11/22684577/trophy-week-the-old-brass-spittoon):
Buffkomodo: If it seems random that these two schools would fight over a brass spittoon, you’re absolutely correct. It is. While Indiana and Michigan State played their first game in 1922, they did not begin playing for the spittoon until 1950. After beating Notre Dame (https://www.onefootdown.com/), the Michigan State junior class president Gene McDermott wanted to help the school football team from falling into a trap game vs Indiana.
Stealing inspiration from the Little Brown Jug, McDermott decided a trophy game might help pump up the Spartans. McDermott and his class secretary Virginia O’Brien walked into a local antique shop and discovered the spittoon. The two purchased the spittoon and cleaned it up, and sent a challenge telegram to the Indiana student body. The Indiana student body accepted the challenge, and thus a trophy game was born.
Michigan State and Indiana enter the 65th Old Brass Spittoon as the 11th and 12th most productive offenses in the Big Ten. They are averaging 667 YPG between them. Someone has to win, right?
Q: How many yards of offense will Michigan State and Indiana combine to generate?
Deadline is Saturday, November 19 at 11 AM CST. Good hunting.
