Little Brown Jug: The Michigan-Minnesota Football Rivalry

When the Michigan Wolverines arrived in Minneapolis to battle the Minnesota Gophers in 1903, a simple 30"e;, five-gallon Red Wing stoneware water jug began football's first rivalry trophy game. The "e;Little Brown Jug"e; has been the subject of conspiracy theories, theft, national championships, and most of all pride, with each game's victor prominently displaying the jug on its campus--until it is fought for again.
