Battle for the Little Brown Jug: Michigan (3-1) vs Minnesota (3-1) (12PM ET, FOX)

[TrueOrange]

It’s the 107th meeting in a rivalry dating all the way back to 1892. The two played yearly from 1919-1998 (including playing each other twice in 1926, because why not?) before Penn State’s joining of the conference made it a “played every 8 out of 11 years” matchup before further realignment changed it even further. Michigan has won the last 5 meetings and leads the series 78-25-3, with Minnesota’s last win coming 7 matchups ago in 2014.

It’s also the oldest trophy game in FBS football. The winner gets The Little Brown Jug: one of the most regularly exchanged rivalry trophy in college football and the , the second oldest rivalry trophy overall, next to Arizona/Arizona State’s Territorial Cup (which was created in 1899 and did not become a travelling trophy until 2001),

The trophy jug has each team’s logo and main color on either side, along with the scores of each game in the rivalry.

Minnesota’s offense is crap, but Underwood keeps Underwooding.

 

[TrueOrange]

TD Golden Gophers! It’s now 20-14 Minn with 13:44 left in the game

 

[C-south]

I sure hope FB doesn’t turn out to be an underwood.

 

[AustinMem]

I’m am becoming more and more convinced that heavily recruiting these star HS QBs and giving them big NIL deals worth millions is a waste and that money is likely better spent on bringing in a qualified transfer (and ideally strong trench players)

Michigan will get the ball back with 2 minutes left, down 20-14. How many extra seconds will they be awarded today?

 

[Boston Vol]

Underwood is a legitimately bad quarterback

 

[Tenacjim]

Down goes Meeechigan!

 

[KoachKrab127]

Wow, Minnesota fumbled the final snap, but they got it back. Game over. Michigan is 2-3.

they are 3-2

 

[AustinMem]

Are they, though?

 

[TrueOrange]

Minnesota wins the jug 20-14 for the first time since 2014!

 

[TrueOrange]

I sure hope FB doesn’t turn out to be an underwood.

I mean, there’s a difference between “pressure keeps getting through the line all game and at risk of getting happy feet after getting repeatedly hit so much almost every play” and “across all 5 games this year has only thrown one completion to a receiver not named Marsh or Buchanan.”

 

[Rickyvol77]

they are 3-2

Went over your head as usual

 

[KoachKrab127]

they are 3-2

It was a joke, because we all know they really lost the Western Michigan game.

 

[Tin Man]

Minnie! Minnie! Ha Ha Ha! GooooOOO GOPHERS!
