You know guys, I really don't think we're in much of a position to make fun of anyone for the next few years.

at least their cheerleaders have some jugs!!

UT-MARTIN: The tradition of the Spirit Jug is alive and well at Skyhawk football games at Hardy M. Graham Stadium.

Started by former women's athletics director Bettye Giles in the mid 1950s, Spirit Jugs (painted with Team Spirit XXX) are awarded by the cheerleaders to the best spirit group at football games.

In recent years, the school administrators had planned to make the orange-painted jugs - in the shape of a moonshine jug and equipped with crook handle and corn cob stopper - a rotating trophy of sorts, but coveted by many and kept close at hand by the precious few who win, the athletic staff must re-stock the shelves each fall.

"In the 1950s, we got our ample supply of empty jugs from the school cafeteria, but today it's a little harder to find them," said Giles.

Several groups will vie for the first shipment of 2009 Spirit Jugs when UT-Martin hosts Iowa Wesleyan on Thursday at 6 p.m. CDT.

Legend has it that the jug's origin was for haulin' moonshine and groups probably retained them for "medicinal purposes" for those a little under the weather after the game or even during the game.

Of course, for the winning group from the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, members note that the popular liquid is homemade sweet tea.
