Big Ten trophies
Trophies are awarded after most rivalry games, and nobody does the rivalry trophy like the Big Ten. The winner of the Michigan-Minnesota game gets the Little Brown Jug. The Old Oaken Bucket goes to the winner of the Purdue-Indiana game. The Floyd of Rosedale is awarded to either Iowa or Minnesota. The Old Brass Spittoon goes to the winner of the winner of the Indiana-Michigan State game. And the Land Grant Trophy is awarded to either Penn State or Michigan State. Legendary lumberjack Paul Bunyan has the honor of being the namesake of two trophies in the Big Ten. The Paul Bunyan Trophy is reserved for the winner of the Michigan-Michigan State game, and Paul Bunyan's axe is given to the winner of the Wisconsin-Minnesota game. The Big Ten as spittoons, jugs, cannons, bells and axes. How great is that?
Costume mascots
Nothing says college football spirit like costume mascots. Perhaps one of the most recognizable mascots in today's era is Puddles, the high-flying, motorcycle riding Oregon Duck, who comes tearing out of the tunnel before Ducks games. Puddles first appeared at Oregon games in the 1920s, and it resembles Donald Duck thanks to a verbal agreement between Walt Disney and former Oregon athletic director Leo Harris. The two parties signed a formal agreement in 1973. Other great costume mascots include Miami's Sebastian, Western Kentucky's Big Red, Florida's Albert and Alberta, Auburn's Aubie, Michigan State's Sparty, Ohio State's Brutus and Minnesota's Goldy Gopher.
