per the Detroit News:
The Little Brown Jug will be on the line Saturday night at TCF Bank Stadium when 15th-ranked Michigan (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten) faces Minnesota (4-3, 1-2). The Jug has resided in Minneapolis and been on display at the football building. It has been requested for events and selfies.
And now Michigan wants it back.
“It’s an important part of history at Michigan and Minnesota,” Falk said. “It means something, yes it does. To Michigan, the meaning is we get a trophy, we come home and work toward our common goals.”
This will be the 95th game Minnesota and Michigan have played for the trophy and their 102nd meeting overall. A nondescript piece of old earthenware, featuring the painted scores of all the games, still means something to players today?
“I stopped by and saw the team (Friday) in the locker room and the players walked by and said, ‘Hey Big Jon, Little Brown Jug, Little Brown Jug,’” Falk said. “It still means something.”
